First post here in a really long time. On to the issue.
Getting a surge under full throttle conditions. No other time.
Some details.
Car 2015 Ecoboost 6 sp manual PP built 12/2014. So yes a Spain engine.
Mods are.
ATM intercooler.
3 inch catless downpipe.
Mishimoto catch can installed at 1K miles
Plugs changed out at about 40K.
Livernois tune since 18K miles.
85K miles currently on the car.
Always running 93 octane from a veritable laundry list of gas stations. Basically I fill up whenever it's convenient. Different fuels have made no issue. (And why would they? They all come out of the same pipe 15 miles from my house)
So for example if I go to pass on a 2 lane road, 3rd gear WOT it pulls hard till about 4.5-5k and then I get what definitely feels like a misfire/surge. Never have I gotten a misfire code or check engine light of any kind. Not hearing detonation either.
In normal driving everything is fine. Smooth and predictable. Mileage is good and consistent with what I've always gotten.
Wondering if my HPFP is possibly not flowing like it used to. Makes a slight ticking noise but it's always done that from new.
Also wondering about the throttle body. Possibly fluttering under WOT.
So what are others thoughts? Anyone else had an issue like this? What was the solution?
I have not switched back to the stock tune. It's been tuned for 3 1/2 years. Just started this recently. Doubt it's a tune issue.
Thanks.
