Well the problem is back again so it's back to the drawing board. I think I am going to try the Vmaxx exchange I am pretty sure that's whats causing the problem.

Smile Stalled

Yeap my 10 did the same thing, whipple, cam, ARH full exhaust, all of that stuff and Sunday at 35 mph it sounded and felt like it ran out of fuel, I just just filled the tank so that is not it. Tries to start but does not happen. Guess the question is now what?
This car has 12K on it and only 6K on the build. I am 70 years old I don't do stupid stuff, well as for as driving goes anyway.
Can't take this to a dealer because they are worthless and I don't trust them with my car.

Do you have a ported TB on your car?

I hate to say this but I am not sure at this point. This build was done by a bunch down in GA. and not very happy with some of the things that were done.
But have to say the car runs or ran very well up to this stall out, only thing I could see was it ran a little on the rich side which was good on top end but not so good in traffic. I have not pulled a code yet but soon. Any help a anyone lots of thanks

Checkin in.

Talked to Matt (FSP) and Pete both again today. Matt is willing to check it out Free of charge if you wanna roll it by sometime. Best to touch bases with him since he's been all up and down the coast helpin out and doing some destination tuning.

http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showth...&highlight=fsp

He's actually in PCB today and offered to hook it up asap if you touch bases with him. Lemme know and Pete also offered to replace the TB if that what ends up being what it is.

Here to help for whatever is needed!

Anything you need please let me know. We have all of the GM MDI/dealer level access programming also, so easy to diagnose if need be. We are only up here till Saturday though, we'll be back end of May.

I'm telling you. they have "fixed" and sent me on my way with the same problem I kept coming back for a whole month. I don't know what the service rep asked my dealer mechanics to do but they actually checked everything like an overall diagnosis and reprogrammed my car and thats how they found that defective wire that messes up the computer that stalls my car.

Well the car is still stalling worse than ever. Dealership is telling me it's my CAI and other simple bolt ons so I am going to have to demod the car so they can take another look at it. I can't get it to run more that a couple minutes without stalling.

I got the car back on Friday and they ended up replacing the ECU. So far no problems so I am keeping my fingers crossed.

They asked me if I had my car tuned (which I don't) but I thought they could tell by looking at the flash counter. If this is true then why did they have to ask me?
