After trouble shooting the system, it turn out to be my fuel injector.  I 
pick it up from Southeast Fuel Systems today and the problem was the bellows 
assembly.  I bought this servo when I had my engine overhauled.  The servo 
was overhauled by a company in Alabama, not sure the name, but they used a 
few after market PMA parts and Bill from Southeast seems to think that was 
the problem.  The bellows assembly was stainless, instead of brass/berillum 
and I had excessive wear on a spacer.
Just glad it happen a 600 ft in the pattern.  My biggest concern was the lack 
of warning of the impending failure and the fact that I could not catch the 
problem on any of my inspections.
I appreciate the help and use most of the ideals to trouble shoot the 
problem.
