My 99' 252 Boss 454 mpi will run great for about a half hour and then it just falls on its face. It never dies just starts cutting out if I let off to an idle it sounds fine. I let it idle for a couple minutes and then it will take off fine but after a few minutes it does the same thing. I have an extra holley low pres. pump added on. I checked fuel pres. while running on a garden hose, its at 40 psi.....Anyone have any ideas what is wrong?

I drained the fuel tank completely put in fresh gas and changed the filter numerous times,it (the filter) has never had anything in it I could see. Is there anyway to narrow it down to the injectors

Installed a new pickup coil and ignition module. It threw its fit in about the same amount of time. This time when I backed off the throttle it kept running bad for about 15 seconds then died. 1st time for that. I started it right back up and it was fine for about 15 or 20 minutes and then did it again. It ran bad longer this time then died. I restarted it immediantly and it ran like a charm to the ramp. Anyone know anything else I could look at or try ?

I had a simaliar issue years ago. Fought it for whole season. It ended being a chunk of crap stuck in the check valve on the tank pickup. Being that your pressure is staying up volume may be down. Next check, the screens in the injectors themself.. Pete
