Okay, so here is a quick overview: I did an 8.1 swap Into my buggy, I have had my computer reprogrammed to take off emissions, and vats. I still have the two front o2 sensors, and two knock sensors. I am running a turbo 400 transmission. And it is drive by cable.

Now the problem:

It will start just fine but only run for 3 to 4 seconds and then shuts off. Backfires big time when you restart it.
It does not throw any codes.
It will run off of starting fluid.
The fuel pressure is up around 70
The pump cuts off and on like it’s suppose to

I am guessing it’s the injector pulse cutting off, how do I fix that or find out what’s causing that?

Thank you.

Hello,

Did you have the PCM and the ignition key (anti-theft) synchronized together?

Thanks,
Alex

The guy that’s programmed it said he disabled it, whatever that entails. He knew it was going in my buggy and not in the Avalanche it came out of.

I’m not sure if I had to push yes or no so that you would know that I responded. Sorry if I wasn’t suppose to, this is my first time using 2carpros
