During that surge your foot is completly off the gas correct or are you trying to smooth it? That is hell of a surge to be acting like that, what CEL are you getting?

14 and 22 sec is me the rest is it on its own. p0300 just have to clear it

 

[KGBIGCOUNTRY]

Have you been getting a misfire code before the cam? Thinking out loud and trying to get more info to keep my hamster turning.

no i never did. i got this code before the trip this past weekend. called aaron he said it was a common cam code. happens when the idle dropped to low. which its obviously doing. cleared it. and it never came back on the whole drive there and back. just got it back yesterday when the idle dropped.

 

[KGBIGCOUNTRY]

Yeah I have heard of the p0300 being a comon cam code but never had it on either of my 2 cams. Maybe someone with a bit more knowlage on the matter will give advise.

Just jokes man. Just gotta go by feel. Thats how I tuned my mustang until I waited for my Innovate O2 to arrive. Turns out you can get it pretty close without much for monitoring. On a side note my car is blown and has a cam and new heads and it too would fall on its face sometimes when I would come to a stop so I would have to play with the throttle to get it going and stay at an idle at lights. what we did (different on a ford EEC IV system) is calibrate the TPS. The car was not recognizing that the throttle was dropping all the way to idle and the fueling was off. What we also did was add some fuel at idle and now it is much better. This could be some food for thought to give the TPS a reset (using the slow full to the floor depress thingy) and if you can with your psc 1 or what not try playing with adding or subtracting some fuel at idle if you can. Sorry if I came off ultra douche but now looking back at it I could have worded it better.

ahhhh the "myth" continues......

That looks a lot like what my truck was doing right after I installed my first ported throttle body with the knife edge

That was just starting it, it did that at every stop and stalled out a few times.

 

[Silverbullet08]

yea it does but i have the stock tb so idk whats going on...

 

[Redtruck-VA]

I originally thought there was a wiring/plug problem, but what I am seeing now looks like a air leak. The PCM learns quickly, this I feel is something else. Keep looking around the TB. I think your close.....

 

[Silverbullet08]

did it again today. first 3 stops are fine and no stalling. after that i have to give it gas or it will stall out when i come to a stop...

 

[KGBIGCOUNTRY]

How close are the first 3 stops from your house and im guessing the truck is not warm by then?

 

[Silverbullet08]

yea that might be it. they are close

 

[Off_Road_Teacher]

Nick, I sent that part out to you. Should be there Saturday.

 

[Silverbullet08]

Sweet thanks Jason!

 

[Off_Road_Teacher]

No problem. Let me know when it gets there.

 

[Silverbullet08]

[Off_Road_Teacher]

The truck is learning.
