Default got gas?

95 talon tsi awd, 510 injectors, bigger fuel filter and fuel line anda high flow fuel rail, stock fuel pump.
ok so i was driving down the interstate at about 75 and all of a sudden the car acted like i just let off the pedal completely, not gettin any fuel, but it will start up and run for about three seconds then it will once again not get any fuel to the engine and shut itself off, and the night before i had a problem w/it idleing wierd like it would hold at 1k but then it would go to liek 750 rpm every once in a while, didnt think it was anything to worry about but appearantly it was so anyways i was wondering what this sounds like to you, its most likely the fuell pump or the fuel filter but i was wanting some input before i run off and do something stupid, and if it is the pump where is it mounted on the 2g

how do you know its not getting any fuel. Could it possibly be something else like an electrical problem. But like sebba said, are you tuning with anything? Do you have any check engine light. And the fuel pump is located on the top of the fuel tank under the back seats

nothing for tuning, i just baught the car and the guy took most of the stuff he had in it out because he needed it for another project he was working on, but i am pretty sure its nothing electrical, and if it is that sux cuz i just ordered the 255 high pressure fuel pump last night maybe you guys could give me some possable reasons it would be doing this?

At least the price of a tuning device if you tune yourself...thats like 300 for an Apexi SAFC II.. and to tune it with you need a wideband o2 gauge... an thats like 250.

The problem might not be with the injectors anymore... you could have very well ****ed up something
