Its me again! I am still having problems. I have replaced: injectors, fuel pressure regulator, CTS, TPS, CPS, rear vac harness, cleaned the TB, new TB to intake gasket, several new fuel filters, valve cover gasket, refreshed grounds twice and have also done #'s 1.3.4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,25 of cruisers Renix tips. All of these have made improvements but still not out of the woods yet. It seems to run fine from a cold start but once it gets to operating temp it will develop a slight miss that progresses into a rough idle then a random stall and flooding which results in a very hard to start condition. Come back the next day and it will start back sometimes after some cranking. Turn it off and it will start right back until it warms up and the cycle continues. Could this be a MAP sensor problem?

Well yesterday the MJ decided it really liked it at the Grocery store. Luckily my brother and his family were eating pizza at the pizza joint next door. It all started when The MJ died on me as I was pulling out of the feed store and it died when i came to a stop to pull out and then it did one of those long cranking episodes. It smelled like gas and it would hit and want to start but acted like it just couldnt catch up. I cranked and cranked and it finally fired up. i drove it to Emily's work and shut it off. Emily came out side i started it no prob. We drove to grocery store and shut it off. Emily went in to the store did some shoppiing and then came out to the truck, it started up no prob. We pulled up to the stop sign and it dies and I crank and crank and then we push it back to a parking spot were i crank on it until the battery starts to fade. I am about to give up and it starts. I pull back up to the stop sign feathering the gas ever so slightly and the SOB dies again. The battery is done at this point I surrender and go eat some pizza. Basically it seems as if it is flooding randomly? sigh We have been driving it for five days with out much problem besides the heater controls not working and I thought I noticed the ac pump kicking on although it was not set to a/c? Someone mentioned fuel return line maybe leaky or clogged?? Things I have replaced: injectors, FPR, ECM, spark plugs, cap and rotor, spark plug wires, fuel filter, IACV and CPS. For details on the truck see my project thread. Any help to get it going so I don't have to trailer it home would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
