Having some sputtering and bucking

e93WhiteonRed · 01-14-2011, 02:05 AM

If anyone is good at taking a look at some logs, I'd appreciate it. When the weather is on the 20's my car has run like crap. It was bucking and had a misfire and limp mode on cyl 6. Here are some logs, any idea what might be going on? I appreciate any help!!

Why wont it let me add the maps as attachments?

sorry guys...

Think I got it, should be 2 files to view. seemed like one had a rich spike in AFR and one file had a lean one...

Try dropping boost to 10psi and see if it still sputters. That will rule out a few things. And email me at shiv@vishnutuning.com. I have something for you to try.

Sounds like what I'm having, can I have the same thing to try ? or is that what you've sent me yesterday ?

I have the same issue. E-mail sent.

OP - the good news is your fuel pump hasn't gone to shit

It's fine.

This is giving me pimples on my forehead.

Can anyone explain what is going on with these logs and the problem OP is experiencing? It looks like there's a major issue. I assume the new v5 maps will fix any low temp issues... not that I have to worry in AZ. Details on this would be appreciated.

Thanks

ps. what's "Can actual boost" compared to "boost" in the logging channels.

"CAN actual boost" is what the DME sees. It should be similar to "CAN boost target." "Boost" is real boost pressure at the TMAP sensor.

There are more than a few things that can cause sputtering when boost above a certain boost pressure. And they are always hardware related. The higher the cylinder pressure, the more load placed on the ignition system and more demands placed on the fuel system. If something is not working correctly, it will make itself known once you push higher power levels.

I know it's comforting to see others with issues and assume that there is a global problem. But it's a bit unfair to assume that given known issues/recalls with this car (injectors, coils, HPFP, etc,.)

From your earlier post, seemed like you may know the issue. I'm curious about the high AFRs in the logs.
