Ok so if anyone here can help me figure out whats wrong i'd reall appreciate it. I have an 02 gt with lt's,o/r x, slp lm1's, Intake 70mm tb, plenum, tb and plenum spacers, u/d pulleys, egr delete, and some other stuff. Well the problem is that after running for a little while it starts to sputter, bog and almost die. Somnetimes it does die but fires right back up and runs fine for a while. I'm thinking maybe fuel pump. When i got the long tubes on i had to extend the factory o2 harness. Maybe thats causing the o2 sensors to read wrong and it's trowing off my a/f? I have no idea. Anyways hopefully someone has heard of this before and can give me an idea. Thanks for any help.

Well if it isn't throwing any codes, then it might be your idle air control unit going out. If its throwing codes read into that first.

yea i was kinda wondering that because if it would be running good and i tapped the gas it would drop idle revs and run kinda crazy for a minute. I'll try replacing that first. thanks dude

Well i think it was the egr delete. The people at diablosport said the predator doesn't shut off the egr switch it just keeps the mil from comming on because of it. We'll see if that works.
