weird acting truck
Yesterday i started up my truck let it warm up a couple min just not as long as i normaly do and went about a quarter mile up the road and my truck just shut off and didnt want to start again at first but once s it started again i had no problems wit it at all i drove about 60 miles today and it didnt act weird at all just wondering if anyone has a clue what could have happen. Was it just to cold temp was about 21 degrees and the truck wasnt plugged in or did it warm up very long 4 min at most . The truck is an 06 wit an edge juice wit attitude and airdog fuel pump intake an exhaust aand clues to what happened would be greatly appreciated would hate to have it happen again and b stuck on the side of the road thanks

well my fuel pressure gauge is bad in the truck so i hooked up a new gauge today and i only have about 2 psi going into the injection pump from the airdog (so im assuming this is my problem) but the airdog sounds like its running changed the fuel filter didnt help and tried calling airdog tech support but they are closed till monday for the holidays

this would probably explain why the truck acts up the higher the program is turned up and the more gas you get it hope it is a simple fix all my connections under the hood look like they are ok

I have a Fass pump, I am sure the airdog seperates the air from the fuel like the Fass and returns it to the tank. you may Have a leak on the pickup side pulling alot of air into the pump, Mine doesn't have a pickup pump in the tank does yours? if so you might be pulling through it causing you problems as well.

Just went through this.. fuel supply issue. Mine posted a p0148 I think. I got replies saying I had a bad cp3 this that. I changed the fuel filter and it ran fine. Still low pressure because factory lift pump croaked. I since added cat filters and a holley blue which croaked before test drive was done. Went got another and fine since With a stretched spring I have 12psi wot. I set up a bypass to keep fuel from sitting in pump spinning and it works great so far.
Moral of the story you need fuel pressure. Also I have hours and hours fabricating cat filters and modular quick change holly pumps. I have two and can swap out in let than 5 minutes.
Real Moral.. Get Airdog and watch more football.
I am in process of adding a check valve to let fuel suck past the holley until I can fix it conveniently. Total project cost including gas and time looks like national debt compared to a 499 airdog...
I usually test with a hose running back into tank filler using the 3 doollare clear plastic stuff from home depot then toss it. You can see bubbles and flow rate and it slides on the barbs easy.
If running airdog through oem filter open the drain turn on key and see if it dribbles or pisses hard. Good Luck

so its not the screen nor is it the filter or the water seperator or the was it sucking air from anywhere and pure flow's tech support never bothered to call the shop that i dropped my truck off at because i dont have anymore time to deal with it and on top of it all my car i use to get back and forth to work broke down and so now im really f**ked until my trucks fixed
