Message:
ok so especially in the morning I'll be sitting at a stopligh/sign and notice my a/f meter telling me I'm rich then suddenly it will idle horribly and begin to stall. I'll throw her (00' R/T cc powerdyne blown, 53mm fastman tb, gibson catback) in park and give some gas and it continues to run but 3 times it's actually stalled out. Everything else seems fine though but this happens about once a day. I'm only running the 6lb pulley, do you think I need a by-pass valve? I'm pretty sure my fmu is functioning propery.. anyhow any ideas?

thanks guys!

figitdotcom, I don't know if your running a pressure guage on it, but if your not, try pulling the fuse on the aux punp and see how it runs (Without going into boost) If your POS FMU is not set right it could be leaking and it will spike the pressure up. I.E. rich all the time.

I hope this helps.

Powerdyne 6#, MP Headers, Transgo shit kit, MSD/BTM ignition, MAP tweak, relocated IAT, MP PCM, "409" taylor plug wires, Keith Black Pistons, 5140 I-beam rods, polished head bowls. MONEY PIT!!

hmmm sounds logical eyetrip, I'll try that this weekend. I was also going to try and replace my o2 sensors and have a look at my map and possibly go with the homebrew map/boost bypass valve. I think I'll try your idea first though, in the event it is leaking is there anything I can do about it or would I just have to buy a new fmu?.. and if that's the case should I get a powerdyne fmu or go with a vortech etc..

thanks man!

I agree sounds like the problem is in the fmu
