evo 6 engine cut out

[user3651]

Have just changed fro a 911 to an evo6 love the car would kill the Porsche, however I have a problem picked the car up last night and gave it some s**t , but when I really pressed hard the engine suddenly cut out (felt like it was fuel cut out) and the whole car jolted, it then was imediately ok . The car is immaculate but has not been driven hard, could it have anything to do with the cold weather??
Please help I dont want to wreck the engine.

It does sound like a fuel cut, has the car any modifications?

Could be cold weather.
Mine very rarely. But has fuel cut in the cold when its not been driven hard for a while.
Have you got a boost gauge fitted?

[user3651]

There are no mods at all and I do not have a guage fitted, the car has been very well looked after but has been driven carefully, I asked the bloke who had the car before me but he said he never really thrashed it.
How easy is it to fit guage

welcome to the site m8.boost gauges are dead easy to fit and in my opinion a necessity on evos.

Hello and welcome

Also worth checking the spark plugs , as on my old 6 I thought I was getting fuel cuts , but turned out that a couple of the plugs had gone.

Definately sounds like fuel cut to me hun, Gets worse in the cold weather.

Would recomend you getting a boost gauge too and if you want to control the fuel cut, invest in a boost controller too, so you can adjust the boost enough to prevent it fuel cutting

Thanks just had a blast, it only happened once when i was on full acc up a hill, temp was 5 outside. Does anyone know anywhere locally to me that could fit a guage and any other mods to help. I live near Redditch south of Birmingham.
Cheers Tim

Hi mate I had the same problem with my Evo6 when I first got it and it turned out to be the actuator was knackered

Might be worth checking it out.
