hey guys so i have the dezod s1 kit with the AEM fic and lately after i was tuned like 4 weeks ago theres been some issues..
the cruising is fine no problems but if i get on it, it wont reach my 6 lbs easily which im set at.. sometimes the AFR (digital AEM gauge) goes really high and then to --- and my boost spiked to 7 once.. when i gas it heavy in throttle or WOT that occurs and then my car doesnt go anywhere at all and all i hear is pop pop pop pop seems like its slowing actually idk whats going on

Does it smell like a go-cart when ur car does that?
----It could be running too rich at wot.

Does the pop pop happen when bouncing off the rev limiter and during shifting?

Maybe possible exhaust mani leak thats preventing u from hittin full boost.

i have an auto so it shouldnt be bouncing off the rev limiter.. i am running rich but why wouldnt it have been doing it before and just lately? i kno i have a small leak in the exhaust mani but why wud my afr go ---

First you should fix your exhaust leak in your manifold. That will slow your spool big time.

tC_2NeR

so wait,

what i got fro your OP is that it happened right after u were tuned right?

im having alot of trouble with my F/IC... are you running a boost controller?

SoFloTC

iTrader: (3)

no boost controller.. no started happening like 3 weeks after tune.

paul_dezod

The POPing sounds like detonation. I would be leary of that happening regularly.

The boost leak, if bad enough could cause the flux in AFRs (dependng on where it is)

You have a 3" exhaust right?

SoFloTC

iTrader: (3)

correct 3" all the way except the dpipe/spipe

paul_dezod

Did it ALWAYS spike since you have had the 3" with the turbo?

SoFloTC

iTrader: (3)

nope just lately .. it used to run fine.. and its not all the time this is happening either.. just sometimes when i take a ride and go WOT its like pop pop pop boost is weird and the AFR goes --- and my car feels really heavy

check for leaks

so i got in the car 2nite and it was hitting boost fine at WOT and everything it started going but then the a/f went high then to --- and the car seemed like it wasnt going anywhere after that

B_Real45

Sounds like limp mode on an automatic..

paul_dezod

Sounds tuning related. Sounds like it's leaning out. Hesitation like that is usually from a lean AFR

enjoithis

do manuals have a limp mode?

yea, its called first gear. lmao

krazylowgsx

take a trip back to the dyno... one pull and you'll know what the problems is!

enjoithis

im not going back to the guy who tuned me.... waste of time and money!

When the AFR gauge goes to -- are you sure your foot isn't coming off the gas? I know to some that might seem like a no brainer but you never know.
