86 in HOT weather
 

How does yours run when its over a hundred (not index but radiant) degrees outside. Mine runs like krap all. It bogs no get and go. Saturday was a hot day and the temp guage was reading 113f, and the car was just slouchy to say the word. WTF I think the sun would be cooler!

Add oil cooler and big rad, maybe?

Intake air temperatures seem to have a pretty big impact. Especially in stop and go traffic. Plug in an OBDII and monitor intake air temp and i bet you will see it spike while you are at a stop light, and as soon as you move it comes back down again. I have felt the same thing.

Its IAT and heat soak. Every car runs like shit when its extremely hot out.

Same physics that have vehicles running better in cooler, denser air.

2 months of this shit. We covent our wam weather in the South but this is to much warm

Turn off your A/C and switch your HEAT on high.

Your car will run better, but you might not make it.

Try early morning and late evening drives!
That strong summer sun melts plastic parts , cooks electrical parts and boils water and oil!

Last summer when I ran 91 octane it was pretty shit. Especially in the torque dip range. But once I switched to 93/94 octane it was fine. We've had heat waves for the last few weeks and it still revs freely. I also leave the A/C off most of the time

runs fine at 100 degrees fahrenheit ....it's not as if the car feels fast in the first place until you finish redlining 3rd gear then you are having some fun

mine runs fine its 100f+ everyday

Try cleaning the MAF. May not be the heat but the humidity that is messing with you. Rode in @gramicci101's in 110 degree heat in Vegas and it seemed to run just fine. We have been pushing 100 here for a few weeks and I have noticed zero difference in mine.

I remember those humid ass Georgian summers. Man they sucked!

Tcoat right you don't get dry heat in the South. You get boiling swamp heat, and its nasty. I'll look into the maf and clean it

Oh, I'd suggest you just make a large glass if iced tea, kick back in front of the A/C and take a nap. The errands will wait till evening ...... ;)

As @VTEC mentioned, also make sure your putting good gas in the tank. Out here in SoCAL it can get to 100+ with 80% humidity which is already challenging for the car. Our low octane 91 pump gas knocks like mad so the ECU pulls timing right away. Make sure you're either putting in 93 octane gas or adding a legit octane booster like Torco Acellerator to 91. Or switch to e85 ;)

My car doesn't bog in the extreme heat/humidity, but it is definitely not near as lively, even with 93 octane fuel. Here in North Florida we get days of 95-100 degrees with 50+% humidity all day long, and it can take a toll on intake temps (as you could imagine) especially in stop and go traffic. Sometimes I'll see up to 155+, however my IAM stay's pretty steady at 1.00 for the most part. Every now and again it will drop down to .88-.95 when it's really nasty outside. Now if I was driving the car hard (like on track, autocross, drift, etc) it may be a different story, and I wouldn't be surprised if the ECU pulled timing quicker.

JESUS. How do some of you people live where you do???????

Coming from the polar bear! :clap:

Been between 85 and 95 for 3 weeks here now and I am ready to jump off a building. I really don't know how you guys do it!!!!!!!

Short pants, sandals and comfort underwear

I don't really trust the ass dyno but I can feel a big difference in the car on hot days. Its been brutal in south fl this summer and the power seems to drop way off as the day progresses. Once that sun is at full strength the canbus says no mas.

Kind of like putting a frog in a pan of water on the stove and then S-L-O-W-L-Y turning the heat up ....... it doesn't have sense enough to jump out.

John Snow approves of how this post is going.

Hahahahaha

I just snorted at work... LOUD.

Middle one has gross stomach. Would make fun of her until she felt ugly enough to sleep with me.

The look she would probably give you:

Yeah, until I had worn away enough of her self esteem!

This is the way how a gentleman slept with many women.
Fact.

its terrible but we can manage. :thumbdown:
its 102 right now but its going to be 107 tomorrow :( f that

No problems with their ecus.

Amateurs. 108*F today. I've played golf in 118*F. Wasn't a bright idea, but I still did it.

Sorry to threadjack. Please carry on with the girlie pics for Humfrz.

The girls have gone home for the day ........ so. BRING EM ON ....... :w00t:

I used to live in Laughlin NV, where temps in the 115+ degrees are almost routine. Never noticed a difference,

I always crack my windows and try and park in a shaded area during hot days. Also cracking the window helps cool the interior faster when your a/c is first turned on as well as keeps the interior plastics and fabric glues from getting dried up and plastics from warping. Annoying but in the long run worth it.
