Potential Buy 1997 GSX

If you're cruising around that rich, you might be fouling the plugs.

The battery being in the trunk wouldn't cause the car to die. The battery is just there to start the car and run accessories when the engine isn't running.

See and check if your head gasket is blown.

Leaking FLAM valve?

I mentioned the battery because the fuel pump is wired to it.
And I noticed today (as the car shut off twice on my way to work so in pulled over to check stuff)
That the positive connection to the battery was slightly loose (I could move it side to side if I put little bit of effort)

I also wonder about plugs going to swap those tomorrow for sure to verify. Buy other then wot.

This issue doesn't seem to matter what throttle, idle, cruise, a/f etc.

It shut of while I was parked getting my food from mcds drive through. A/f was completely normal when it happened.

Then next time I was doing tip in logging (where I zero the throttle while cruising and then tap the gas to 12% and it would then go to full lean and sputter sometimes if I leave the throttle alone afterwards itll go back to normal... but more often then not it shuts down.

I had it happen while cruising and and itll just sputter. I logged fuel flow after I pulled over to check stuff amd one thing I saw right away is the fuel flow will go from say 110cc/mm to zero or some times 50. When this happened. Ill back off the gas and then itll flow like normal (consistent)

Ill post logs tonight as I dont know how to connect my phone to the laptop

With thr fuel pump being wired directly to the battery for power. How should that be set up?

I do see a fuse in line but haven't had the chance to follow it to the pump. I ask this because every time the car has been sitting for a while it acts like there was something draining the battery.
And not sure maybe the pump is always on? How do I verify? (Again at a work or I'd be searching for the answers, so I apologize)


I log battery in every log and the volts dont change during any of these episodes.

Just going to say it, OMG dude I think you need to take a deep breath, come up with a plan, and tackle things 1 at a time. You're all over the place here.

I haveor been checking the oiloil and coolant ever day before I either drive it or when its all cold

Tell me about its like as soon as I get started to work on something, something else pops up lol

I haven't even told you guys I already had to fix the master slave cylinder.

Reality is I dont have to drive this car , I just want to.

My original issue was this fuel stutter at initial throttle now its lead to full on car shutting off. And out of all the things that need/ i want to be done this takes priority imo.

Im hoping jet will chime in with what kind of issues he had with his cop. Maybe some of this what he was experiencing.

Otherwise looking for a list of things I need to check.
-Plugs for sure will be swapped either tonight when I get home or tomorrow
-fix the battery terminal
-check the fuel pump wiring/setup
-check for clogged fuel filter
-I've checked the fpr at idle and the gauge reads stock

What else should I check?
