Question RRM Piggyback questions/problems..

just got the piggyback version 2 from zlancer. Thanks by the way!
okay well i put it in, went through the learning period, and when i was reversing last night, i had a hard time keeping the car from jerking back and forth. Was as if i was to press the throttle and less off it repeatedly. Is this normal? I also feel a similar thing sometimes when i accelerate in second gear from below 1500 rpm but it only jerks once not repeatedly like in reverse. Help please. Thanks in advance.

The jerk thing going forward is something you will get used to. It's only the piggy taking its time to process the info before sending it to the ecu. At some point you'll know exacly where and how to shift your gears and avoid the jerk.

Sometimes with mine... off the line the car goes forward but feels like it's going to die, then all of a sudden the rpm goes up, the wheels start spinning and the power is just ridiculous(given it's a Lancer).

On peice of advice. This is something I've noticed over the past few weeks. Let the car idle for a minute or two every single time you start the engine. Then take off. I don't know what's happening during the idle time, but if I start the car and take off right away, the power curve is slugish. If I start the car, have a smoke then take off, the power is there more than ever.

oh so its like a delay from the piggyback...okay, also my idle revs up to like 1200 and sometimes dips to around 500 with the ac on. Im not talking the normal 800 when condenser is on, 600 when off thing. Its realy random feeling and very rough. any ideas?

Most likely the same idle issue most people have been experiencing with the Piggy Ver.2.

Makes me wonder why RRM ditched Ver1. I know the new piggy's got a faster processor and 1 less thing to connect, but still.
