Misfire? Won't hold steady RPM.
So I went to do emissions, besides failing (miserable and I'll address that later) I noticed my car would not hold a steady rpm. The test was at a steady 2500 rpm and every full cycle the engine would droop to about 2200 rpm and then back up to 2500. I went home and tried the same test at a few different rpms between 2k-3500 and it did the same every time.
Any ideas what could be causing this? It's a very brief cutoff and according to TunerStudio the fuel load seems to spike slightly at the same time (from about 30% to 35% load). Not sure if this is related, but when I start the car it idles perfect right around 1000 rpm however when I drive for a short period of time it idles at 1500rpm. Still smooth, but it won't go beneath 1500. A few times it will idle closer to 2k rpm, but I can touch the throttle once or twice and it will come back down to 1500. :dunno: |
log\msq of said happening?

Perhaps something in your car is creating a load. Is your fan kicking on and off?
What do you mean "every cycle"? Every RPM? Every Minute? If you had an on/off load kick on while holding the throttle constant, your RPMs would quickly drop. To compensate, you would have to increase manifold pressure, which would cause a "fuel spike" in order to return the car to the previous operating RPMs. |
post your msq, it could be a number of things, idle could be idle settings, the weird surge could be an untuned VE cell

It's approximately every three seconds, but constant and like clockwork. I will try to post up an msq tomorrow. |
