I would highly recommend him as a tuner but also think the closer you can find a quality tuner the better.

Awesome. Ya, I am trying to be thrifty too. I will send my logs to Mike and Cory. I'm hoping to find a problem not in the tune. I don't want to have to pay for another tune.

I hear that, I've already paid for two complete dyno tunes.
Good luck , hope its something easy and cheap to fix

No big deal. If it wasn't something that you could find quickly then you'd have had to spend too much time.

Your guys told me you weren't though. Well, the guy with the buzzed hair and sunglasses.

Must have been an impostor trying to scare away our customers.

I think I"m going to make a trip to Atlanta and let Mike at Vengeance look at it.

LOL

I didn't get his name. But I did tell him to tell you that you called it on the tensioner. I put it on and the 3.4 and made the same boost as the 3.2 without it. At least as best as I can log.

While you're there....take the Green machine for a spin! We are doing a few things to it but it should be back together shortly.

Good Deal

Your car screams so loud you can't get near it to even touch it let alone drive it.

PQ hope it's a quick fix. Mike saved the day at the Gathering when dumbass here though a minor issue was a major issue and he gave me a chill pill to swallow.

...pretty sure that's supposed to be "750ish"

I had to get mine up to 850 to get it to act right

is it fixed?

[lionssfan]

ac system does look at outside temp. If the degrees is to low outside ac request will not come on. If this temp sensor is faulty or wiring to it. it could cause the ac to work irractic.

So let me get the conditions laid down.

NO CEL codes.

When I am at low RPMs and only sometimes, it will drop to below 500 rpms and die. In gear only. Usually on an incline probably because of the load on the tranny in gear at low rpm.

Instead of dying sometimes it will TRY to die but come close and then recover making it surge and buck up and down and up and down till it levels off. If I put my foot on the brake, it dies.

Same thing it was doing before it went to Vengeance.

Also, it seems that when it's hot outside is when it will do it. Not all the time but almost never when cooler out. Could be otherwise but as far as I recall. So maybe just cooincidence too.

This surging and dying is WAY worse when the headers are open with the diverters.

My air conditioner will only work when it's cooler out as well. When the air does work, it blows cold as ever. But when it's real hot out the AC just doesn't work. I wonder if it could be related at all?

Also, I found my EVAP line kinked right where it's braided and is coming out of the rail where the fuel line comes up. I unkinked it but might still be collapsed til I get another one.

I've done a number of things like a smoke test, on the entire manifold and adjacent lines. Checked the fuel pressure. Compression and leakdown test, looked for the header gasket to be leaking.


So my questions are:

Could a kinked EVAP hose cause this?
Could it be related to the air conditioning problem?
What else could it be?

Mike seems pretty confident it's something small. I agree but we'll see.

Yes. 750ish.

Not yet. Still the same.

Could it cause idle issues with the car?
