Well, I’ve kept saying how fantastic my car runs and I’m about to give the Soler Performance TB a whirl.
Well, wouldn’t you know it! I went out last night to do some baseline logs in anticipation of changing the TB this week and then comparing.
The car ran like dog crap.
Right off idle and then throughout the rev range. Needless to say, there was no wot log.
From a stop, step on the gas about 50% and cough and hiccup specter then goes. Prior to this issue I would see likely 6psi boost and I would be gone! Didn’t make any boost at all.
Driving it feels normal. But, at times when I drop gears and try to get on it, sometimes it makes lots of boost and other times very little boost. I’ve seen it make boost as well but no subsequent hard acceleration.
No codes. No cel.
I changed the bypass reference line and removed the pill as well to have boost come in faster. No real difference. I haven’t pulled vacuum from the bypass to see if it’s holding but sucking in on the line I do see the arm move.
Checked TB, intake and vacuum lines and all status quo.
Going to pull plugs and have a look see.
Maybe a KAM reset as well.
I filled up with gas from my usual station as well but no change.
I’ll change e plugs and download the logs and see if I see anything. I’ll likely reach out to a few smart guys to get an opinion as well.
I’m dreading it’s not a cat issue. Bloody karma lol. I just sold my MAC deletes 2 weeks ago because I never really used them but a few times and it was a pain to switch out and back. Figured with @engineermike data and such I could make them live.
Wish I had a borescope to get a look see.
So if anyone has any ideas much appreciated.
Stupid karma... lol
