Default Aem meth kit issue?

I'm running the aem v2 30-3300 meth kit in my ecoboost. Using 50/50 boost juice from snow performance.Having some issues figured someone else on here may have some incite. I did some searching with trusty Google and come to find others have had the same problem but no luck.
So the kit all hooked up runs perfectly fine when you test it. Pumps to the 2 injectors into my charge pipe and led light indicator works as it's suppose to. Gets brighter till its at full boost.

So the issue is when I'm under boost. It starts to spray then 2 to 3 seconds into sprayingIt cuts out. At the same moment the controllwr throws the red led indicator for low fluid. It does that Every time I'm under boost.

Well for starters the meth tank is full so I know it's not that. I checked all the connections and everything seems good. I then unplugged the sensor for the fluid level. At that point the controller shows the low fluid level error. I then plugged the sensor back in and the controller error for low fluid went away.

Has anyone run into this issue here and came up with a solution? I plan to empty the tank tomorrow and run water. I cant see how the sensor would go bad because it's only a test of continuity between the points.
Also plan to give aem a call to see if they have any solution on there end.
Figured I'd give it try here since they are closed right now.

AEM might (probably) have your answers. I highly doubt anyone here.

Your the first person I've seen talk about a meth kit here. Maybe AEM has a forum? Good luck and hopefully don't blow anything up.

Figured it was worth a shot. I checked the aem forum as well and came up dry. Some had the same issue but was not resolved or never posted their solution.

I'm running the kit pretty conservatively at this point 50/50 mix with 12psi for start and 25 psi full, 2 500cc injectors. Truck is running plenty fast at this point with the tunes and mods I have done so far. I used to drive a built 06 gto but Im quite impressed with these 3.5 ecoboost. Lots of things you can do to them.

Did you mount your tank above the pump? It is a gravity feed and could be starving of fluid based on your mounting location.

Or its a bad sensor/poor connection. Check the wires/pins in the plug with a mm.

I know I am no help. It is a wiring or controller problem.

I'd try the EB Mustang or Focus ST forums if you are looking for internet help. They use these kits way more than F150 guys, so the advice might be based more on real experiences.

Yeah I ended up isolating it to the switch being the issue. Everything is installed per spec. Bridged the wires together for the fluid sensor and it works fine with no issues under boost. Contacted AEM and they were more then helpful and gave me some things to try. Hopefully can get it situated shortly. I Will post up results when I have them.
