I finally got all my mods and got tuned by MELLON. Chris did an excellent job on the tune. I am having a problem though. When I go to shift, let off the gas and push in the clutch, the rpms spike a little bit. It does it especially when I am WOT. I noticed it when I was getting my tune but I didn't really think anything about it. I am noticing it a lot more now. Can anyone shed any light on what my problem may be?

 

i notice it on my car as well...but not when im at WOT. when i going to about 3500 and shifting it jumps up when i push the clutch in.

 

do you have NLTS (no lift to shift) on your rom when you got it tuned? I had that same issue when I had it on my car and it only happened to me when I was WOT because mine was set to only work when i was under a certain load set above 14 psi. It would go up when i shift about 6500 to 6700 and it would taper down if I shift at 6900 to 6700. Other than that I dunno =[ sorry.

 

looks like you are on a stock clutch, if so then you may be kissing it good bye shortly which may be the problem. i know i did when i got tuned.

 

clutch issue, ur staying on the gas slightly and u may not know it, throttle cable is sticking... those r my guesses

 

they guy who has it around 3500 u have the evo 9 throttle hang issue, my friend had it, to the OP i think ur throttle cable may need to be lubed or possibly your staying in it by accident

 

I will check the throttle cable then. Thanks

 

Chabadaaaaa.


so is there anything i can do for that?

 

I thought the throttle stick was tps issue?I was reading somewhere on the ecuflash threads about it,ill try and find it again.

 

is it like your driving around 2800k rpm then give it just a "lil" bit more gas then the rpm spikes if so then that is also whats happening to my car but it feels like boost leak........i dont know.

 

then would you feel the gas pedal get sticky?????

 

clean/adjust your throttle cable and throttle body. you may have carbon build up on your throttle body or a throttle cable binding.

 

It can be solved by adjusting the ISCV values in the ROM. Search "ISCV Throttle Hang" in the ECUFlash forum and you'll find many maps for fixes. This is very common on the IX.

 

oh yeah evo have problem with their trannys crapping out after 40k miles right? does a new radiator fix this problem or would upgrading the transmission and fly wheel be better?
