hi i have noticed recently when im driving my ss its really surgy on take off and also just driving? i have a cam and i no it will be a little different from a standard ss but any ideas as to wat it could be... also with driving it and it gets surgy if i put my foot down a lil i get a back fire
Can anyone help
Check your plugs and leads
Got new leads and plugs are still good
It is tuned for the new cam right?? just wanted to check as you didnt mention it and thats where there could be an issue
Im assuming it been tuned right
It had the cam and mafless and otr cai when i bought it
O2 sensors
That could probably be causing the back fire
I would say it's not the tune if it's only recently started happened and the car has been running fine before.
Any errors logged?
Dunno bout errors how woukd i check tht
Only asked about the tune cause its usually mentioned but i didnt realise you hadnt done the work
SOunds like it could be an O2 sensor... bloke at work had his vy ss run badly due to a clogged fuel line so might wanna check your fuel filter as well
Well i got a diagnostics computer put on my car today and my o2 sensors are fine i dont no wat else it could be
also with today the errors logged were air flow meter but there wont be one as it has been maffless tuned and also said it is running rich? so could this be kinda flooding it and then causing the back fire?
fuel filter might be full of crap aswell just a thought![]()
I dont no how to get the fuel filter off and i checke my plugs as they were supposedly done and they were filthy
did it start doing it after yo fiited the new leads/plugs?
mine use to do the same. surging and back fire. hooked the computer up and came up as a missfire on #2.. checked the lead on #2... it wasnt pushed on all the way.
i'd check all the leads are clipped on properly.
want to see more then a typical commodore fitted with an exhuast, then check my thread out... link broken cuase i dont own a tuff car, i just made it up...
I havent changed the plugs yet but did the leads and it did start happening after i did them
all my leads are on clipped on properly so hopefully its my spark plugs i bought some 4 electrode bosch platnium plugs today
Could my timing be out possible
It will be your fuel filter, replace it.
Cant get it undone to replace dont no how to
