Default

BTW, S4drifter updated my chip right before swapping with me.

Default Try it in 4th. Run up to 2500 and punch it. If it tries to repeatedly over/under (say 2 or 3

times) then its like my problem was. If I kept the revs up above 4500, no problems.

Default

If it just started doing it with no reason, its time to look at mech or sensor problems.

Default Before going complex, start with the basics, like a check of your TBB

or even better, an intake pressure test.

Default I'm too lazy to take mbc out. Even if it didn't, it is still the same problem.

Pleae post logs so Todd will stop doubting us!

Agreed! Mine did it from day one and everything possible was checked out.

Default Todd's seen my logs from when it was acting crazy. I'll see if I still have some of them. But my

logs do YOU no good, since you'd be making a diagnosis by analogy. You and Pig need to do my little test.

Default Who are these "several people"?

Read what Troy is posting in this thread.

He did not have the same issue as you describe, and his issues went away with a chip update.

(IIRC, he may have had a problem with the encrypter socket, as we simply swapped that out with the same program).

Default Yep, it was the socket for sure. Remember we even put *several* new proms in and it still

did it. God I'm glad that weird frickin' problems gone.

BTW did you get my last email? I hope I wasn't bugging you with all that crap.

Default I think that is my same problem. The person I got the chip from updated before trading.

I can't remember every single one since they posted on AW about their problems all randomly. I know that s44my30's is using an mbc now on X because of the problem as well as Mike and I. Several others have posted about the problem that I cannot remember. There are about 10 of us. I am hoping they will speak up.
