            I have kind of been having this same problem too. I think you may need a AFPR. I have a wally 255 on my talon and I have sputterring problems when I'm cruising on interstate or sometimes just when I take off. I know I am running rich because I dont have a AFPR and the 255 flows too much fuel. I have added new plugs and they helped a bit. I hope that helps a little bit.

            Also, RidinRails, you should post up on how you fixed this problem. Thanks

              I dont know how differant the DSM fuel setup is from my 240 when It was stock, but, I rad a 255 on stock fuel sytem for 3months. I don't really see how the fuel system would be that bad. your FPR could be bad that will cause it to be rich.

                well i didnt own a shop, mine ran fine. Its called properly setting up your car. This includes the correct mods and a TUNE.....that is probably their biggest problem. Get a flipping wideband and an AFC and tune your car and you will be fine most of the time. But we got idiots out there throwing mods on and pushing their cars to the limit and blowing shit up because they didnt tune it.....

                                idk if this helps any, haven't really had muc experiance with it but anyways. so we took the eclipse out for a drive and had a scanner hooked up to it. now while eric was in first, when he has no problems the injector pulse width was reading around 8.3 mmsec all the way up to around 6k rpm or so. as soon as he went into 2nd gear and up though the injectors began stayin open for around 13.3 mmsec after around 3500 rpm it seemed. now im not totally sure on how long the injectors should be staying open but that didn't seem right and seemed to be linked to his sputtering, injectors staying open to long and just making it run way to rich. also something to note, erick has a test pipe in and is obdII that could be causing the engine to run rich as it is on top of the possible injector problem. long post lol any ideas from anyone?

                                  lol and ya you can't tune to much without some kind of piggy back or controller, you really should get that boost gauge installed to :icon_geek:

                                    well on a obd2 car removing the car will cause some issues, but if a check engine light or a code is not being thrown there should be a problem. What the issues will be is you will throw a code that would be triggered by the 2nd o2 sensor from not seeing a change in the A/F after the cat, cause the cat, isnt there or working.

                                    so, you guys go test the IPR in 1st and 2nd gear, did you check 3,4,5 and look at the differance in the pulse rate between the gears?

                                      ya, i know theres prolly nothing happening without a code being thrown, was just a though. didn't get to much time with the scanner so i only got accurate reads in the first 3 gears but like i said, 8.3 in first and then 13.3 in 2nd and 3rd

                                        forget that scanner, if you dont have both 02 sensors in you are going to run very rich. Go to www.o2simulator.com and buy a simulator this will help the code and correct your a/f. Also invest in a boost gauge and an AFC.....then you can tune it properly.
