runs then dies
Aloha,
Maybe someone can help me out there. I have a 1989 2.8 litre mutiport fuel injected v6, The problem is it will run sometimes for a little while the just dies off. I put a new fuel pump, fuel filter, checked the injectors,checked the pressure regulator, checked for vaccum leaks, no moisture in the distributor, new wires, new plugs,new aircleaner. Very clean engine and replaced the head gasket and did a valve job about 3000 miles ago. I thought I was a pretty good mechanic but this one has got me stumped. Help!! Please
Mahalo, {Thank You}

Aloha,
I haven't checked the pressure in pounds but judging by the way the gas spurts out from the pressure valve I say it's enough. It will run for about a minute, I can rev her up to about 4 grand then she just dies off. I also replaced the ecm, and Iac valve. I'll get a pressure gauge and see how many pounds it auctually is.
Mahalo, Larry
