Carter Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Its begining to get very cold here, 20's and 30's at night now, 40s and 50s maybe during the day. When I am driving, in the morning or at night, in the cold and come to a light, and then let off the brake and onto the gas, the car comes so close to stalling, the RPMs dip and the car shudders like it will stall. The car is usually warmed up at that point, but it is worse when it is cold. I did have MAF voltage too low, and IAT temp too high codes a few weeks ago. Dealer said the MAF connector was undone. I cleaned the MAF with MAF Cleaner and it hasnt seemed to help. Any ideas? It has stalled on me before, but I contribute that to the oil overloaded SPT intake I had. Stock box and filter are back on now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laz Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 GodWhoIsMike had a similar issue with his car. He also had the SPT intake. I think they finally found that it was a bad injector or 2 IIRC. Search and you shall find! X --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godwhomismike Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 GodWhoIsMike had a similar issue with his car. He also had the SPT intake. I think they finally found that it was a bad injector or 2 IIRC. Search and you shall find! X Bad injector(s). Wide open injector all the time, fine when the car was accelerating or moving, but when braking, idling, or sitting at a light/stop sign - the car would vibrated like a mechanical bull. They had to send a SOA engineer to figure it out, and determined that the injector was bad. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carter Posted November 1, 2007 Author Share Posted November 1, 2007 I have the enginutiy software and tactrix cable, I have logged simple things like engine load, manifold pressure, and other simple things. I'm not too familiar with it, but is there a way to log each injectors duty cycle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWP-LegacyGT Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Never had a problem. Is this happening on a cold start and then when it gets warmed up it goes away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carter Posted November 2, 2007 Author Share Posted November 2, 2007 Never had a problem. Is this happening on a cold start and then when it gets warmed up it goes away? Both, but not ALL the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest heightsgtltd Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 yeah sounds like injectors based on Mike and I think someone else's experiences on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carter Posted November 20, 2007 Author Share Posted November 20, 2007 It almost happened to me tonight. Only in the cold and only when the engine isnt fully warmed up. It vibrates harshly, and once it backfired under maybe 50% throttle. I guess I have to take it back to the dealer yet again. This really gets old. You buy a car that you love (or thought you did) and it ends up not living up to your expectations, heck, it doesnt even live up to being a semi well functioning car.

SLegacy99 Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Fuel injection was my first thought. SOA if you are reading this, please give Carter a new engine. PLEASE I AM BEGGING YOU!.....and throw in one for me too. A turbocharged one. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
