Default problem went away, then came back

ok, several of you guys have read over my previous post's about all the problems i've had. well, the last problem i had was when i was wot in 3rd gear (sometimes) the car would go into limp mode. Now i though i might have found out what the issue was, but guess not. I thought the car was going into limp mode, but not sure why it was doing it. it only started happening when the car was less than 1/4 tank of gas, maybe a little more, i would fill up and it wouldn't do it. today it did it when i had little less than a half tank of gas. Has anyone ever heard of going into limp mode because of not enough fuel being pumped ? could this be a FMU issue ? i had an issue with my aux fuel pump hose coming out a few weeks ago, guess too much pressure, not it seems that this happens when i dont get enough pressure ? btw, i don't have a fuel pressure gauge.

I have no idea what your problem is, but if your FMU turns out to have gone bad, I have a brand new never used vortech FMU. Let me know if you need it.

Have you had this car tunned? Pull your plugs and tell me how they look. My car was doing this and I leaned it out a bit and my problem is gone.
