Its nearly winter, too cold and the fast cars are put away already, either put away or broken.

Who is smuT? If you can figure out why my car doesn't like batteries, and get my car to quit hitting fuel cut, sure.

here's my best guess:

because fuel cut is pre-programmed into the ECU, there is no method of disabling it. There are no modifications that can do so, aside from an ECU upgrade that eliminates fuel cut. Upgraded fuel pumps, injectors, and fuel pressure regulators do nothing to avoid or eliminate fuel cut.
That being said, there are some methods (some cheap, some not) of postponing fuel cut. All the methods work on one principle: fooling the ECU into thinking there is less air entering the engine than, in fact, there is. This can be done by adding unmetered air, or by changing the sensor inputs used by the ECU to determine air mass. Of course, these methods usually mean the engines run leaner than stock.

thats all i could find

you should get a FCD by HKS

you have a talon? thats probably the reason right there...talons are for pussies..taurus's are for real men...period

Well the car's going to have to stay how it is for a while, until I can get the money for DSMLink, which is no time soon. I'll have parts ready, but won't be able to use them until the car is ready for them, so our race will have to wait a while, probably till next season.

FCD would probably not be the best option. fuel cut is a safety feature and happens for a reason. FCD would only allow you to ignore the warning signs your car is giving you rather than fixing the problem.

Eliminating fuel cut, and leaving the problems unsolved can lead very quickly to you blowing your engine up, or at least melting a piston.

Oh, sorry Dan, I thought you were trying to be serious, thanks though. PDSM, thanks, but I know all that and would be glad to get rid of my fucking 7 bolt, lol.

oh ya, i forgot about that! Well, then go right ahead and eliminate fuel cut and get your 6-bolt, haha. We can do some trial and error tuning then.
