This is my problem that is really getting me frustrated at the moment..please help me out
i have a d16y8 .. recently this past week its had trouble starting in the morning. I go to put the key in, i turn it to where you can hear the fuel pump turn on, then i try to crank it over.. BUT it wont, it just cranks and cranks and cranks for a good 15 seconds struggling to start, then i let go of turning the key and it starts up and idles around like 500RPM's then bounces up to around 1000RPM's. i let it sit and warm up for like 2 or 3 min then take off. When i take off in first gear and get up to around 3k- 4k it cuts out BAD, the sound that it makes is if i had 3-step.. like ba ba ba ba ba ....i shift to second and everything is fine. and i have also noticed on the highway around 65-70mph the car cuts out for literally 2 seconds then goes back to normal and everything is fine.
The only thing i could think of is that my secondary 02 sensor that hooks into the catalytic converter is bad and isn't reading correctly, making the ECU send out errors to the engine, OR it could be my in-tank fuel pump that is going bad. I have a header, test pipe and 2 1/2in pipe all the way back to an N1 muffler if that makes any difference?
PLEASE someone help me figure out what is causing this to happen..
