jumpy pully pushy feeling???

1) I mostly drive my car around the speed limit because of all of the cops around where I live, except for when I'm getting onto the interstate.

When I hold a steady speed, say... 40-45, the car gets a little jumpy. Is this being caused by too much/little fuel? I've tried playing around with my settings, but still get the same thing. I also set them to no correction and it still does it. Shouldn't 0% correction run the same as stock?

2) Why would the SAFC II throw a CEL? I just installed an 02 sensor extension to remove my CEL and it was working fine until I installed my SAFC. Any ideas???

Thanks

safcII shouldn't throw any cel codes if it was installed correctly. I see you have an mbc, did you remove your stock boost solenoid? That'll throw a light for sure.

I don't have the MBC yet, so that can't be it. It was originally throwing the CEL because of the downpipe and hi flow cat. I thought I had fixed that with the extended o2 sensor, but maybe not. hmmmm

As far as install, should be ok.

As long as your on stock injectors, leave it at 0%. What does the code say?

I know that my car is doing the same exact jerking execpt the SES light. With everything set a 0% and the low and high throttle set at the same, I'm still getting the same thing. I ran WOT once and pulled all the way into third gear and my car back-fired. I held the accelerator in without moving it at all and the car felt like it was going to die. My cyl. is set at 4 as needed and sensor type is set at karman, so I don't know what is going on. I just disconnected the S-AFC 2 just in case. Can someone please respond. My mods are 3" turboback with cat delete, intake, and grounding wires. Can someone please help me.

mine has a slight pushy and pully feeling that i notice when im slowly accelerating. I can notice this starts at a very low rpm and feels sorta funny.. no backfires or anything though. Check your spark plugs.

is it set at 4 cyl with the arrow pointing upward to the right! I would suggest initializing the thing and go from there! make sure you are using pin 58-if you installed it yourself u know what i am talking aout because some people have it incorrect!

What are your spark plug gaps to everyone who has this problem?

Well just to update, I put some miles on my car and seems like the computer had to relearn the new settings, feels better now.

Would I be better off selling the SAFC and getting a reflash?
