Choke with Edlebrock SC on E85
I had my car remote tuned and it gets a choke occasionally around 3k rpm when accelerating after shifting gear. For instance, shift gear, engine speed drops to 2500 rpm, accelerate smoothly until 3000~3500 rpm, choke, back to normal. I tried to switch to 91 map, still happened. Just wonder if it happened to you guys as well and seeking for a solution.

Looks a bit fuelling related to me - goes too lean to make power. MAF appears to spike as well in that region, not sure why though.

you really need to change PI injectors if you keep using e85 with that boost
DI opening time is too high over 7ms and you are getting spark just 0.5ms after end of injection. That's very dangerous i would upgrade fuel pump also just for safety the spike doesn't seem to happen to MAF voltage, so it must be maf scaling related, like as the tuner bumped up the scaling in that voltage zone |
Thank you so much for your responses. I'm not a car guy but let me give you guys some more background. The dyno was done approximately 2 weeks after the car was tuned, and during the dyno session the shop owner told me the car was running lean in high rpm, but base on the reading he believed the injectors still have room to play with. I spoke with the tuner and he suspected the AFR reading on the dyno machine was not calibrated right and he also suggested me to get the dbox to smooth out the power curve.
I was suspecting it was fuel related too but my confusion is why it only happened in the 3-4k rpm range. If it was a fuel supply problem shouldn't it be more observable in high rpm? I'm going to do some more logging today and post it. |
well, 0.5 ms end of DI to spark is totally dangerous, if your tuner is ok with that, i don't know what else to say

Get larger injectors and better fuel pump. You can do boost or E85 on stock injectors. Not both.
|
I would talk to your tuner.

My tuner is quite responsive and ask me to provide log when it happens, but I wasn't able to duplicate the problem in the past few days. However, I did a 4th gear pull tonight and below is the log, if possible can you guys please enlight me on to read those data and what shows the sign of problem? Much appreciated!
