But it very well could be the ecu. Just went through some stuff recently with 2 bad ecus and they can do some funky stuff.

    cap and rotor are good, plugs good...

    I"m onto thinking it could be coolant sensor related, or ecu...

    no mods whatsoever to engine...Stebro exhaust system, thats all

      argh- also,
      which ohm setting should I set my multimeter at, when looking for current strength on the coolant temp sensor current?

        I have this problem too.

        Fucking odd, only when the temps get hot. Driving in the winter it is great. And then once the ambient temps gets around 90 it gets all fisky after running hard for about an hour.

        Really odd, like when you give it gas it makes an almost rhythmic spuddering noise?

        I cleaned my MAF out super well and the problem went away for awhile. But then came back, to the point that the car wont even start on days above 95* outside.

        Sound semi-similiar?

        Aa a bonus filling the tank will also double any Eta's resale value .

          BTW, I have brand new coolant sensor, and that is not what would cause these problems.

          I am definitly leanings towards ignition related or perhaps a cam sensor.
