ok kim, i am sorry about the bleeding, but i am happy that you were ok atleast..you guys got home safe, so it means the curse was a fake.

bangkok is a good guy, so i don't think bangkok can give a curse to anybody.

ok guys, we all should plan to go to 7 flags or to gokart.....hahaha
peace guys,

steven

I can't go to 6 flags with you Steven, because the rollercoasters will collapse.

I kid. Yeah, I'm up for 6 flags Sunday. Let's get a list going at some point?

Wtf, Sebastian? Why would a cop randomly stop you. Must be because you're from Brazil.

Also before you do it make sure to have bolts for it. I ended up having the shop do it because on the ground there isn't enough room to work.

Tony can do it cheap by chris's house.

HELP!!!!!!!

so yeah...my 8 is all kinds of screwed up like i told you guys yesterday.

I have been experiancing this issue since the weekend. My car stalls when I brake at high speeds - mostly when I'm in 5th or 6th gear.

Yesterday I decided to push it when i was closer to my girls house (exit 57 on the LIE / Suffulk county) . I was on the right lane put it into 5th and guned it to about 80/85 start braking and loss of power (the gas is cut off all the warning lights come on) and the car stalls. I pull over to should restart and continue to go on.

I decided for ***** kicks n giggles to see what would happen if I push it in 4th as soon as I hit 85/90 started to brake and it stalled again but this time I was in the left lane. Luckily for me there was no traffic in the HOV lane so I cut across 1 lane to the HOV shoulder. Restarted and went to my girls.

As I was driving to bank w/my girl in the 8. Doing 30ish at most in 3rd....as I braked it stalled for no f00king reason. Didn't happen again though.

I may have to strongly consider bringing in my car before rotorjam and miss the show all together :o( (If they can't fix it like ASAP status.)

Lets brain storm and see what we can come up with.

Before we start I am going to put the stock air box back in.

Now I'm thinking it's the following issues and in the order of most likely.

1. ECU
2. Electrical (since my car only shuts off when I brake at high speeds / doesn't the ecu control braking?)
3. Motor (maybe there is a leak or soemthing not right causing the loss of power / stalling?)
4. Fuel injectors or spark plugs?
5. Tranny (dunno how but maybe?)

So what do you guys think it could be?

If you're in neutral and rev it up then let off the gas completely, does it stall?

do you have to actually apply braking force or does it stall if you only press the pedal enough for the brake lights to come on?

It can be done in about an hour to an hour and a half. I didn't think it was that bad.

With the proper tools and good access, yes. On your back in a parking lot.. really depends. Although I wouldn't say no to a good laugh at someone's expense... right Jeff?
