Re: Potential Buy 1997 GSX

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
