Ok I am not reffering to the rich and retard mode which gives you the power dip, but rather a violent cut / stop when on WOT. I had my SAFCII dyno tuned and when i first drove the car all was fine. WOT 11psi all good. Then later that night i went to give it a squirt in second and as the boost pushed 11 and was on the increase, usually gets to about 12 for a bit then drops back down, the car violently cut out and felt like the brakes had been slammed on. :(

I have done heaps of searching on fuel / boost cuts and rich and reatrd etc but I have only now experienced theis problem after i got my SAFCII installed and tuned. :D Before the SAFCII the car could go to around 1 bar without this violent cut business. Over 11 it would usually expereince the reatarding and richening up of mixtures but never cut out like that. Anyone know why this is happening now with the safcII??? IT was quite cold outside but the boost certainly didn't get over 12psi, and it did it in 2nd and forth - feels terrible! Ideas's Comments??

Thanks

Does anyone think that it could be another component causing the problem that just coincidently happened after the safcII tune, 2 hrs hard reving on the dyno etc??? Coil packs?? or would it defienately be a fuel cut. Basically feels like someone slams the brakes on for a sec and if you arn't wearing a seatbelt you would fly forward..

      @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.

      I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.

      @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation.

      If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
