jojorios Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Bypassed the sensor or replacing it?Looking into a service that will reset the error code. You can't buy a replacement.

legacyboy1991 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Does trading her in count? If so, I am a bit late but I traded my 2012 in last month. I do miss her some ;( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBPeik Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 So I took the car out for a short run today. Everything was going fine. Then once it was up to temp I decided to give it a little boost. Right at peak boost it started stuttering like mad and the christmas tree showed up. Nursed it home(only about a mile). Checked for codes and it was misfire cyl 3. So I tore everything down, checked voltage, spark, and resistance on number three. When I checked the spark there was none, so I swapped 1 and 3 coils and put it all back together. Sure enough, now it is cyl 1 misfire. I guess it is time for new coils. I know Swannee had 100k on his and I have put at least another 15 on them. So I will be getting coils soon. Just never ends. My someday I will be done with it thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cww516 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I would be ecstatic if that issue turned out to be a coil, only thing better would be an unplugged coil or a cooked spark plug. By comparison, coils are cheap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLlegacy Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Yeah, seems like a better outcome than my last misfire repair, new ecm in the tribeca... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBPeik Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Yeah I was a bit worried at first. I even ran my camera into the piston to look at the valves and everything. I know with the forged pistons and better valves all should be well, but I still was very worried. Always nice when it is a super easy fix. My someday I will be done with it thread.

I've never used spacers before, but coming from the Jeep world, a lot there did (and do) to help with swapped in axle width differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forget what sizes they were but I know the fronts are a different size than the back . I just took a tapemeasure to the lip of the rim, looked straight down the fender and based my spacer size off of that. It completely changed the look of the car. Now they will be retired as my winter set up since I've bought +35 offset rims.

Sarang Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Hey Guys. My e-tuner just sent me an email saying that my recent logs looked good and that if I'm satisfied we're all done. I have some concerns and I was hoping y'all would reassure me that I'm not crazy here... or if I am, let me know. Here's what's going on: My idle is kind of rough and rather stinky. I have gotten comments from strangers and coworkers that my car is running rich. The car does not take the clutch as well. I haven't stalled it yet, but there are a lot more close calls. The car is laggy. Full boost is around 3k rpm, where it used to be ~2600. The car feels kind of like it's bogging at full boost. The car only hits full boost (18psi) for a brief window, ~700rpm. The AFR at full boost is ~11, shouldn't it be ~12, or am I misinformed? The WGDC is flat, no increase in lower rpms or higher. (that would explain my peaky boost?) The transition from WOT to partial throttle, or vice versa is sharp and jerky. Less important note: I thought with the FMIC I could run a little more boost. I know PSI isn't everything, but it's weird to me that I'm hitting lower with more intercooling. So am I crazy here? Do I have incorrect expectations? What are your thoughts? I'm not mentioning which e-tuner because I wouldn't want to drag anyone thru the mud if I'm just being a total N00b. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Becks1818 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 (edited) My idle is kind of rough and rather stinky. I have gotten comments from strangers and coworkers that my car is running rich- **What is your afr at idle ? The car does not take the clutch as well. I haven't stalled it yet, but there are a lot more close calls. **Ask him to adjust the throttle and make it more sensitive The car is laggy. Full boost is around 3k rpm, where it used to be ~2600-  **What is the ambient temp? Could be the power limiting rule that adjusts the boost based on intake temp The car feels kind of like it's bogging at full boost. **Could be realted to your lean afr. The car only hits full boost (18psi) for a brief window, ~700rpm. **What rpm? Sounds normal due to our turbo design and size The AFR at full boost is ~11, shouldn't it be ~12, or am I misinformed? **12 is too lean. Mid 11's are safe The WGDC is flat, no increase in lower rpms or higher. (that would explain my peaky boost?) **Can't explain that. The transition from WOT to partial throttle, or vice versa is sharp and jerky. **Sounds like poor tuning and I'm assuming he didn't calibrate your MAF and TPS prior to tuning ? Less important note: I thought with the FMIC I could run a little more boost. I know PSI isn't everything, but it's weird to me that I'm hitting lower with more intercooling. ** The front mount won't allow you to run more boost. It will lower intake temps which will allow for more consistent numbers and maybe a little more timing. Our turbos are pretty much maxed at 18psi anyways . So am I crazy here? Do I have incorrect expectations? What are your thoughts? Edited February 1, 2018 by Becks1818 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBPeik Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Sounds like your tune is a bit wonky. I would have him take a look at it again. Possibly do a log of you driving around normally for 10 or 15 minutes and have him look at that. If your tuner is only focusing on your pulls then perhaps he missed something. As far as your afr. Becks is correct 12 is way too lean. Mine is in the low 10's at full boost so 11 should be ok. My someday I will be done with it thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLlegacy Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Definitely communicate the issues to your tuner and be direct. I learned the hard way. Also a rich cold idle is normal but it should dissipate quickly once the cat warms up, unless you don't have a catted j pipe. Then you are probably normal. At wot my afr pegs at 11.14 my understanding is that is the lowest the AP will read because of a software limit. It is also my understanding the fmic ups the boost peak a few hundred rpm. Having the fmic means you won't heat soak as quickly or at all, you are still limited to how much boost the tune/turbo provide safely and how much boost the tuner feels is safe for your engine.
