HI all! I have a problem and need some suggestions! I tapped the wire on my comp today and sometimes on 5x5 it feels like the power comes on very late (Stock hp untill about2400 rpm)and alot less than there should be. (no smoke at all) I noticed it coming back home from town. I got on it good at the light in town and it worked great! 2nd gear rolling start and it smoked pretty good in all gears with great acceleration! Then I got back on it about ten minutes later in fifth at about 55 mph and nothing. Tried accelerating a few more times before I got home with the same result. I got home at checked my wire conn. Pulled on it (vp conn) and it was tight. (I soldered the wire on the pump for a good connection). I did use a spade conn. to add the wire needed to get from the harrness supplied by edge to the Injection pump wire. I soldered them on the wire though and heat shrinked them when I was done so I thought that would provide a good enough connection. At least I thought so?

I took the truck out for another drive after I checked everything and on 5x5 it still fell on its face at a rolling start in 2nd gear. No smoke when I stompted on it and no accelleration. It kind of felt like the comp was messing up again. this is my 2nd one.

The first one would just turn itself off while I was driving. I sent it back to edge and they sent me a new one, that was in about july. I've been running it in ez mode since then with no problems.

Well Anyway, I put it back in 1x5 and I got my acceleration back, it smoked some when I stomped on it too. I worked my back up through the levels back to 5x5 and now it works fine? :confused: I played with it for another 15 min by slowing down and accelerating, mean while moving through the levels trying to get it to mess up again and it works fine now. :confused:

The only things I can think of are

1. the vp44 is dying :{

2. the comp is on the fritz again.

3. or maybe the apps.

Oh yeah, fuel psi never drops below 7 psi at wot so I don't think thats it. Checked for codes twice and nothing. Sorry about the long post but what do you guys think? Thanks! Mike
 
Well it sounds as thou it is working properly know right :confused:



If so enjoy, and let us know if you experience any other troubles.



FWIW I would go thru and recheck all connections and connectors ;)
