I'm having a problem with a constant misfire at around 1700-2800rpm.

Tried and Swapped;

Unplugging tps

Cas swap

Plug gap 0.6 - 0.8 - 1.0

Swapping coilpacks with others

fuel filter

fuel pump

injectors

 

I've attached a log file and a video.

 

I have zero idea where to go from here... This problem is only evident on idle and at constant throttle around the 1-5% throttle.

Prob not the same thing but mine acted very similar when i built it from 1000-1500 and was a pain in the but to take off from stationary. 

 

turned out i had the intake cam 1 tooth advanced and when VCT  engaged it would hunt like yours and have no power. Disconnecting VCT or adjusting the TPS down a bit so VCT came in at a higher RPM kept it under control until i could pull it apart and adjust cam timing

put a fuel pressure gauge on the fuel line going into the rail and watch it when misses and look for any issues

Thanks, I'm doing that this weekend. It has to be something related to fueling.

I can't imagine it would skip a tooth, haha i hope not.

 

Haha I completely missed cell 67 - 72 - 113 - 172 - 220.

The tps is dropping out. Very prevalent today on the logs as it's getting worse over time. I tested so many things in the last week. I tested the voltage and throttle position percentage about 5 times each with nothing out of the ordinary, or more so that it was so quick, intermittent and sporadic that it never stood out.

The way we found out was watching the diagnostics window we could see the fuel cut go active and then noticed the tps was dropping out.

So i now need a new tps.

Thought I should post my findings.

Changed the TPS, it was just a coincidence mine was wearing at the same time.

It was my transient throttle turning on and off and not having the correct settings. It was injecting a lot of fuel and the o2 was trying to combat it. Causing an oscillation in the afr.

All fixed now.

    • I believe Unimog is the only vehicle that has it (from the manufacturer). I haven't seen aftermarket permanently connected kits, but I haven't looked either.
    • Ha ha ha, can't overthink when exhausted... Oh how I wish I had that power! I can be absolutely dead set shot, and my brain will still go "we need a good 3 or 4 hours to just think about everything and anything before you may sleep... My biggest thing is making sure I give myself enough sleep. I don't operate on even 7 hours of sleep! I attempt to give my body 9.5hours sleep a night to be able to function. I don't sleep the whole 9.5, but I need to make sure I offer a big window. I also take a single supplement, which is to help with long term health, and fighting inflammation, and I notice it helps massively. Especially me sleeping, and just less "achey" in the body. Have also kicked sugar, and gluten. A majority of people with ADHD don't go well with gluten. It causes a really interesting natural opioid overdose in the brain, which causes bodily issues and sensory issues.
    • Yeah that's what I meant, permanently connected not manual
    • Yep. But typically that's just run a hose down to the tyre while stationary.   Oh and the Unimog will automatically air up and air down tyres from the onboard computer for you too.
    • There was a good video somewhere, maybe Kurzgesagt that linked physical activity to ADHD/Anxiety/Insomnia etc. Basically the body WILL spend energy doing something if you don't spend it doing anything physical. It isn't fun, but I personally have noticed I've never been overthinky, or unable to sleep if I'm physically exhausted from doing a lot. The musings around it seem to indicate that this is one of the reasons/mechanism that physical activity improves mental health/wellbeing etc, by more or less not using that 'extra' energy to overthink, be anxious, inflammation, etc. There's also the fact that every obnoxious exerciser ever says it's great and helps which is extremely annoying. Like people who say the same thing about travel being the best thing ever. I mean, they clearly are, but blah. I started doing a LITTLE myself (think 3x15min per week) and honestly did notice the benefits, aiming at life quality when older. Which is sooner than you think. Getting something into your routine that you can actually make a routine has helped me at least. This post brought to you by procrastination between sets.
