Ok I took my car out of the garage the other day b/c the weather was really nice, now later in the day a did a donut, and after the donut i start to accelerate straight and about 6k rpm my car just like shut down like a fuel cut off, then did it again in 2nd gear. looking down i see my gas light is on so im hoping it was just b/c i had almost no gas, but then after coming into town i went w.o.t again and it had no cut out.

Now during this and after, no check engine light, ran and idled normal. m car never does this when i drive it hard b4, could it be the gas level or maybe a coil getting too hot or something? I have the mazsport ignition w/ brand new plugs.. anyone?

car run just fine now.

most likely because u were low on fuel.....if u filled up and everything was good prob because when u did the donut all the fuel got sloshed to one side and when u went to take off u sucked some air in the fuel lines and that's what caused ur problem.....

If I try to go near wot shortly after starting the car up when it is cold out (maybe 15-30 degrees) I get a fuel cutoff somewhere around 5 and 6k. This disappears when the engine warms up a bit. Is there something wrong with my engine or is this normal? (I know its bad to give it alot of gas when its still cold but I can't help it sometimes )

It's your ECU telling you that you're a dumbass

Better known as the over rev when cold cut off.........

is reading the owners manual that hard? i swear you should have to take a test before you get a car.. the test should be on the owners manual..

this is not a tooth brush...

ecu got confused with going round and round and went into " stop the world i want to get off " mode

Were you spinning in a counter clock wise direction? There are a few of us that have had fuel pump issues on high g left hand turns while on the track.
BTW: Donuts are for eating.

ok I never said at all it was when i first started the car up... im not an idiot, this was probably 30 min or more after i was driving. I didnt realize the gas was low, off in my own world b/c i was excited to drive the car and talk to my g/f in the passenger seat. so thanks for the flames even though you just assumed i did this at cold start up. * if you read my post in the first line i clearly state * later in the day**

^They wern't talking about you doing this when your engine was still cold...Read everyone elses post and you will see that one guy posted that he had the same problem when he was WOT and his engine was still cold...


Glad I could help

Why not just put gas in the car and go wide open throttle to see if the problem continues?

wassup_nuthin

sorry guys my bad.. i must of missed that one.. My bad!

Oh and the reason i havnt put gas in it was because i live n a small town and it was later in the afternoon and the only place that sales premium was closed so i just parked it in the garage and now there is snow on the ground
