    Engine cutting out

    Took drive today and car was cutting out at times near higher rpms.
    Any idea what could be the cause?

    Everyone is going to ask details on the car first, any mods etc? Did you check for codes? By "Cutting out" do you mean like it's not getting fuel?

    No mods, no codes, was cutting out below rev limiter, didn’t watch voltage, and cutting out like it hit rev limiter like no gas.
    Makes me think maybe I got bad gas...?

    check fuel pressure, possible bad fuel pump

    Just a guess, a Witech will probably show a code, the dash only shows limited codes.

    Took car out today and it ran fine. I ran it out of gas and then filled it up with 93 octane.
    Will continue to monitor it.
