Fuel shut-off at boost problem

I managed to flood after I moved the car. Cleared it, slapped in new plugs (NGKs), and now I get what feels like a fuel cut-out at positive pressures. It started at anything over 0 psi, after a brief drive it gets up to 4 psi max and just dies. Just try and drive without going over 1 psi! It sux.

HELP!!! This is so stupid, it has to be something simple. Anybody figure this out before?

Disconnect the negative battery cable. Step on the brake pedal until ALL the juice is out. Wait a minute. Reconnect the negative battery cable. Start car and drive. You should be good to go. I had this happen once. Some call it "limp-home mode". I call it "pain in the *** mode".

Unbelievable. I assume I'm re-setting all the on-board electronics by doing this.

Would not have guessed. Thanks, will try right now.

Also, make sure your MAP sensor is connected. That's another common silly thing

The reset worked like a champ. Cheapest repair I ever did, and done before my drive to work!

Many thanks.
