    car dies/shuts off at wot??

    recently been experiencing a wot shut dwn on my 01 ss. on motor sometimes but on spray all time. car does a once in awhile die at jst a cruise or a blip and stays running. thought it was nitrous related so replaced everything and rewired it all as well. took out yesterday and it did it at wot on motor. pulled ses code and found a new and never had before code of b1000, could some or a relay added some where be messing with the vats or bcm or something? it as if u shut the key off or fuel pump, light stays on on dash and always starts back up though... frustrating anyone been here with this issue?

    I would be checking Fuel pressure then for dirty injectors. Once your confident it's not fuel then look at electrical/spark

    No. Only if you think you may have poor spark reduce your plug gap and see if your problem reduces

    Did you get it sorted?
    I would still be looking at fuel. Do you have a return line you can clamp briefly?
