So gotta a question.When ever i power brake it or do donuts as soon as i come out of the spin or off the brakes the truck shuts off.What would cause that?

JAyers

Are you letting off the go pedal too?

Richie O

Did you ever get the low power issue fixed? I know you were scratchin your head trying to get it to run strong.

Ezra

Nope still havent figured it out yet richie.i still suspect the pump isnt turned up enough..Jayers yes its when i let of the throttle too.

Richie O

I just wondered if they are related. Do you have a fuel pressure gauge?

I think the idle setting may just be too low. When you snap your foot off the throttle, after being under load, it just stalls, like an old carbureted gasser. Make sure that it is about 850 rpm, in gear with a warm engine.

Simple fix is - Don't do that!

JAyers

That whats i thought. Ok think about it, if the tires are spinin and you just let off the pedal they are goin to stop spinin, they will actually grab traction instantly. This will inturn slow down whole entire driveline causing the engine to stall. The only way that i know of to cure it, is to just to keep your foot in it untill your tire speed is close to the trucks speed. Any auto that ive ever been in from 89+08 wether its built, stock, you name it, they all will do it lett off the go pedal at the right time.

Once you get old enough to drive, you won't see any reason for such behavior, and the problem will go away.

Ezra

Oh im old enough.lol.but its still fun.

BearKiller

Mechanically speaking, either you are momentarily starving the pump for fuel, or the sudden jerk is opening the circuit to the fuel-solenoid in a bad connection somewhere.


Think of the fuel situation as sort of a big tidal-wave that rolls in, then suddenly snaps back and disappears; make sense ??

But I would look to the electrical end of it first.

lmao I dont care who you are thats funny
