So I was out with a few friends/cars last night messing around on some back winding roads. Just enjoying the roads before the winter storm comes tonight. But I was going WOT and at around 6K+ rpm the car just like shook hard. It felt like the clutch slipped really hard or kind of seamed like an aggressive rev limiter. But one of my friends that was with me says that with the cold weather, I was over boosting and said I was getting fuel cut?

Should that happen?? I only have a TBE

 

If you have a wideband it will tell you if you hit a fuel cut.

Another possibility is the clutch. I have experienced something similar to the noise you described last summer. I was tuning the car doing a pull down a stretch and during 3rd gear. A loud noise (Almost sounded like running over a cattle guard) coming from the engine bay area. It was the clutch.

 

Was it slipping?

 

It then started slipping following that noise. I was currently running the Fidanza 3.2 4 puck in the Evo 8. Damn, I think I've tried ever single plat clutch out there.

 

Dam lol. Well, looks like I might wanna get the wideband sooner then later

 

It's one of the most important gauges you'll use.

 

The only reason I think it's fuel cut other then that my buddy said so, is because when its happening. Like it happened twice... once in first gear and once in 3rd or 4th. aAd both times it was at higher rpm, so if it was a slipping clutch wouldn't it normally happen at around 3200rpm when I get my boost spike aka all the TQ?

 

There are a couple possibilities when it could happen. Grab a wideband and rule fuel cut out first. I don't think you should hit fuel cut if you're on stock boost with a turboback.

 

Sounds good.
Anyone else have this happen?

If your not tuned and running more boost than stock, you will hit the fuel cut.

 

YES!! lol thank you, I don't know how I missed that. My bad


That must be my problem also, thanks.

 

is it mapped

 

needs settings changed in the rom, if you want some help let me know.. no charge for just removing fuel cut. simple 30 second fix. boost cut load & delay needs adjusted.

 

Ya, I'm gonna get all that taken care of in the spring when I get my tune and stuff. Just glad to know my car isn't ****ed up lol
