Fuel Cut When Go Up Hill

Recommended Posts

hi all,

i just went to Wollongong from Sydney today. on the highway with up hill,20-25% flatting on acc pedal, car speed around 100km/s - 110km/s, i always get fuel cut when injector load at 25%-30% (4-5psi on boost), when the issue came, injector load down to 0% then back to normal, sometimes injector load will up to 40%-50% then down to 10% then back to normal. (i got this info from greddy informeter touch). engine will not stall, just got one second fuel cut then back to normal and continue speed up.

when i keep rev up with 20%-25% flatting on acc pedal, after the car got fuel cut and restore back, it will happens again after several seconds. i need to release my right foot then depress again to speed up again.

i just did the main maintenance, change all oil/fluids, new plugs, transgo kits, hiflowed turbo (with EBC runs 17psi), turbosmart kompact, kn oil filter, new fuel filter, constant 12v on stock fuel pump (just blew the walbro pump), 4 new tyres (same size) for about 10000kms (actually there is no shudder when driving on flat highway over 100km/s or brake)

there is no problem if the road is flat or 10% flatting on acc pedal (absolutely it is going slow down when on up hill road).

after back home, i scanned with consult3, there is no error code.

i am not quite sure when i have this problem but i just found it today, LOL. (there is no much up hill highway in Sydney...)

may be the problem is stock fuel pump doesn't contact 12v? any ideas? or time to get emanage?

The additional load from the hill causes higher boost vs tps vs rpm than the ecu will allow(boost cut). Duty cycle decreasing shows the ECU cutting fuel not the fuel pump having and issue.

Do you run a Throttle controller ?

Yes, I have throttle controller in my car

try removing it. I had the same problem. The TPS rate of change gets effected which triggers different cells in the ECU

btw, do you have throttle controller? how did you sort the problem? thanks.

I do have a throttle controller. Using the throttle controller normal map fixes it half the time. Changing the max AFM output voltage on my EMU fixes it all the time

i am thinking how stock ecu get rid of this with stock turbo

Lol, trifecta

besides throttle controller, is there any help if i remove EBC and swap back factory boost solenoid?

you mentioned "Changing the max AFM output voltage on my EMU fixes it all the time"

for my problem, when i got fuel cut, it was under low boost and i assume my stock AFM didn't get 5v voltage at that time. why changing max AFM output voltage could fix this problem?

It's not a 5v cut, it depends which cells you are in as to what the AFM cut voltage is.

If you are hitting 21 odd psi occasionally and still have the stock map sensor connected it can boost cut as well.

Just bumping the boost up on the factory map will cause the ecu to protect the engine, sounds like you are trying to destroy it from 3 sides so don't be surprised if you have gone backwards in power. tuning time is well overdue.

i have stock map sensor on the car but blocked the vacuum. anyway, will get tune soon.

btw, is it necessary to get emanage ultimate or just need emanage blue? also is there any plug and play loom or just need universal loom?

so many questions. :nyaanyaa:

The Blue only adds timing and fuel I think, the Ultimate adds and subtracts.

You need to hardwire the universal harness, either into the stock loom or I can supply a patch loom if you really don't want to cut wires. Not cheap, but I could prewire that for you I suspect, and send it out ready to plug in.

    • New R34 owned here (from the US) and found a gem, '98 GTT with ~6k miles, super clean & completely stock. When shifting there's no grinding, shifts smooth, etc. The concern I have are 2 things: 1) Only in 2nd and 3rd... when maintaining a slower speed (in traffic as an example) as I let off/on the gas, the shifter will slightly move and vibrate. If the clutch is engaged, none of this happens. It's not bad, but enough to feel like something isn't necessarily right. 2) This mainly happen in 4th or 5th... the shifter slightly bounces up and down, almost like it's riding on unbalanced tires (and I do think the tires are unbalanced as I get a little of that bounce feel at higher speeds, which is maybe why it only happens in 4th/5th). Lastly, and sorry for this noob question but I want to work on this car myself, can someone teach me some on these manual transmissions? Like servicing them, best products to use, etc.; would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
    • Coilovers aren't even the first step. Bushes, subframe position and alignment, HICAS elimination, adjustable upper arms and traction arms in order to dial out understeer. All these things need/deserve attention first. ARBs (There's no such thing as a swaybar. Please, everybody, stop calling them that) are useful if you want to limit spring stiffness. Otherwise you can control body roll with springs. Spring and damper rates are a function of road surface, speed and usage. There is no solution that works for all cases.
    • Define "nothing". Is the starter spinning but not the engine? Engine turning but not firing? If the engine is turning but not firing, then you are missing either fuel or spark. You need to find whichever has gone missing.
    • Shitbox Tiguan updates, got the APR OTS tune put back on (no charge for it to be removed/added back), didn't want to just come in just for that (not a fan of wasting people's time for nothing) so I purchased an APR dog bone insert. The boys at German Performance Garage said they would fit it for free too since they had 1x hoist free. Now that's service you don't normally get from most workshops. Anyhow, tune back on, snow grate pulled out, dog bone insert back in and not going to lie, a few smiles when I nailed it around the industrial area heading back onto the M7. Amayama also said 1 to 2.5 month wait for the RB25DE heater hose, yeah why not, car has been off the road for nearly 3, what's a other 2.5?
    • Hmm I'm going to approach this from the other side... What is the car doing that you don't like or what would you like the car to do that is currently isn't doing (handling wise that is)
