Thread: engine dies after warm up

  1. #1

    engine dies after warm up

    I swapped in a 5.3 in my obs

    After the engine begins to warm up it cuts off
    I dont have the exhaust hooked up yet still with open headers

    I get a code for both oxygens sensors (lean conditon)

    Is it cutting off because the o2 sensors cant get a good read of the exhuast stream or I have another issue?

    get the front 02 sensors installed. sounds like the motor is going into closed loop and the 02 sensors are telling the engine to throw fuel at it until it dies rich.

    old mod list: H/C/I/N/E/G 408
    new mod list: 5.3, gears/posi, mufler and tune : (
