Fuel Cut only in 4th and 5th
I picked up a 97sti on saturday, drove it hard on the test drive in 1st, 2nd & 3rd and all was well. Popped out last night for a little run and when accellerating hard in 4th and 5th I was hitting the fuel cut. I've not got a boost gauge in the car at the moment so i can'tsay what it's hitting in the lower gears, but any ideas why I'd only be hitting fuel cut in 4th and 5th and not every gear?
There's a reasonable amount of history with the car since it's been in the UK and there's not a lot in the way of engine mods. Cat back 3" system, zero sports solid intake pipe with an apexi induction kit and a voltage stabilisor kit.
It's taking all the joy out of being back in an Impreza again at the moment. Sticking to 3k revs is a bit boring
Cheers,
Matt.

I'm getting the same in my car (1996 import) fine in 1st,2nd,3rd even 4th BUT when i move into 5th say on the motorway doing around 70 - 80 and floor it i get fuel cut. My car has a dawes device set around 1 bar but the z4 ecu fuel cuts around 1.05??
I thought with the dawes it would maintain the same boost level in ALL gears obviously not.

OVER BOOSTING,
i have been getting this. my issue with my my97sti was the wastegate solinoid.
and the reason in 4th and 5th is because there is more of a load and psi is higher
