what should I do?

GT33 · May 15th, 2009, 10:29 AM

Hey everyone, as most of you know I made the thread about all the problems I'm having with my car. Now my car is running bad rpm hanging idle all messed up and the is poping through the exhaust. Now I can't get hold of my tuner I call everyda ans he is neve there. So should I keep trying or just go to bama and get three tunes for $185 ?

If your mod list in your signature is correct than it'd be a relatively easy tune for someone to write.

I'd let Bama do it since you're running the Diablo Predator. Doug does good work and he's the only person I recommend for Diablos ...

why not start with one tune from a different tuner and see if that solves your issues. you can always order additional ones.

Agreed. I forgot about that aspect of that in my post. I'd only order one tune to see if it fixes it. Maybe it doesn't even fix it and it's not a tune aspect. It could be mechanical, it's more than likely mechanical. How long did you have this tune before you had these problems pop up?

The problem you described sounds like something is broken... It doesn't sound tune related, especially if the problem is getting worse. Just my 2 cents.

Could it be a bad COP?

I doubt it, if he still has that metallic tick sound too, unless it is arcing to ground so badly that it sounds like a tick which IS possible, but I wouldn't think it would sound like a metallic ticking.
Op, in the dark with the engine running(garage), pop the hood and look to see if one of the COP's is making a spark anywhere. If it is, that could be why the O2 is throwing a code due to a rich condition from no spark making it to that cyl. Be careful not to get close to the spark while it's running... if you do...you won't do it twice! lol It could also be arcing beneath the upper part. you could remove them one at a time and see if the car runs any differently. If you remove one and there is no difference, then that's your bad one.

In retrospect, that could very well be the problem... I edited my previous post to help him diagnose it.

A COP could very well be the culprit. I'd at least pull it in the garage and see before I did anything else...

What is a COP?

ROUSH STAGE II · May 15th, 2009, 02:38 PM

A coil on plug. It's what attaches to your sparkplugs.
