No way!

I told her to call back in 1.5 hours in a half asleep slur.

This morning some asshat from Miami called me up at 3 am for a water leak on one of the RTU's. I was less then pleased.

damn this is a fickle engine.
Why--because the damn thing has a mind of it's own--i guess.
If I didnt have pyrobovinavphobia I would leave in a field of burning cows.

Keep an eye on them gents...

I just happened to look close using cobb logs--I find for periods of about 1 sec i can get lean spikes at two different spots of the rpm band. Maf voltage is ok etc--everything to me points toward a inconsistant injector/s????

Like it used to be: a/f. rpm--- at wot
11.61 5783
11.32 5767
11.17 5840
11.17 5916
11.17 5954
11.17 6006
11.17 6054
11.17 6114
11.17 6158
11.17 6219
11.17 6259
11.17 6330
11.17 6357
11.17 6451
and this continued to 9K


Now I can get a/f's up to the low 13's and low/high 12's then it goes down to the 11's as it should.
Looks like this:
13.38 5185
13.23 5303
13.08 5449
13.08 5532
12.94 5610
12.79 5719
12.35 5867
12.05 5988
11.76 6045
11.61 6142
11.47 6238
11.47 6268
11.47 6348
11.47 6447
11.61 6549
11.47 6690
11.76 6844
12.35 6894
12.64 6963
12.49 7061
12.49 7160
12.49 7302
12.49 7419
12.35 7472

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!
Needless to say--no more heavy throttle for me!
I mean--damn! I only have about 10K miles on the balanced injectors I installed?
I mean this is closed loop running but still, I have a new front o2 sensor, maf voltage is smooth, injector duty cycle not changing unexpectively , injector pulse as expected, system voltage is good--i mean WTF?
It gets tiring.

well -- i will let you know if I find out anything about this wacky a/f's--cause this just aint right!
Until then I guess it is no boost for me--sigh

Houston--did you ever figure yours out?
I am thinking it has to be injector because the way it will correct itself and the injector duty cycle/pulse width really doesnt change.
UNLESS I am having a hiccup in the fuel pump that I dont know about.--but that doesnt make sense.

I get my brand new fuel pump assembly today, after I swap that and it doesnt fix anything I am going to swap back in my old injectors and see what happenes.
