Since I had the 416 LS3 installed in the car I've been chasing a few problems:
1) a clunk in the steering from a stop. Inner tie rods? the steering feels a little odd, I already replaced the PS pump and drained/refilled fluid with new. Problem still exists. 2) RPMs drop when steering goes to full lock in both directions and if I don't feed it throttle the engine will die (still dies regardless sometimes). Rarely- but also rev matching on down shifts coming to a stop (no steering input) the RPMs dip just below 500rpm and then they come back up to idle..has died a couple times. Or an alternative to low RPM is high RPM idle after to coming to a stop from rev matching down shifts (sometimes without downshifts). It will idle around 1300 then after being stationary for ~3 seconds it drops back to the 800/900 idle. 3) Throttle cable on the NW 96 TB is loose causing a lag in the throttle input, how do I adjust this? Any help or input? |

I have to agree that some of your issues are due to the tune. I chased similar idle issues with my tune. Seems like adjusting the idle decay helped? Who did your tune?

Who did your tune? CMS in so cal, i think they rushed through it because they were very busy and short handed around that time. I have an AFR gauge and its solid 12.5 at WOT...but that doesn't help when under 2k in parking lots (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) This post has been edited by Chris Ronson Jr: Jul 7 2012, 02:09 PM |
