Hey Guys,
I am looking for some help with a problem I'm having. I've only ran the car 20 miles since my motor rebuild and today the car randomly started running super lean on my wideband. Car felt like it was misfiring so I popped it in neutral and the car stalled.
Popped the hood and noticed my fuel pressure gauge on my aeromotive fuel pressure regulator was maxed out.
The car wouldn't start... Then after about 10 minutes of sitting it started. I drove home very slow but it continued to spike lean on and off. (I was only about a 1/4 mile from home).
Just to give you some background: I purchased the car out of state and it turned out to have been build by someone who did a hack job. I rebuilt the motor then had my tranny blow a few miles later. Had it built by Jacks.
My car has:
6 Bolt swap with a stroker
2150cc FIC injectors
Walbro 255 (I have a 450 that is on my list to install shortly)
Stainless sending and return lines
Aeromotive Fuel pressure regulator
Replaced my Fuelab fuel filter when I rebuilt the motor... It was all gummed up
This issue is something that has happened since the rebuild... Like I say I've only put about 20 miles on the new motor. My old wideband wasn't working right so I just replaced it with an Autometer Wideband. Now I could see the car leaning out and I can feel it loosing power.
Any help with troubleshooting is greatly appreciated. This car has given me a lot of trouble but I'm determined to get it running 100%
