Recently my car has been acting up. Here are some symptoms of my problem. I'll rev my car from idle till like 3k rpm, let go of the gas and rev it again, it'll hesitate before it starts to rev again. Also, while im driving, i'll shift around 3k and if I dont shift slow, I can feel the engine hesitate again.
The thing is, after the hesitation, the engine seems like it runs fine. It still pulls good up to 9psi. I just changed my plugs, cap and rotor, and oil. The car is untuned, running off of a chipped "NA" ecu(retarded timing from the dizzy to compensate for boost). I would like to say tuning is the problem, but my car has been running fine for a little over a year. Any other ideas???

 

I checked my ignition timing, at idle its at 14degrees, where I had it for the past year.
a friend of mine says it could be running too rich...I don't understand how my fuel could change out of nowhere.

 

You've been running un-tuned for a year?

 

tahah.. holy **** get that ***** tuned...

What the hell are you running for management? AFC hack? I'd say that's your first problem.

I dont see how the fuel maps or whatever it is just changed out of nowhere...it seemed like it was running fine for the first year the turbo kit was on.

 

UPDATE:

I've changed the oil, plugs, cap, rotor, o2 sensor, fuel filter, and put some fuel system cleaner in it. None of those things were the problem. It ended up being a bad missing link. I also did a compression test on it, 145 across the board. Runs like a champ.
