I have an incredibly frustrating issue and hoping someone has experienced the same.

Motor will start and run fine, get it to running rpms 5000+ will go and will randomly shutdown. ( I went 9 miles before it did it yesterday.) Sometime buck, sometimes shuts down. have been able to get it restarted, but that ends the day usually. It has done it pretty consistently.

I changed the main fuel pump, MAP sensor, ran on aux tank. A member had mentioned he had an issue similar and had clogged/dirty injectors. I guess thats my next thing to try. I dont get any warning beeps or idiot lights. I am open to any suggestions

1998 Suzuki df70 dying out at speedl

I have a 1998 DF70 starts and idles perfectly, cool pisser. The issue I have is it will just randomly die out while at speed/upper RPMS. Some days I can run it under 500 RPM and I can use it as much as I want no issues. My last run I did 9 miles of a 10 mile trip and it just died. It will usually restart. Sometimes right away, sometimes it takes a bit. I changed the primary fuel pump, my boat guy feels its electrical and not fuel. I have ran on a different tank with non ethanol fuel only.

Sometimes it bucks and sometimes it will just die. Is there a way to reset the ECM? Temp sensor? IAC valve? Any ideas would be appreciated.

thanks!

monitor the fuel pressures to see what they are doing when problem shows up

not sure on a Suzuki, but i am sure a pressure gauge and vacuum gauge for the pick up pumps and pressure on rail pressure if it is a fuel injected
