It wouldn't run at all if the map was the issue.
Cold startup seems ok, then bad when in closed loop, sounds like a big vac leak or new bad o2's.
I'd get it all together put a smoke machine on it to test for vac leaks and be sure those o2's are toggling correctly.

Or just put it on a trailer and bring it on up. We're great at troubleshooting.

haha just sent ya a PM. Cool I think I'll just get it all put together and take it to ya. Let me know when you would be able to get my truck in the shop. Anyway let me know when would be a good time and I'll see what I can do.
Thanks

Vic

So heres the latest and greatest. I've looked all over the truck and cant find any thing that would cause a large vacum leak. I'm still not gonna rule that out but everything is where it needs to be and all ports that are not being used are pluged. I moved the MAF 10" down the intake pipe and now it just starts for a sec and dies. I ended up unplugging the MAF and it turns on and idles fine. The truck will stay on untill I turn it off. I have no clue what the hell is going on. I bet its something very small. LOL Anyway Let me know what you guys think or if you've had this same crap happen. I've got my cousing coming over with his scanner. Hopefuly he can figure this thing out. Either way I'm making an appointment with Nelson to have him troubl shoot this thing and give it a SD tune.
