Ignition flickering when slightly press gas

DarkAngelDC5 · Post by **DarkAngelDC5** » Thu Sep 22, 2005 7:06 am

The car struggle for a sec when i press the gas, anyone knows why? Could that be ground, spark plug or ignition coil problem?

powerwise modification of the car:
IPS K2
Stock mod airbox
DCRH
HKS exhaust
pulley
IMG gasket

EDIT: added calibration

without the calibration the datalog is mostly useless

Looks similar to my "problem". See thread

No answers sofar.
BTW Checking datalogs from others (for instance on the ClubRSX board) I have also seen ignition doing this...

I was also thinking if it could be caused by grounding, but moving the engine ground from the stock location on the intake manifold to the stud attached to the cylinder head as recommended did not make any difference.

What version of software are you using....from Help about....do not say "the most recent version"

I am currently using the beta version 1.2.0.9.
Before that I was using 1.2.0.7 - showing the same thing.

Yes using 1.2.0.9. Got that problem as well even with old versions.

Test again with V1.2.0.9 Zero out the ignition compensation (by gear) and set all the TPS retard values to -100 Also, is there a reason for running open loop?

I tried saving the TPS retard value but it doesn't able to save. Any idea?

I am doing open loop during datalog for tuning the partial throttle

got the same issue - is v9b out yet?

It will still work by putting the value and upload it.

But does TPS retard affect the ignition flickering?

(my CTR with PRA does not have TPS retard...)
