    If the engine is momentarily shutting down with no cel, it sounds like an ECM power issue. Replacing the fuse holders and wires to the ECM is way less work than dropping a tranny. Try wiggling the wire harness on high idle, or just go to Detroit and get the terminals for the power plug that goes into the ECM, swap out the newly run wires, and that hopefully fixes your issue.

    Just remembered that the fuel pump is leaking on seal a bit after changing the air compressor, and all that oil drops on the ecm. Might be a good idea with the ecm connectors and wires. Thank you, will try that. Let you know what did and if problem solved.

    it's a voltage issue. check all your connections at the battery box. also change the bushings on the bolts holding the ecm to the engine block. while there make sure no nuts or washers or loose bolts have fallen and lodged in between the ecm and engine. that can create a ground.

    Low voltage input pressure sensor had a bolt loose. Tighten it and everything is good now!
    Thanks for help anyway.
