ok, lets hear some gueses... when i take off and try to get up to speed the engine is cutting out. worse when its cold. after its warmed up, it only really does is if i kindof get on it. no white/black smoke. seems electrical to me. what yall think? no CEL bout to bring it to the dealer i guess and give them a benjamin to plug it up to their fancy computer.... almost seems like its somethin with the fuel pump or icp senser or.......? any ideas would be greatly appreciated!:confused:
id guess its the wiring harness
known issue if i recall, they should be able to get ya fixed up pretty quick

I thought that was for the 04s.
I had the wire chaffing issues. It would go down the road and DIE. Sometimes it would start right up, sometimes it would be around 5 minutes later.

ICP sensor is known to cause those issues on 03's. Have you checked for a code? If you don't have a code then it's like Toby said--wiring harness.

check your positive and negative battery connections, and the connection on the alt. had a work truck doing the same thing and it was a bad wire from the alt. Seems the trucks will die if they lose alt current.

Is it a lazy injector? WHen it starts out in the morning cold, does it run ok, but if you get on it a little it acts like its missing? If so its a lazy injector. Very popular issue with the 03-04's

thats what ive been thinking...lazy stick or wire short.....no CEL, no codes, starts fine in the morning, no excessive smoke, while takingoff and running down the road and gettin onit, it cuts out like a miss on a gasser....and sometimes it wont do it, its just been doing it VERY frequently past few days.... also just changed the oil and no fuel in oil or anything.....if i dont find a bad wire somewhere i guess im gonna bend over at the dealer and get them to run a diagnostic on it, check icp, FP, etc......any ideas of a common place on an 03 to check the wire...also should it be pretty apparant or sneaky? haha
