Well My patience has run out on my Syclone. I have changed Plugs, Rotor, Distributor set timing to 0, with Brown wire off. When I give it gas it falls on itself feels like something is holding it back. Check fuel Pressure its at 55 when idel. I have a ATR pitbull chip in it. Truck will usually die when i pull up to a light. Any suggestions would be deeply appreciated. Have spring fever and would love to drive it this weekend. Thanks again. Checked all hoses to there all fine. If I leave the brown wire disconnected I dont think the truck will die havent thoroughly tested though. I am willing to paypal someone for some guidence, As there are no qualified technicians around here :(

First things that come to mind is pull that chip out of there and put a stock one in and see if theres a difference. Also, if its a stock truck, the FP seems a bit high. Where is the idle at when its sitting?

First thing I would check is the IAC valve. Take it out and clean it also clean the throttle body and ports for the IAC.

I found one truck that had a bad turbo to intercooler hose. The inner part of the hose would collapse when vacuum was high and stall the engine.

Re: Truck Dies Randomly

Fuel pressure sounds way to high. What injectors are you running? Are you adjusting it with the vac line off?
