mail order tune, or something on my end.

[chets bird]

OK guysI have hptuners, and tuned my v6, but I dont have the time and effort needed. So i got a recommended shop to do a mail order tune, until I could get the car to their dyno.

mods;
forged 347
patriot stage 2 heads
F14 cam

mail order tune

symptoms;
fouled the plugs once
lack of throttle response
car is open headers, but it acts like there is no cam
no choppy idle.

attached is an hptuners tune file, and a short scan.

i would just like to know if you guys think this is a tuning issue or something on my end, as I dont want to trailer car to dyno and it be something on my end.

under torque manage your ETC TPS max should be 100% not 0%. and turn off your cat over temp.

Agreed. This may be a big part of your problem. Why are your scans at idle only? Why are you not driving the car?

and turn off your cat over temp.

Only if you do not have a cat or want to melt it if you do.

changes made, and no cats on the car. Car is open headers by a lakefront, people be unhappy LOL. We are putting an exhaust on it shortly. Car is too sluggish anyways and feels completely wrong too be driving anyways.

so these changes wouldnt be my throttle response issue and whatnot huh?

car has 2 miles or so on new motor, so being safe than sorry.

thanks for the help guys, kinda read what I changed and how it reacts, hope to see positive results, anything else you all see out of the ordinary.

his egr is disabled

[wadelieck]

and have you changed your injectors.

[chets bird]

yes 42 lber's they should be changed on their though.

[wadelieck]

is there any way you can do a scan driving.

[chets bird]

yeah, let me get an exhaust on it, this turkey day chaos is fading away now, but now im crappy sick. So I will try and get one soon.

A properly tuned cam car should not be "choppy". There will be a little, but that is not a big cam. Sure, you can tell a little bit but it should not be a horrible chop.

[chets bird]

understandable, but you know a car with a cam in it, this has nothing, sounds like a stock cam car.

[WS6FirebirdTA00]

Sure you did not put the stock cam in it??

Post a sound clip.

[chets bird]

this was when I fired it up, on stock tune;

doesnt sound like this at all no more,

[WS6FirebirdTA00]

I really don't see the issue? lol

If you want it to be choopy and run like crap, lower the idle and timing down.

[chets bird]

I will have to get a soundclip up of how it is acting now. Somethings wrong, I have no Throttle response, and you cannot tell it has a cam in it, and this is a mild cam.

[WS6FirebirdTA00]

Poor throttle response is more than likely due to incorrect fueling.

[chets bird]

thats what our thoughts where, which leads me to believe it is a tuning issue.

[chets bird]

seems i might have a dead coil pack.

[WS6FirebirdTA00]

That can do it too lol
