Got the turbo installed over the week. Now I'm at the parking lot in the mountains and can't get it to run for more than 10-20 seconds.

Adjusted TPS to .684 closed, 3.5 open.

Leaned the fuel trim down to make it run, seems to braap well when running but just shuts off like a kill switch. Fires back up no problem.

I had mine quit on me a few times like this. I leaned it out with the pod 300 to get it to run up in the mountain. BUT randomly it stopped running. Towed it back home, wouldn't start on the trailer, dragged it into the shop, and it fired up.

My best guess is that I had some wires pulled to tight. I disassembled everything, dialectic grease on every connecting, and secured all the wiring with a little bit more slack towards the ecm/ pc5. I haven't had an issue since, but have not had a ton of run time on it yet either.

Also make sure it's not your throttle safety switch shutting you down.
