Umm....Something happen, engine died

So I had just finished installing a test pipe and a O2 fix. Let the car warm up, made sure there was no CEL. Went for a test drive, after the temp go to operarating point, I boosted once. Then i boosted again. The thrid time I boosted, my car just died.

No loose IC piping and nothing I can see.

The only mods are
walbro
MBC (set at modest 21)
test pipe

The ECU is running the stock ROM right now.

Any ideas??

Check:

- Pinched o2 wires and short
- Check fuses

Checked fuses

I think pinched O2 wire and/or a short, would just give a CEL, but in theory, the car would still run/start.

The short according to previous posts has KO'ed the fuse to the ECU and thus prevented the car from starting let alone running

if you didnt turn your MBC down after installing you test pipe, you probly over boosted, as there is less back pressure. It probly blew an I/C pipe off that may not be immediatly noticeable, as the I/C hoses usually stay butted up against where they are supposed to be, just not tight with clamps.

Could have also been the LICP, be sure to check that as well

rear o2 would not cause vehicle to die...just a cell.

Does the car crank? How'd it die? Did it struggle or just power down?

Are you getting crank or nothing at all when you turn the key?

I didnt install a TBE, I installed a test pipe only.

I was watchin the boost gauge, it was 20-21 lbs

Checked all IC piping very thoughly, becuase I've had IC piping blew off before.
