Tune problem?

Cricket · October 13th, 2008, 10:31 AM

Alright on my 04 GT it doesn't seem to like my tune at low rpms when I accelerate harder than normal.

It sounds like a diesel. Anybody know what the issue could be? I was thinking that my timing might be a little off with a mixture of my a/f being off. It's only at low rpms, and only lasts for about a second like not enough gas is in my motor for that brief second, and then it's fine.

too much timing would be my guess...

I emailed a local shop, and hopefully they email me back soon, but I'm thinking of just bringing it up there to see whats goin on, and have them smooth it all out.

You said it was desieling, and that typically means way too much timeing.

I have a feeling it's more than just my timing though, but I do know that is one of the issues.

Frank from DTP says it sounds like detonation.

I'm trying to get everything ready for when I go in to have it re-tuned.
