Aldo,
This sounds like a lack of fuel due to air leak, sticking pump or could be a bad Thermocouple causing an ECU commanded Shut Down.

May want to also try running the Turbine without the Fuel Solenoid to be sure that the Solenoid is not causing this condition.

Diconnect your pump from the ECU and using a "D" size flashlight battery, connect to pump and tranfer fuel from one container to another that is graduated. You should be able to transfer approx. 4 > 5 oz (or more) in 45 > 50 seconds.

If you have not run this trubine in a long time, please try running the Turbine from another fuel source. DO NOT USE the fuel source in the AIRCRAFT. I want you to confirm that you do not have an biological (ALGIE) contaminated UAT or Main Tank Filter Clunk. I have sen this many times as well. However, if your problem developed between current and active flights, it is not likely this issue.

Due you have a DATA TERMINAL for this engine ? Please provide SERIAL NO.

Looking forward to your response.
