Drove in the the city yesterday and notice 6 knocks when I was going up a steep bridge. After that I didn't notice anymore. Would going up a steep hill cause more knock since its putting more strain to the motor? On level roads the most I've seen was 2 knocks during 50-75% throttle.

Yesterday I noticed going up a (who knows this a guess) 30% or so uphill grade for a split second in fourth gear at around 3500 rpm at maybe 50% throttle I saw a 5 count that quickly ping'd into a 4 count before I shifted to 5th gear.

That was the very first time I saw a 5 count and it was on an uphill climb

I think this is a good ???.........(poor COBB they must be like...."before you had the AP your car probably hit 10's and 15's on knock...and now you're crying about a 5" )....J.K.

I'm also having the same issue with fuel cut, I ran stg2 cali with a catless tbe for 2 months and not a single issue. Not even knock, now I've hadded cobb intake, ams i/c, walbro fp, meagan o2, i/c piping, now I get a bunch of knock up to 6 counts @ wot. I was expecting this by the way and I will be getting pro tuned and adding cams. This issue does seemed to be caused by the o2 housing in my opinion.

I agree. The added airflow from the 02 housing is fudging up the WGDC table, i think.

Christian @ Cobb is working on some test maps for me to see if this goes away, he said he will even work on it during the holidays. Christian is awesome, Cobb has the best customer service in the universe.

That last statement is why I bought the AP.....it is good to have guys like Christian and ultimately Trey stand behind what they sell!!!!

I dont have anything but a TBE and a cobb cone air filter unless whoever had the car before installed an after market o2 housing it didnt look it from what I could tell though

May want to chat with THE EVOLUTIONER as it sounds like him and Christian are working on a plan to resolve this

UPDATE!!!!!!! Christian from COBB sent me a test map to see if it eliminates the fuel cut issue. I installed it yesterday morning right before i went to work. Once I had space I opened up and rpm climbed perfectly to 7k and NO MORE FUEL CUT and zero knock!!!! I continued to test it out all last night and nothing, no hesitation, no nothing.

Christian, your the best!!!!!!!

If anyone is running the stage 2 93 octane and having fuel cut issue like I was please contact Christian. He will hook you up with a test map and it should resolve the issue.

Stay Safe all...out
