109778, 0 psi fuel cut, has this ever been solved?
Posted by ez, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
I keep getting fuel cut at the 0 psi transition point. I see dozens of posts like this in the archives, and only one thread where the problem was solved (but that was from magnetic interference from the electronic boost controller).

Setup: 99 with HRC 16g, portfueler, SFMU 1:1 setup w/ 50 psi idle pressure, symtech FCD.

It is definitely fuel cut, as noted by the sudden super lean AFRs. It is not precipitated by a momentary rich point right before 0 psi, such as you might expect would cause the ECU to lean out. Fuel pressures are steady during this time. Injectors have been recently cleaned and balanced. It is independent of RPM. Car has zero issues beyond this, no CEL, no vacuum leaks. There is nothing mechanical happening here, I am certain it is only the ECU's response to MAP voltage behavior.

Voltage on the MAP line is monitored by a greddy e01. Voltage does not go above 4.7. I have played around with FCD settings ranging from 4.3 to 4.7. Nothing seems to work.

I don't see fuel cut under a WOT scenario where the transition from vacuum to boost is quick. I do see fuel cut if gradually transitioning through 0 psi at partial throttle, or hovering at 0 psi. This happens A LOT during normal city driving. It's annoying.

The e01 shows interesting phenomena. When MAP voltage slowly increases while increasing mani pressure to 0 psi, there is fuel cut. When hovering constant at max voltage (<4.6 or <4.7V) at 0 psi fuel pressure there is fuel cut. When slowly decreasing from max voltage to 4.5V as mani pressure decreases from 0 psi to vacuum, there is fuel cut. It leads me to believe it is not just a specific voltage that causes fuel cut, but a specific voltage over time .

The only one that showed the solution (electronic interference was the culprit):
