I have a Cat GP40K with a Vortec V6 engine in it that would not idle. We replaced throttle body, Mass air flow sensor and the accelerator pedal sensor. The engine will now start for a few seconds, but hunts for idle, then dies out. We can remove the fuel supply hose at the mixer and hold it a away from the fitting about 1/4" and it will run. It dies out as soon as we intsall it. There are no codes.

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
