2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 6 speed engine stalls when stopping

[Kyle9611]

2001 cummins 5.9 HO 6speed truck has a weak start but starts every time push in your clutch put it in gear and start to drive down the road runs and shifts fine through all gears coming to a stop light if you hold your clutch down to attempt to stop the truck gets an erratic idle and then dies or just dies with out the erratic idle i did experience water in fuel when I bought the truck. VP44 is almost new has a phatshaft 75mm turbo fass 220 snow meth kit it's not hooked up when I bought it but was previously hooked up. Head studs and fire ringed I'm kinda new to the mechanics of a diesel but do great with gasoline engines any help would be appreciated thank you and god bless

What is your fuel pressure?

Need to put a scanner on it. Seems like you lift pump isn't getting enough fuel to the vp44 pump. Or the ECM isn't setting the idle right.
Don't how much extra power the meth would give you but just running diesel mite not lite up the turbo enough when coasting to a stop.
If you do not have them Exhaust temperature gauge and boost gauge will let you know what going on with the engine/turbo.

According to the programmer it runs about 30 psi at idle. And around 20 at WOT

It spools the turbo well I've seen about 40 psi before it starts backing power off I've got boost gauge and egt gauge

30 psi is too much. What lift pump do you have, can you adjust the psi? If so, I would turn it down to about 18 at idle. Do you know where the monitor is reading the psi? What programmer do you have?

It's a fass 220 not sure where it's reading from. I have a edge juice with attitude programmer. Also not sure if the fass is adjustable

 

[Kyle9611]

Was just able to pull my codes on the truck I've got p0216 injection pump timing and p0122 tps
