Good eve,

The alternator is at 14.10 volts running. When it starts to stall it goes down to 13.04 after the stumble happens. Not before. Good.
2.51 short-term fuel trims # 1 upstream. Short-term fuel trims negative 51 downstream.
Thank you, David

Hi,

The negative 51 indicates the computer is trying to lean the fuel mixture. On your scanner, does that indicate -51%?

Let me know.

David, if the fuel pressure was consistent, you likely have a leaking fuel injector. When you checked the fuel pressure, how quickly did the pressure drop off when you turned the key off?

Let me know,

Hi Joe,

The pressure dropped off slowly when I turned the key off. I replaced all four injectors and still had the same problem. Maybe computer or wiring?

Hi,

If everything checks out good, it has to be a wiring issue or PCM. Check the wiring at the coils, PCM, and anything that could affect the engine. With metal connectors, heat causes them to expand. Maybe you are losing a good connection. However, I would think that would set a code.

When the engine is warm, start wiggling wires around the PCM, coils, and injectors and see if anything changes. Also, I know the crank sensor is new but double-check that connection.

Let me know.
