Poor fuel mileage, dead pedal, CEL on and off
I’ve heard of that also. The ground wasn’t actually bolted to the fender it was screwed to the metal airbox. The paint had chipped off all around it and had a little rust so I just knocked it off

Well fingers crossed I may have found the issue. I’m still going to do the ground mod when I get time. I took the air filter out to clean it, and there is a tiny ground behind my afe airbox that was loose. I cleaned the surface and tightened it up and have driven it for 30 miles and have yet to have an issue. Hopefully that was the problem.

I’m the same way, haven’t had time to do the ground mod yet. I’m hoping it’s a loose connection somewhere. When it was in the shop and the mechanic said he found one it ran great for about 2-2.5 weeks then same issue. So I think it’s a weak connection somewhere, just have to find time to trace it all down and rewire.

Went to the parts store and got some dielectric grease this morning. Think I got all the plugs cocvered. I cycled them a few times to make sure they got covered, but still having the same issue. It actually feels like it bucking and jumping worse than it was. I'm thinking possibly a weak ground somewhere. The first time I took it to the shop the guy thought it was the APPS. he said he checked it and it checked good. I dont know what the readings were. It dodnt fix it, so I took it back and he said the was a loose connection on a ground. It ran great for about 3-4 weeks. Then the problem returned, and here we are.

Electronics arent my strong suit either. I will unplug the juice and give that a try, Its an older box but I know people have ran them for several years and not had issues.

I may have found the culprit. My wifes car acted similar a few years back with the loss of power and bucking and jumping, (no dead pedal though). Sooooooo I remembered what her issue was once we found it. I unplugged the sensor from the edge that plugs into the map on the intake and there was a small piece of corrosion on one of the prongs. I cleaned it then sprayed quite a bit of electronic cleaner on it. You can tell by the discoloration there is still corrosion on all the prongs on both sides. I have a feeling that may be the issue. It ran great for about 5 miles, seen more boost and fuel pressure was a touch higher than it has been with the issue. Still have the same symptoms. Are the factory map pigtails the same as on the edge juice? If so i will order one and splice into it and see if that cures it.

Have a 2000 5 speed 24v. Edge juice with attitude, 3.55s, 33” tires with leveling kit, fass150, getting poor mileage and not driving hard at all. Avg 13 hand calculated. Have dead pedal frequently, will last 5-10 sometimes 15 seconds then pedal will come back. CEL came off ran code p0237 low voltage. Checked some grounds, ran great for 2 weeks. Dead pedal came back no CEL. Changed map sensor still no help. Went over grounds again all look good. Truck has new batteries and all new terminals within past 6 months.
