Problem with car running please read and let me know what you thinks it could be...

Ok i was driving home today and the car started running really ruff out of th eblue and i have yet to put any new mods on the car in a long time. Next thing i know the car stalled out a few times then finally while i was driving the car just shut off and wouldnt start. I waited a few minutes and the car started again i preceeded to my house where it stalled again as i was pulling in. At first it seemed mayube it was not getting fuel? I checked both the stock pump and the oem pump both working great and i checked the wiring and the fuses all is well. Then i put it all back together after sitting for 2 hrs and sure enough it starts and runs great for 2-3 minutes then cuts out again. I then try to start it again with no luck wait another 2 minutes and its starts up for a minute and then again shuts off.


Any ideas would be great!

sounds like some electronics malfunctioning once they get hot/reach operating temperature.

It's hard to tell your level of mods (running two fuel pumps ????), you don't by chance have a yr. old HKS DLSII hooked up do you?

I would also look for a vaccuum leak , like a blown off intercooler pipe.

Onetime my BOV was loose and it took me forever to realize that that was the problem, i must of looked over the intercooler pipes like 20times before i found it. You may want to check it.

Are you tuned for the mods you have? If not its the intake , put the stocker back on and see..

Sounds like the car is flooding out as it gets warm. Did you check the regulator and the lines around the fuel rail. Just wondering if something went bad and is flooding the car out. I agree with above, check the plugs to verify.

Ok guys i GOT it!! Narrowed it down and this is the anwser CAM POSITION SENSOR best 45-65 bucks spent depending on where you get it. Its the sensor plugged into the head that is right in front of where the stock divertor is i guess i bumped it and cracked it a little and this is what happened due to it.... The car is perfect now thats its replaced.
