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

    • If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s. 
    • Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.     
    • Unfortunately, not only is that not the case, one of the main "Selling points" of safety over comms is they clearly state in writing that there's no need to segregate safety networks from non-safety networks. It always gets intermingled with everything else on an ICS/OT network. 
    • Hello. I have an a31 cefiro but since I am in Turkey we have a CA20S engine. I did some research. Then I found that I can swap with a ca18 but when I heard that it has the similar substructure as the s13. I thought I can swap with an sr20 because the sr20 was used with the s13. So can I easily swap the sr20 on my cefiro or is it difficult?
