You need to hook it up to a scanner, this should help point you in the right direction..If its doing it in closed loop only then it may involve one of your sensors since most of these don't come onto play until the car reaches closed loop.. My first guess would be an 02 sensor but it could be as simple as a coil , or Ignition control module malfuntioning after it warms up, but a scan may tell you where to look.....WW

something with the tune is way wrong...sounds like starving for fuel...or too much air, same thing in many ways.

Go pull some plugs and see what they can tell you. if its been lean, or rich you'll see it on the insulator.

Something is probably off in the VE table in your tune

Was it bone stock before the tune? No exhaust mods? Too little detail.

Also that is way more injector than you actually need - I assume the tune has been adjusted for that?

If you can, get a hold of a wideband. It'll tell you in a second what your problem is if it's afr related.

I notice my fuel line is about 1 inch away from my headers. do you think that it might be causing vapor lock symtom.
