Do you have anyway to monitor vitals such as fuel pressure, ficm voltage? Have you drained your water seperator and checked fuel filters?? Even though you just had them changed.

Its going to be real hard to figure things out without some readings. Might want to run to autozone or somewhere and pick you up a scangauge 2. Only like 150 bucks or something.

well then IDK what your plans are to fix if you want to get a SGII or whatnot

Think about it how you want to attack it

You can get a SGII or I can bring one dont matter to me

Think about it and PM me your Phone# I will check my PM in the AM and give ya a Call and decide the best way to address this

But I can come to Provo

Sounds like a wire chaffing issue to me. Sounds as if the pcm is resetting. I would look around the gpcm and around the ficm and ccv area for wire chaffing.
