Maybe not a fuel issue but a faulty ignition coilpack... or loose connection? Not sure about the viper but I've seen then go in and out before failing completely....
I have a 98 gts that has the same problem.
I did a fuel pressure test and it bounces from 40 to 80 when the motor runs like crap.i ordered a pump off a parts website but its the wrong one. going to Dodge tomorrow to order the right one. VCA member get a discount so its only 730.00

...we agreed that having a scantool ready in the viper... I have one picked out...
another thought. If this is a faulty sensor or sensor connection i would like to Eliminate a few and focus on the likely ones. Tomorrow im planning on starting her up and going around the engine with my buddy and jiggling every electrical connection & sensor that we can reach in hope of Triggering the problem.
as i said befor, when the problem occures i can push the clutch in and rev her all the way up. This tells me that the TPS Throttle Position Sensor is working ok., Make sense?
(i will be checking the voltage to see if it is within spec range as a doublecheck)
Im also thinking No on the O2sensors since my very intermittent symptoms dont seem to line up (but i will check the voltage and speed of switching when i plug in a scanner to doublecheck)
They can get gummed up with metal particals on the magnetic pick up after time.
get it?
Tom,
yea but since the prob only happens every 200miles or so, switching parts one at a time with someone would be a lengthy process...
When OFF the oild flows and dripps off which might explain why when the prob happens if i shut down and let sit for awhile she starts back up fine. So if this Theory is true, then switching to ANY fresh oil would clear it up.
get it?
I had a 97 GTS what felt the same way. We chased it with a lot of expensive parts like sensors, throttle body, plugs, and wires. Just before throwing our hands up we decided to go ahead and replaced the perfectly good old battery we had tested. Problem solved.
