    car studdering with the hood on!?

    92 ex 5sp.
    With the hood on the car studders
    With the hood off the car runs fine.
    Regrounded all my grounds (the motor was out of the car)

    I was thinking maybe I have a bad harness or it may be pinched somewhere.
    Obviously something is getting hot and acting retarded with the hood on.

    This car is turbo swapped with a basemap tune from keizenspeed (dsm 14b setup)
    Any suggestions or thoughts I might be missing?

    A pinched harness should be pretty easy to track down. Look for anyplaces it runs near the hood pinch points. If it's getting hot enough under there to affect the engine running with the hood on, then you have to figure out what is making the car run hot. How many times have you taken the hood off and put it back on to check that it's related?

    Does it do it with the hood on but open? More information is needed from your end so we can help you out.

        It happenned driving back from missoula.
        The car started studdering and shaking very vigorously. It scared the hell out of me.
        Then it stopped running goin 75mph.
        I had to wait for it to cool off then limped it to the gas station
        (But it wasn't overheating?)
        I saw a lot of heat waves coming from the motor bay.
        Bought some tie downs and strapped the hood to the roof :/
        Drove back home with no problems 2 hrs away
        The ecu has a 1lb boost cut. Breaking in the motor

        The plugs and wires are ngk
        Irid sparkplugs.
        Good thought though

        my guess is an electrical issue. 14b turbo puts out a lot of heat fron what I read.
        I believe it truly

        The car litterally acts retarded and stops running. But its not overheating.
        Other people are running 14b's why can't I with the hood on.
        I don't like showing my goodies haha

          you could have a coil issue excessive heat can caust the coil to miss and over heat causing a stalling situation

              There's no reason to "upgrade" the coil. The stock ignition system can handle up to or over 500hp. Changing things to add MSD components will only introduce more opportunities for something to go wrong.

              And studder isn't a word.
