The L died twice on the interstate, help?
Ok here is the situation....
I was driving on the interstate and it was a little warm out upper 90's, so I kicked the air on going about 60 mph's. Then 5 seconds later the truck shut off. The gauges went dead, engine service light soon came on, and the mile readout did this (-----------). So I coasted over and shut the L off. Waited 10 seconds and she started up fine and drove perfect.
Then got back on the interstate, and the L almost died again.
I don't know what the deal is...
I get on the L hard it performs great. This is just your normal interstate driving. Overdrive on and rpm's range 1900-2300.
Any help would be great?
My mods are....
JDM Silverbullet catback
JDM Electric Fan kit w/ Cobra R waterpump
PSP Cold air intake system
PSP 4lb. lower
REM Smooth intake tube
SVO Single Blade Throttle Body
Apten Ported Eaton
Apten Smooth upper intake
90 mm Mass Air
Autologic 4-way chip
Dyno tuned By Sal @ PSP
Denso Iridum 22's

I never taped it down after the Dyno tune.

That's Lesson #1 when it comes to chip tuning!
Chip - $250 +
2 Rolls of Duct Tape - $10
Never having to worry! Priceless!

I think I just need to take the computer out and tape her down good.
Thanks for the help.

I hope I'm wrong but it may not be a loose chip in that pushing it in(and taping it) will fix it. I had a similar problem and it was the chip in that its contacts were not gripping the PCM's board tightly enough. Taking the chip out and/oe replacing it with another chip 'fixed' my L but of course, the chip still had a problem..............
