barely made it home

[too many toys]

i was out cruising and on my way home my truck started to act funny didnt have power and kept popping back then at a stoplight it died wnd would not restart until i turned the key completely off but still when i gave it gas it would die . i managed to pedal it home got into garage and first i checked for any codes but still only got my over boost code as i have not adjusted my rod yet but as i was checking it with the key on there was a ticking or clicking coming from what sounds like inside the intake , any clues?

If you had your ALDL pin in there to do testing still the noise you were hearing was your IAC motor. But other than that it could be a few things. When I have experienced that problem its been either the hose to my fuel pump inside the tfank or a bad ignition module. Can think off hand of anything else.

I did the bike tube test to check for vacuum leaks and found a significant one on the back of the plentom and found that the linkage pivot is where it is the worst , from other posts i have read is this my main problem . Obviously i have to replace the TB is there a good aftermarket TB available that someone has run with sucess??

search for 52mm TB upgrade. the guy will take your stock tb bore it out and add a bushing to it. this eliminates the vacuum leak from the tb shaft. also check your spark plug wires. if you have a hard start, i would suggest a IAC valve if you have a good charging system.
