So right after getting gas this morning I went to hop on the freeway and my car stalled on theon ramp and wont start back up. It cranks fine amd there are no codes on the car. This was literally a half mile after filling up my tank with 91. Tried uploading my tune again and still no start. Any Iideas?

I would start pulling plugs to see if you have a more serious problem.

Plugs don't even have a thousand miles on them yet.

Yeah I have a bap. Fuse in the bap was fine and all wires are connected. I wasn't flooring it or anything, no smoke in exhaust. Full crank still and it hasn't thrown any codes like it did when the maf went out.

Ah I see. I'll know more in the morning when I get the car back home. But it was running smooth before it died, no smoke or sputtering and I hadn't gone more than 50 percent throttle all day lol. Ill pull them though and check for oil on the plugs.

Yeah, when I blew my engine there was no smoke or sputtering. It just shut off. Hopefully thats not the case for you though.

I would check the factory fuse for the fuel pumps. Iirc it's fuse #41 came with a factory 15amp but should have been replaced with a 30amp when boost a pump was installed

You were just driving and it shut off randomly? Fuck... If that's the case I'm replacing the motor and you'll see my blower setup in the classifieds. I'm getting tired of this thing giving me issues every other week. Just had the maf go out earlier this month.

Hoping it's just this. Knowing my luck the whole pump is bad or worse. I replaced the fuse when I put on the bap but I couldve swore it went from 10 to 15. I don't remember buying a 30amp fuse.

Yeah. But we have two completely different builds and possible causes of failure.

Had this happen once, it ended up being water in the gas tank, courtesy of the gas station I just filled up at. wasn't raining at the time was it? Just grasping at straws.
