Re: surging while cruising

Good thinking, thank you. I never had a vafc but i have replaced the connector so i did a test of the map sensor reading.

Re: surging while cruising

Because he couldnt figure out what was going on when the car was in front of him, why would he have any idea over the phone?

Re: surging while cruising

Im still having the same problem weeks later. I have check thoroughly and there are no vac leaks. I thought my fuel pressure looked suspect so i replaced the fpr and the pressure looks good now but the problem still exists. I have checked for ignition problems but cant find anything wrong.

Re: surging while cruising

I have not talked to the tuner about it because i dont think the problem is his problem. Maybe im wrong but especially if its something like a vacuum leak it has nothing to do with him.

surging while cruising

I'm having a problem with my car surging while I drive. Its very noticeable on the highway. It gets better when in closed loop but is still there. I have tried advancing timing, a little at a time with no success and adjusting fuel tables makes no difference.
