Installed MSD Blaster 2 Coil, starts up fine, but now will randomly shut off, I also have a Lindsey racing boost enhancer, but when the car shut off I was barely in boost, which removed my suspicions of overboost. After a couple of times it seemed that when when the car was in gear and going downhill or coasting, no throttle, it would shut off. Along with the random shut-offs was significanlty loud backfiring, note I have no cat either.
Not sure if if I screwed anything up, when I got the coil, I had disconnected the old one, when I put the new one on I instinctivly without thinking put the black wire on the neg side and the green wire on the positive side. Well after 3 miles and a no-start after parking and a checking of all my fuses I noticed it was reversed. I corrected it and disconnected the neg terminal on my battery for a few minutes she fired right up and drove perfectly. The first paragraphs instances took place the day after. I'm really stumped, I thought it might have been the coil but it ran perfect that same day. Also the MSD coil is a little smaller than factory so I used some silicone vacuum hose as a spacer and tightend it down, it's not a sturdy as the stock one but it doesnt rattle. And if this info helps I've got an Optima red top gel batt, bosch cap and rotor, msd wires and bosch super 2's, fuel pressure gauge, boost enhancer, no cat. My factory computer is probably so confused.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I really want to attend the rally this Sunday.
