Ok. Got the car out finally and I’m determined to find the issues that have plagued me for the last few years.
No code Idle misfires and a hesitation as soon as I step on the gas. The idle misfires are still there as they have been as is the hesitation. Hesitation is sporadic and not every time though.
Forscan confirms the misfires. My butt confirms the hesitation.
Would these show up in logs? If I got an MPVI3 or RTD3 and logged through VCM would that help in diagnosing this?
Is there any way the nGauge can monitor misfires?
Is there any tuning device that can as well? I’m looking for something - anything that will pinpoint or at least point me in the direction to fix this.
I’ve read a lot about the PCMTech and wondered if their software could isolate the issue. I’m confused on the pricing structure though. After reading the big thread on it, page 18 says like $200 but the website directs me to something way more money lol. Could be just me though…
I’m at the point now where I’m contemplating getting a new tune from a different tuner just to find out if that corrects it.
I don’t know if this is tune related or mechanical. Nothing I’ve done so far has solved anything or provided any hint to the issue. I have a different thread for idle misfires and hesitation that explains what all I’ve done.
I’d like to pull the injectors but dread having to do this as this was the single hardest thing to do on the install of the Edelbrock. The job would be large but I would gladly do it if I knew that was the issue. Is there any way to know for sure or at least with a high probability that they are the issue? There’s a few places close by that professionally clean and flow test injectors so getting that part done is easy.
What would you do? Spend the money for a new tune to “see” if that is the issue of where would you start to diagnose this? New tune with device in Canadian funds is likely about $1500. Again, if I knew this is the fix I’d be all over it.
Are there any diagnostic tools out there that could realistically tell what the issue is? I’m with Lund, so even if Ford hooked up to it, would they be able to read what the car is doing? There are no real ford performance shops that are trustworthy to have a look and diagnose. I think what I would end up with is a $1000 bill and an excuse they couldn’t find anything wrong.
So that’s where I’m at.
Looking for diagnostic information or tool that can help me find the problem.
Sorry for the long post. I know some of you have helped already in this but I’m still back at the same place.
Thanks in advance!
