well here is whaat happened i was on the on-ramp getting on the highway and came on to her i just about hit the rev limiter in 3rd and all of a sudden it started cutting in and out and bogging out?. i tryed to drive but it was cutting in and out pretty bad not wanting to run then after a few seconds it just started workin normal again and has not happened again sense then. anyone know what may have happened??

 

Mine does the same thing cause of the cold air.....No worrys

What are your mods?

Never say its because of the cold air that makes no sense and do you have proof?

 

Our SS/SC has done this a few times when I've really gotten on it. I've had it pure ass die on me before, had to let it set for a minute then restart it.

I just chalked it up to overactive fuel cutoff at redline..

 

Um no actually proof..But my thinkin is that with the air being colder(denser) is has to do with the timing and what not...Anything above 40* and it never does it...really not a huge issue i think.

I'm driving around here in super sub-zero temperatures (as are my friends with the SS SC) and none of us run into this when getting hard on it even when there's ice building up on the grills .

Did the DIC report power reduced or give you any visual indication the chip picked up something out of the ordinary? DarkSergeant's thought makes sense, particularly if the engine temporarily flooded or somehow became starved for fuel.

Permafried-

 

Everything reads out normal..Hints why i am not gonna get to crazy about this little issue...It winter time so i shouldnt be gettin on it anyways lol

 

yeah that same thing has happened to me in the summer i freaked lol. but my mods are just a cold air intake and a gmpp exhuast

 

You were just about to hit the rev limiter, or you did hit the rev limiter. Because that sounds like normal fuel cutoff to me lol.

 

no i did not hit it. i don't like bouncein it off the rev limiter

 

mine does that alot too and only in the cold weather...so maybe it is cold air

 

yeah that must be it

 

Its the car way of saying..."dont run me hard...its to ****** cold LOL"

 

lol ur probely right

 

Sometimes the tachometer is "behind" the actual engine speed. If your cutoff is at 6500 it is possible to hit 6400 and maybe even 6300 on the tach but the engine speed actually be at 6500 and then fuel cut off. Of course, once you reduce speed the fuel cut off should go away. The only way to know for sure what would be going on would be to trya nd get some logs when it happens and see if one of the injectors maybe causing a problem, whether the car is actually hitting fuel cutoff, or if you are getting knock or any other multiple issues.

I can say, I have never had my car do anything like this unless I accidently hit the rev limiter. As soon as I shift the car drives fine though...

 

When this happened we sent a data log to Vince(my tune guy) and said all looks normal and that its just the cold weather

 

Was the car in normal operating temperatures? I've had this happen once...I didnt let my car warm up properly and that was the result I got for getting on it in cold weather. Its pretty much a no no.
