it is crazy that its one week from today what makes it even more crazy is my car broke down TWICE today i should have it figured out.. after idleing a while once warm, bliping the throtal stalls the car, and it wont start, even with pulling fuel and playing with timming. once it cools off, it starts again.... im confused

Jake... Look into TPS/MAP/MAF sensors... Those are the three sensors that work with Tip In.
And I know the feeling... i'll be taking it easy on the track... 19 lbs of boost pissed off the STi's clutch last week, and its starting to overheat a bit... I just got new radiator caps b/c thats probably what it is... putting them on in a few and going on test drives...

my tps is scewed anyways so.... i actualy dont even have my transient fuel enrichments enabled
MAP's fine, because i can drive the car all over the place from 17inch of vacume up to right now only 5.5lbs of boost and its fine
the first time it did it today i just stalled it, clutch was hot and grabbed and locked immediately and i stalled the 1.3L torque less monster on a rather steep hill when i was stopped for people on a cross walk.
it wouldnt start after that, i pulled as much as 1.5ms of fuel trying to start it and it wouldnt go, usualy if its hot and give me trouble, thats all it needs, i even went 5* with timming in either direction. towed it to a friends house, it cooled, changed plugs cus it needed it anyways and it ran fine
Drove it home, took a few people for rides, and parked it because the police showed up (i have the best luck, the house that was next to the intersection i HAD to do dougnuts at... happend to be the secretary of the local police department)
so it was idling in my yard happy as could be, i TOUCHED the throttle and it stalled.. wouldnt start, same issue. Let it cool off a bit (maby back to 180*, sitting there off after running makes everything hot, mechanical gauge in the water pump will usualy creep to 220-230 before giong back down) and it fired up, no issues. i didnt drive it though, it was suggested i park it for the night

Could it be something with the compression of the rotary engine under the heat stress with the low load?
I still think its something with your tip in.... Are you tuning the car? You say you changed timing, etc... are you changing the dist? or in the ECU? What are you using for editing if its in the ECU?

i dont exactly follow what you mean. engine has decent compression, pulls great vac at idle
while idling it pulls 17-18inches of vacume, and both times it happend the engine wasnt running exceptionaly hot
yes im tuning my car, running a wolf3d v4, its a full standalone
it probably is something with my tipin, however it just started yeasterday afternoon. i was thinking lastnight and maby i accidently grabbed the wrong cell when i was leaning all the high vacume stuff out and i caused the problem.

Well... Might be a car changeup for me... STi might have popped head gaskets... if so, we'll be bringing BlueBee... my Co-Drivers '04 WRX.

Try mom & pop alignment shops... They usually will do lowered cars.
