Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) 02 vp oddity

[VHimes]

Well here is another vp44 topic.



02 manual 80k stock truck

has had one vp, lift pump, and ecm prior to me getting it.



I got it it would hardly come off idle 1689, 0216 and 4psi idle form transfer pump. I got a new vp44 and a raptor 150 put on it and mostly fine. what it does now during quick acceleration (snap throttle at idle even) soon as it gets to 1500 rpm until 1800 it stumbles blows smoke then clears up no codes..... the pump people swear the pump is good and the stand wouldnt let it go if it werent. the timing key is good.

Find a buddy with a 98. 5 - 02 manual transmission truck that has no symptoms. Swap his APPS (aluminum mount and all) onto your truck. If symptoms disappear then pm timbo here on TDR and order a new aftermarket APPS. If the symptoms stay then it is most likely not the APPS.

Godspeed,
Trent
