Hey guys,
When I start up my Soarer it will turnover and the engine will sit and idle for a little while then the revs drop below 500 and it starts coughing and shuddering before it dies. Any suggestions as to what the problem might be?
Thanks

Sounds like the fuel pump ecu to me. Give it 12volts through the check connector and see if it runs

Yep, sounds like a fuel issue. Try the FP ecu bypass (well documented) and see if it helps. Next change the filter (should be done fairly regularly anyway) If that fails, then maybe the fuel pump, or the main ECU needs a workover.
