Message Hi. I have a 1990 300zx TT with 666cc injectors running 17psi jwt ecu and k&n intake.

I'm having a massive problem with the performance of my Z.

I have absolutely no problem starting it. It starts on the very first crank every time even when cold. When the car is hot theres a rough idle. It may drop down to 500 rpm and sound really lumpy. Then it can run on 800 rpm normally just fine.

The biggest problem is that when I accelerate past about 4500 rpm it just chokes and it sounds like a cylinder cuts out. This doesn't really happen in 1st gear but past 1st and it's like driving a 200whp car.

So far I've only changed the fuel filter and I definitely noticed a difference but that may just be cause the fuel filter had not been replaced for a long time.

Please help me troubleshoot this problem :)

Best regards from Iceland :p
