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

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.

    • @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.
