I’m going out of my mind and running out of money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here’s the deal. I have a 1998 V6 3.8 mustang with the following up grades.

• Full Mac exhaust w/ out cats. It has eliminators that actually work.
• 8.8 rear-end w/ 3:55. Original was 7.5 w/2:73
• B&M short throw shifter
• 155 fusion fuel pump
• 42lbs injectors
• Vortech V1 supercharger running @ 3.5-4 lbs of boost
• super chip

I originally purchased the car w/ the exhaust system and a cold air intake.
I added the supercharger and the ass-end. The car ran well, but would cut out when the speedo hit 115mph and with the gearing it was more like 90mph. So I added the chip to override the limiter. All this was done with in a month’s time so it is hard for me to pinpoint what it was that started to make the car run bad.
It started out that when I would push the clutch in the RPM’s would drop and the car would just stall out if I didn’t feather the gas, especially at stop signs. And sometimes not even that would keep it going. Then I got a check engine light for a rich in both banks. I took the car to 3 different shops and all told me that something was up with the computer They couldn’t say what, just that it wasn’t working like it should (BTW it’s a California emissions comp).. I call the shop that I purchased the chip from in Batavia NY and explained what was happening. They said to bring in on down and they could fix it. That’s when the 42lbs injectors and the 155 fuel pump were installed. They put the car on the Dino and told me everything was fine now, except my computer was running slow. (Is this possible?).
I had the check engine light back on before I even got home. With all said and done that was about $1,500 for nothing. The car runs better but will still stall out if I get on the gas and then push the clutch in. I’m also still getting the check engine light as well so I have to mess around just to get it to pass inspection.
I’ve drove the car 4 times in the last two year and I’m to the point where I’m just going to take everything off and sell the stuff and the car. If I had known I would have left the car alone.
Have anyone ever had this kind of problem or has any suggestion that may be of help?
I’m sure I’m leaving a lot out so if you have any question please ask. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

you might try removing the chip& get a hold of a tuner that you canset speed limiter and calabrate your computer as for the check eng. light it could be a vacuum leak
