This one has me stumped and doesn't happen all the time.
If I accelerate fairly hard the engine shuts down for just an instant then continues on as if nothing happened. When this happens, the red light pops on the dashboard just like I turned the key off and turned it on again. The red light will go OUT an instant later, and the engine power returns to pull like a raped ape.
I verified this by driving down the road and shutting just the ignition part off with the key. When I shut off ignition the red light pops on. If I then turn the ignition back on ( but not try to start it ) the engine re-fires and the red light goes off.
I only get this on high boost ( over 12 lbs ) when accelerating quickly. If I bring up the boost slowly it never has an issue, all the way to 18 lbs if I have the nerve.
My guess is something in the wiring is being pulled by the engine torque movement. I had an issue with the injector harness plug where I could move it back and forth at idle and kill the engine. I repaired that connection and now I cannot force the problem at idle.
It is NOT a fuel related issue. Problem is in the ignition wiring somewhere. Since the red light goes out immediately after the engine looses power, it has to be torque related. Anyone know what can turn on the red light on the dash besides the key being turned out of the ignition cycle?
I bought a replacement wiring harness for the injectors, crank and cam sensors but have not installed it until I can determine exactly the problem. Guess I can get my son to ride with me while data logging and see if anything shows up.
