thanks guys... Still having the problem. it starts great after 15 or twenty minutes. and runs strong to 120 and then in a matter of seconds it spits and shutters and just dies. I re-did my electrical in my engine compartment and cleaned that all up ( I am new at this so i am sure that it is not absolutely perfect but i did an ok job) I checked my fuel pressure when running and i had a solid 30 psi to the fuel rail. I'm going to do my valves today (if i can squeeze it in) because one sounds loose. we are thinking that it is electrical either shutting off the fuel pump or something else like the injectors. but we dont have any great ideas. a few questions
Kwals~ thats an interesting thought. but that doesn't exactly fit my problem. because she really runs great all the way up to about 120 then in about 20 seconds she runs rough and dies. but thanks and i will look into it.
Scott~ i will try grounding my temp sensor and see if that shuts off the engine. The double relay (by the battery right?) seems fine. I check it all the time because i have a nasty habit of knocking that off with my arm. thanks those are good ideas. anyways thats where i am at. you guys are great... talk soon
eric
