Boost Oscillation with JB4

Mautofied17 · 04-03-2013, 09:58 PM

So at any point I am accelerating or cruising with very light throttle, the RPM's will bump up and down and the car will sort of "lunge forward" in a pulsating pattern. It will do it manually accelerating or when the cruise is set on a flat surface. It is incredibly annoying. Does anybody have an answer to what may cause this?

Here's a video. There is a gear change somewhere in the video, but you can see the RPM's pulsating up and down by 100 RPM's or so.

I would start by getting some logs so everybody can see what's going on other than looking at a video of the tach bouncing.

I'm trying to find a laptop to use. I solely use Macs and they do not have a program optimized for the Mac.

I run parallels desktop on my mac to datalog. It works really well for me.

Just downloaded Parallels, but having the hardest time trying to get Windows 8 up and running.

Use XP... I am a mac guy and run the JB4 software on my macbook with XP using VM Fusion and XP.

Works great.

Finally got it running last night. I hope to have logs up by tomorrow sometime.

If you had no lap top access the first thing you need to do is update the interface & firmware.

When I went from g4 to g5 I didn't set the interface to g5 iso in settings....... I had similar a problem.
Maybe this is ur problem.

Terry figured it out for me and all was good

I'm not positive that the diodes are cut in order to run the ISO, but I will check it out.

Well found out the car actually has a G4 board. So I updated it and restored all defaults. Will report back if the issue is still prevalent.
