Hi there!

Recently my car just got a preoblem I cant figure out of.

I am currently running Apexi PFC D-Jetro (MAP sensors).

The issue is that when I drive normaly, on low RPM the car is hesitating and "jumpy", and when I release the throttle it will backfire all the time until I apply throttle again.

While this happens I can see on my hand commander that the ignition timing is going up and down at the same time as the backfires occurs.

Also the idle is rough, going up and down from about 900 rpm to about 1.3k rpm.

However, I can park the car and go for shopping or even fuel my car, and when I start it and drive, it behaves perfect with no backfires or no hesitation.

Also, about 70% of the time, if I rev the car and empty the gears to the revlimiter the issue will go away for a while, and then it comes back.

I have tried to wiggle cables, checking hoseclamps, replaced sparkplugs, replaced the CAS. But this issue is really something I cant figure out.

Anyone here with some tips on troubleshooting this issue?

Edit:

Here is two small videos that I made. taken only minutes after eachother, after some shopping.

Hi there all,

Thank you for taking time to reply on my thread.

I have tried allot of things now back and forth and it seems that I have managed to get the backfiring gone when releasing throttle.

There was a loose nut on one of the throttlebodies and it seems that it had screwed itself out abit, making it not sealing proper when throttle is shut.

I did really hope that this also was causing the bad idle, but the idle is still the same, rough sometimes, sometimes its not. Today i replaced the AAC valve, and cleaned it really good before install.

I also replaced the PCV valve, since it is so easy, I just had to try it.

Then I also replaced the TPS, since i noticed on my commander that the black dot for "idle" didnt tick when releasing the throttle, after TPS replacement there is now a black dot on "idle". But yet, the idle is still rough.

So I guess I have to try some more stuff tomorrow then, and I will update if things go better:)

Best regards,

Thomas

    • The NZ wiring kit is a 1/3 the price and will be perfectly fine for your application, I've ran one for 6+ years and many others have. Comes as a full plug into factory connector and the settings for a Link. https://www.nzwiring.com/index.php/product/trigger-kit/ Always comes back to the tuners knowledge and experience with a tuning platform. It takes years to become proficient and learning all aspects and capabilities. I've been using Links for 16 years now (rb and sr paltforms) and always learning something new with adding tables, diagnostics and data logging. Stay 98 for the usability and keep it simple so you can enjoy the car more. With experience I'll give you a current example of the industry I am in. They use Motec m190 and only use VE tuning when they have a torque mapping available and would solve the "PARITY" issues that plagues the category all because the muppet doing the tuning doesn't understand the platform or want to learn it and the product seller have no idea on its full capabilities ( I had a good laugh as when firing up an older car that just got completed and they didn't understand the injector scaling or how to change it for different fuel being used)  
    • I'm sure there are specific hygrometers for it. But if you can just throw a high enough ranged temp sensor (theromcouple that came with your DMM, for example) into a pot of it on the BBQ, you can see when it boils.
    • I have multiple bottles in a shed that gets hot, and I'm in SEQ, so it's humid. Maybe we test their theory... Anyone have a system to accurately measure moisture content in oil?
    • Yeah, that and throwing away opened, part used, closed back up bottles has got to be bullshit. Brake fluid sits in not-very-well sealed master cylinder reservoirs for literal years and keeps working (albeit we know we should flush it every couple of years - it actually still works). Anything kept in a bottle in the shed with a tightly capped lid has got to be a million times better than what has been in the car for the same length of time.
    • Wait, they're claiming UNOPENED fluid has a shelf life of only 18 months?
