    stalling problem

    I,ve got a 02 3100 Malibu, blower , intercooler headers ported heads and a few other odds and ends, my problem, I can drive a few miles , stop a couple minutes, it will start right up, as soon as I put it in gear and try to move it will stall, I got to really crank it a lot to get it to start , because it is loaded with raw gas, black smoke out the tail pipe, can smell raw gas, and it will miss really bad until it gets cleaned out, it will then run normal for up to a week before it happens again can someone give me a idea what causes that problem. thanks

    Maybe the FPR is leaking and causing it to flood sometimes????

    Kinda hard to say, kinda just guessing here.
    2016 Silverado CCSB 5.3/6L80e, not as slow but still heavy.

    If you don't post your tune and logs when you have questions you aren't helping yourself.

    I got a fpr of ebay, when I checked the pressure it only had 40 lb, the factory saids 52-58 for a 02 3100 Malibu, when I tried to drive it, had the same problem as posted earlier, only a lot worse, the original fpr had 52 lb, does that mean it meeds more than 52 lb to work correctly.
