Default delteq direct

Had a somewhat successful installation sunday drove for a whole two days now it runs for about 5 mins then stumbles and stalls. Checked the plugs, wire connections, grounds. What else to check?

Have you checked the fuel pressure? Also have you changed the fuel filter? Coil could also be bad, but normally that isn't noticed until higher rpm.

When my O2 sensors went bad, the car ran fine for the first 5 minutes or so. But that was just until the engine got heat in it, then it went freaking nuts. The car never stalled on me, though I thought it was going to several times. Check the 02's.

I dont think its a fuel issue cause it runs for a few minutes perfect then it starts searching for an idle and it gets worse and worse til it dies if it was fuel I think it would just stall out right?

your opti sensor is probably bad I had the same problem, changed the opti and it was fine... til the head gasket went ... the wires do suck but they arent going to make the car stall
