LSJ Boosts Fine for 10-15 Minutes, Then It's a Bucking Bronco Under Boost
Hi guys,
Car has been running great ever since I gapped the plugs to 0.032 and eliminated all boost blowout. However, a month or so later I am driving home on the highway and doing some pulls; everything is fine until one pull hits the wall at just 6k rpm. I suspected boost blowout, however, when I got back on the gas under boost lightly, around 3800 rpm, the car started bucking and jerking all the way up the rev range from there. I put the throttle down without coming too far out of vacuum and the engine was able to build RPMs to 5k without any bucking or hesitation. I do not feel this is boost blowout because I've never had it at this level of RPMS. It feels different too, a much harder abrupt stop of the revs, just like slamming the throttle plate closed. Also, the car starts and runs perfectly each time until a random time duration later it starts being a bucking bronco again. Plugs and coils appear to be fine. I am looking for ideas on diagnosing this issue, where should I begin, has anyone experience this? Thanks kindly |
In your description it says you have a canned tune. I'm betting your fueling is off. Do you have a wideband to monitor air/fuel ratio?

Appreciate the reply, the canned tune has been great though. No issues with it for months on months... I wonder if it's an injector. I don't have a wideband, but I guess I need one.
|
Has your weather recently changed and have you ran it in these conditions before?
|
It got quite a bit colder, never ran into this issue before, but always drove this tune in the "warm". Could cold weather affect a tune this much? I am doubtful of that..
