Re: Bogging and dies

Check fuel pressure under some load as well, and see if it drops. When demand rises, the pump should be keeping up. If the pressured drops, then you might have a restriction, bad reg, or issue with the pump.

And as always, check for vacuum and exhaust leaks on any new swap. The ECM can account for a pretty decent leak on either side at idle, but under load from the trans sometimes they will bog. If your not running a full exhaust, then be aware that the o2's might be seeing clean air and throwing your trims way off without triggering codes.

Is this a stock engine, or is there motor work involved. If its cammed, you might need your tuner to bump up the load correction on the idle.
