You might want to move this post to the C6 FI section of the forum.

Do you have an engine monitoring software such as EFILive where you can actually look at the PIDs and see what it's doing when the "fail" occurs? Otherwise you're shooting in the dark.

there are a couple of trial scanning packages you can get that will give you the PID's. All you need is the OBDII hardware, and you can get that on eBay very inexpensively.
