hi guys i have an hpi .15ss motor and after about 5 mins of running the rpms go down and the engine diesw do you think it could be the glow plug
 
how hot is the engine running? does it sound like it is bogging out or does it just die? i had the .15ss and i had never had problems with it until it needed a rebuild. how many gallons has the motor had on it?

supermaxx the engine doesn't bog when i bring it in the engine isnt hot but if it idels for about 2-3 seconds it dies. Ithink its had about 2 1/2 gallons though it :read:
 
Do you have a temp gun? If so what are the temps when it dies.

Did you remove the plug and check to see that the entire coil glows bright red?

It could be several things, air leak, impropper tune, weak plug, idle too low. Or it might just be time for a rebuild, hows the compression?

Need more info to try to help.
 
NC i dont have a temp gun, the plug is bright red, the comp is good. if you need more just tell me :wasted:
