    Hi All, need a little help with my truck. It was acting up on the way home today, fuel ratio gauge was bouncing from rich to lean and it stalled out on me several times. Every time it stalled it was running rich, so I think its just flooded now. No CE codes yet, just stalled and died at the end of my driveway. Fuel pressure gauge shows 41-42 PSI, so I don't think it's the fuel pump or filter...

    I rewired my MAF extension to my URD CAI for the third time this past week and it's been running great until today. I have the CAI, and MAF Calibrator both and the wiring is all solid and soldered / heat-shrinked up. It was running rich before the rewire and giving CE codes P0172, P0175, P0101 and P0420 which did not come back after I rewired and cleared them.

    I have a couple of ideas to try once it's not blazing hot and my truck cools down...

    Check wiring...again
    Replace URD CAI with stock filter and remove MAF Cal,which would mean rewiring again
    Replace URD Y-Pipe and O2 Simulator with stock Y-Pipe

    HALP!! :(

    I'd rather not fight that fight with the work I've done to the truck. If I broke it, I can fix it.

    Sooo...didn't have any trouble codes, but had 3 pending trouble codes, P0171, P0174 and P0101...vaccuum leak. I popped the hood to see if I could find an obvious leak...found it!!

    There's your problem :D

    Front mount came loose and it wiggled out of the hose clamp.

    Put a new nut on it with loctite, wrapped my MAF extension in corrugated tubing and added a zip tie around that mount to keep it in it's place. My luck sucks...
