If you are seeking similar performance with a summer tire make sure that you get a V rated winter tire. H won't cut it.....they have the proverbial mushiness to them. Been running winter tires for 7 years now. Unfortunately, Bridgestone does not make a V rated tire in the 215/45 size. I have opted for the Perelli and not too impressed with the traction from a standstill on dry pavement. They are decent in snow but not as good as Blizzak.

so this has been happening a lot to me latly when I come to a light or stop sign or whatever engine just shuts off any ideas?

bluess26

Vacuum leak maybe. Recently mess with any of those lines or the intake?

Any CELs?

Sounds like mine, I did have a cracked vac hose and one clamp wasn't sealing..however that did not fix the problem..around 3k rpms the car bogs or shuts down..next up is checking the fuel pressure at 3k rpms..hoping I have an answer soon as the car is nearly impossible to drive

bluess26

I didn't mess with any lines or the intake and no cels

bluess26

it only does the not boosting thing ounce and awile and for some weird reason seems to do it more when its below half a tank idk if that has anything to do with it. but the shuting off thing is happening alot

Definitely signs and red flags of vaccum leak. If Theres a leak it'll bog and try and shut off cause air is escaping.

Smoke test it. Check it up YouTube on how to do a smoke test. Super easy. Just gotta find the vaccum lines. If I was familiar with an lsj engine bay I'd tell you exactly what line it is but I have no idea. Could look it up or someone probably knows where it is at on an lsj.

ok I will do that thanks man for the info what do you think about maybe dirty throttle body?

Before jumping to the TB even though I dont see that being the problem, I'd get it smoke tested first. That's gonna be your best bet. If it was your tb you would notice a ton of weird movements and driviabilty of the overall car would suck. It just wouldn't be when coming to a stop or when you give it gas.

ok cool ill do that thanks

pinkss

Mine were visible to eye..mine started likee once in awhile clutch in car would stall whie stopped and got progrrssively wo. I took it out aftrt they were fixed and it made no difference. Hopefully yours isnt as bad!

bluess26

yea mine doesn't act up that bad

BriantheLion26

hit vac lines with brake clean. If it has a leak it will rev up when you hit the leak with brake clean.

bluess26

o arite sounds like a good idea so with the car running just spray the vac lines . this sounds dumb but how many vac lines are there?

Wert842

Lol. The brake cleeeeen method definitely works too. Forgot all about doing that. We keep a smoke machine with a fine tip around in the garage for vac testing. That's how I normally do it.

There are only a few vacuum lines on the LSJ. Just a visual check for cracks (especially around the port nipples) would indicate an issue. Also, if you touch any of them and get some black rubber filth on your fingers the vacuum line needs replaced. Some common lines would be off of the by pass valve on the supercharger, vacuum line to the purge solenoid, and he vacuum line running off of the intake manifold under the fuel rail cover.
