Whats up guys a few times when shifting into 3rd wot there is a dead spot for a sec, but tonight it was like really bad, soon as I shift third and gas it, it was going nowhere for about 2-3 sec and kinda sounded like backfiring.. any input??

 

i have this but im a 2.2l LAP. no backfiring just the dead spot

 

Sorry whats the 2.2 lap? And bump anyone have info on this?

 

Actually I know what that is.. its a little different than an lnf lol.....

 

maybe fuel cut? or bypass valve didnt close all the way?

Just guessing, dont bash me..

 

were you NLS'ing? maybe you were a lil slow. I have had a similar "problem" a couple of times, sometimes from 1st to 2nd gear and sometimes from 2nd to 3rd, but I just assumed I was messing up lol.

 

Was TC and or ESC on? I get this sometimes on a highway ramp when I shift down to 3 and hammer it. I think it is the waste gate opening, does the exhaust sound louder when this happens?

 

Were you at 7k in 2nd before hitting 3rd? Shift sooner maybe?

 

well esc and tc was off, the exhaust kinds sounded broken up, just like gargleing...and I was spinning thru 2nd and banged third.

 

And no I wasn't nls lol

 

Sounds like misfires to me...

Almost like the same situation if you were to try to nls when the engine was too cold.

I'm just spitballing here.

 

It only did it bad once, last night

And I dont have any cels or anything

 

And I dont have any cels or anything

 

1 - You were spinning when you shifted
2 - You just tapped the limiter when you shifted
3 - You shifted a tad too slow(nls)

These will cause a misfire. You hear popcorn exhaust note with a brief loss of power. Usually clears it self in a second or two. Sometimes it will blink the engine light at you and you have to let off for a second to let it settle

 

Hmm. I wanna cheack if I have any codes

 

you probly have pending misfire codes. LOL but what LNF hasnt had a couple of these

 

What's the fix for that?

 

Nothing really. A pending code is just the car detecting a possible problem. If it happens a certain number of times within a time frame it will set a cel. Clear whatever you find and move on. Ive only set a cel for a misfire once but it was my fault.

 

And any regular code scanner will work?

 

Ok so I scanned the car no cels. Maybe this was jus a one time thing?

 

depending on the scanner you might have to manually look for pending codes

 

Umm.. its a actron.. lol

 

maybe slippin teeth in 3rd gear? idk

 

Lol highly doubt that..

 

Stay away from the rev limiter is the fix lol.
