Curing Low Rev Stumble By Replacing Crank/Cam Sensors?


Recommended Posts

Lets get that update maaaaannnnn

 

Just wanted to share something that might be relevant to this thread.

 

Replaced my MAF sensor today and while I was in there I pulled out my crank position sensor for shits and grins based on this thread:

Low and behold this is what mine looked like. I just wiped it off and have yet to drive it but I was surprised at how much dirt that had accumulated after 104k miles. Just a public service announcement... I'll follow up if there is any improvement or not.

Well I have some mixed results.... It's hard to say what is what since I also replaced my maf sensor at the same time.

 

Overall the car feels a little bit smoother and bit less boggy. Unfortunately I'm still getting a hesitation/stutter in the same range...

 

It might be interesting to check out the cam sensors to see if they are similarly dirty...

Bump on this...

 

Another thought I had, the stock map as well as my tuned map has the WGDC tables starting exactly at 2250 rpm (coincidence?). At anything over 17% applied throttle at 2250 there is loads of WG duty.

 

Whether this is interpolated to lower RPM I'm not sure, but maybe it's the WG cutting in abruptly at this RPM causing a momentary hesitation until it can be smoothed out to the next RPM row??

Here is my catless downpipe but stock boost levels WDC tables that I currently run.

These are my WGDC tables post STG2 downpipe install. Stock turbo, boost controller etc. All I did was reduce the WGDC table by certain % until I reached the same boost levels I was hitting stock.

I think I know what thread you are talking about, that issue was related to lean spots. Where people are saying the possible reason for random leanness was not enough fuel due to no fuel filter in the engine bay, which conveniently also doubles as a fuel storage container before pump kicks up pressure.

 

From what I've read people have replaced that fuel line and even added an aftermarket FPR and there was still no improvement...

 

So russian, did your stock tables have the 90% WGDC in the 2250 row?

 

Yup, here is the stock WGDC table...

Maybe it's just a hunch but it seems kind of weird to run 90% WGDC in that one row only, especially at low throttle angles. I think I am running like 50-something percent and them 30-something at 2500 with an ebcs...

 

That's Subaru's tuning magic. Now keep in mind it will interpolate between 0 rpm and 2250. But since there is no lower RPM column I'm not sure if it will interpolate from 0 or if it starts right at 90% for even 700rpm :spin:.

 

Either way I think this way of tuning is stupid, but amongst other things (DBW map), Subaru did this to make the car feel peppier off the line.

Yeah I thought about the interpolation to zero as well... But the way I see it the stumble could be either the ecu approaching the 90% WGDC at 2250 rpm OR it could be the sharp decrease in WGDC after that cell is reached... Not sure but I might give it a try soon

Yeah definitely try a smoother one then, I would do 60% on the 2250 row. I personally will probably go through and remap the RPM fields when I do a big tune overhaul, for now trying to keep as much stock as possible for testing :).

Hmmm might have to try that out...

 

Also try adding and an inline filter or extending the fuel lines. I didn't have the stumble, but I noticed the doesn't lean out as much when you tip in the throttle.

I wonder if I'm going to see what you guys are experiencing once I switch out the FP to DW65c.

 

I think I did have some stumbling before, but after fixing CL to OL delay, and removing timing compensation it's been fine.

Are you talking about the per cylinder timing compensation? I am still running some on cylinders 2 and 4 but it looks like my tuner reduced it to ~1 degree or less...

Correct, where it adds 2* for 2 & 4. The reason your tuner left some timing there is because knock sensor is right over #4, that way it knocks first and starts retarding timing for all cylinders.

 

I am playing with Closed loop to open loop delay, I enabled the stock values. Holly crap the major stumble is back. Watching the wideband it stumbles because it's at 12psi and has 14:1 AFR's, then it stumbles again when it hits 10.9:1 AFR after it finally goes into open loop.

I think I've been able to replicate a sort of a stumble. It's based on wastegate duty cycle tables I think. While driving and logging, I would see my WGDC go from 0-11, and then it instantly jumps to 40 and the power difference would cause a stumble/car surge of sort.
