[QUOTE="64T-bolt, post: 7702161, member: 50727"] i bought my '03 a few months back and had only driven it on a test drive then. .it ran great. today i thought i would take it for the first time as it was nice out (48 degrees f). The only thing i have done since i brought it home was add a LFP intercooler tank and a canton overflow as i had them laying around collecting dust. . was cruising fine on the open road (operating temp) and thought i would lay into her a bit. in 3rd gear at 5500 rpm and about 17psi (kb 2.2) it bucked/missed pretty violently so i let off and kept cruising, which it did fine. i decided to get on it again to duplicate and it started bucking again so i turned around and headed for home. A mile later (bucking like shit) the factory temp gauge begin to climb and when it hit the "H" i shut it down. This canton tank has a vent on the cap (unlike the factory tank) and it was puking all over. trailered it home. got home, pulled the plugs (look fine), oil is clean, coolant is clean etc. cooled it off and it sounds fine and revs cleanly (no smoke or bucking) in neutral, so i dont think anything is hurt but i am wondering why it would buck like that and then overheat. . ? Was it perhaps overheated before the gauge indicated it and this caused the bucking? any ideas. . ? I'm not new to blown 32v's but am new to terminators w/ twin screws. felt a little more violent than spark blowout. . [/QUOTE]
