Have a Doosan GC25E-3, serial JZ-00180. Mitsubishi G424E engine with a woodward regulator and mixer. Original complaint, engine stalling and misfiring. Retrieve ECM codes. Found code 27. Checked vacuum at intake. Had no vacuum. Removed mixer. Found bottom of the plunger broken. Replaced mixer. Test and found engine still had misfire but not stalling anymore and vacuum restored. Did tune up, plugs, cap, wires, rotor. Engine running smoothly. Returned to service. Four days later, called back out. Engine stumble???? Check issue. Found engine to stumble intermittently at idle and through RPM range. Removed air intake from mixer. Found the plunger inside the mixer opening (plunger moving down) on its own, like someone is feathering the throttle pedal. Does this through RPM range as well. Checked manifold vacuum. Found that when the issue presents itself, the vacuum drops from 17 inches to around 6 inches but then catches itself... Never stalls out. I was certain that the throttle motor was bad, so I changed it. Still same issue. Swapped throttle motor back out. Checked for codes. No hard codes stored, however when the engine stumbles, the MIL light will flash 1 time. Unplugged foot TPS, O2 sensor and ECT sensor. Issue remains. Here is where it gets interesting. If I unplug the MAP sensor the issue goes away but I then have no throttle response. Renders the throttle motor operation. Any info or help would be greatly appreciated.

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.
