80911, Feels like Fuel cut at 6500rpm
Posted by greenenvy95, Dec-30-04 01:08 PM
I just came back from a Trip to LI NY and I was on the highway and went into boost (15psi) and approx when i get to around 6500 rpm it feels like I hit a fuel cut. I don't have a wideband to datalog. It has happened a few times. This just started and it is intermittent. Please Help

Try leaning out your fuel carefully. Or have someone follow you and tell you if you're coughing out black smoke at 6500rpm. I hit fuel cut at high RPM all the time when I was tuning with just the SFMU, because my fuel curve wasn't right. Too rich at idle, too lean under load at low speeds, then goes crazy rich at high rpm. I sorta fixed it with an SAFC sorta kinda.

And this is obvious hopefully, but don't boost with less than a quarter tank of fuel.

could be to rich. i was doing that while trying to tune my efi controller, but yea, we need more info like fuel set-up, missing link/balck box, etc.

Well I have an EFI 8 injector Setup with a HRC stage 2 kit running 15psi daily. I have a ported and polished head,3 angle valve guide, SS valves, p&P intake, Ported Throttle body 55mm, JE pistons and Crower rods, a Greddy Emanage(installed but not really used)and Manual boost controller. Should my next purchace be a wideband. Otherwise the car has been running good for the past couple of months. I dont want to keep dumping large amounts of monet into the car causeI just had a kid. But I want it to be fairly reliabel and to take to the track every once in a while.

you're gonna play hell trying to tune that thing correctly without a wideband, Especialy if you're runnin an 034EFI. I will bet you dollars to doughnuts that your running way to rich. I went thru a big ordeal with that exact same thing. sometimes it would do it, sometimes not. outside ambient air temp seemed to be a big part of it for me...

you really should look into a wideband to see what your running at. with all your mods, its the next "must have" item...you really wont be able to dial in your EFI without a wideband, you might get close by shear luck...but yea, you need a wideband.
