Both times i was making a right from a dead stop, got her straightened out and pegged it to the floor. All was good, tires were blazing and bam! engine off, only idiot lights. Shift into neutral and try to restart and just crankety crank crank! Pull over, put her in park, just more cranking...... Wait about 15 seconds, she roars to life immediately and off I go trying to copy what I did only to accomplish nothing but another set of long black stripes.
My first two guesses, as I can't exactly diagnose something that isn't broke is the chip (which is cleaned and duct taped down VERY well) or the fuel pump cut off switch starting to go? I made the mistake of removing the chip a year ago and not retaping it down tightly and she died three times before I could even get to the water box, so I have learned better since then, but this does feel the same. It is an instant off, kinda like my last engine in my camaro that decided to sleep with the fishes at 80 MPH, not the kinda shut down when you run out of fuel.
She is going in for a dyno on the 4th and being switched over to my xcal.
Has anyone had the same experience?
