02 LB7 dies on rainy days!

My engine dies like you shut it off with the key and the tach bounces up and down as you coast to a stop. It starts right back up like nothings wrong. It only does it on days with wet weather and it doesn't kick on the check engine light. It has an edge juice, AEM cold air intake, MBRP exhaust, and a BD high idle switch on it so as not to leave any info out.

There is your problem...take it off and run stock and see if problem persists.

Thanks I'll try that. If thats the problem I hate to throw away that kinda money. Is there a "chip" that is recommended over all others?

I know a guy here who has the same problem all he does is unplug the edge when it rains. But it also only rains here like 10 times a year.

honestly the better programmers are the ones that reflash the ECM. I have a TST Powermax (only works for LB7s) and it does pretty good. I may be getting rid of it in the future for EFI live. Obviously banks 6 gun would be another choice of programmer box.

If it is the edge causing the problems you can send it back into them and they will update it so hopefully it wont do it again...Contact them and talk to them about it.

Yea, I wouldn't hesitate to call Edge. I guess they have great customer service. There is a timing interferance with some of the early Edge juice units that causes just what you are saying. Give Edge a call with your model and serial #. They will reprogram it or replace it with a brand new one. A buddy of mine had the same problem and they fixed it for free. He has not seen the problem since it got updated. I've been happy with mine.

Id recommend PPE or EFI. Try to stray away from banks..over priced..
