Ok so I got my built gsr running and its runnin good and pulls hard. However
randomly my tach will go ape shit then my car will start sputtering and barley running. Also ifi keep driving it all sputtering like that a del appears. I believe its cel 1. What is causing this? I also notice this starting to happen when I try to hit vtec. And if it matters my cluster is messed my speedo don't even work.

for Vtak to pop you needs..
oil
working solenoid
ECU with proper maps/timing
working speed sensor
working tachometer/speedometer
the problem is most likely your cluster. if not, you can get a VSS on ebay for like $20 that work great

That's happened to me before sounds like a STI when it happens. lol.
