In theory, yes. Your datalog shows some severe swings between rich and lean with the control system chasing it. Just based on the rpm data alone I would think neutral switch, but although I've never seen a datalog of a bad neutral switch the control system behaviour is not what I would have expected. It's possible that there may be more than one thing going on, but thats just a wild guess.

Yes, i'm also not sure about the rich/lean swings because they aren't corresponding to the trims. There may be something else going on, but he needs to check things one at a time. But also, it's hard to stare at that log and and judge much at 30 samples a second...

PCM?
i'm changing out the whole ignition this week, i notice in the morning it is not as quick to start up(sounds like misfires), and its been giving me a hard idle after i've been driving for a whole. an no i'm not having any hot start problems. so i assume that rules out compression issues?

so today, i was searching online about ways to find a vac leak, one way was to use a cigar and blow smoke into a vac line and see where the smoke comes out. guess what? after doing that i found the leak after all of these months... coming from the SSV it was not bolted on tightly and i can visibly see the gasket..smoke just poured out of that area!! man i'm soo stoked.

Congrats on fixing this dude. The cigar thing is a pretty awesome tip. Didn't you have this issue before replacing your ssv though? Was the gasket busted both before and after you replaced it?

not really but I quit smoking cold turkey after 15 years so I only smoke them on rare occasions.

correct me if i am wrong, but that's why they called it base map, just to make sure that you can run your car. some base map lean and some of them rich. that's why you are not supposed to boost it...you should wait for MM to tune your car...then it will be different...

gotcha. i've been running that map based upon the assumption that its supposed to be rich. so even now that the car is fixed i'm just a little paranoid. so i'm trying to run through all of the problems and fixed them before tuning again. considering that i may have to renew my sessions.

On boosted applications, avoid going into manifold pressures above 2 or 3 PSI until after you have completed the procedure for your first calibration submission.
If you have a boosted application, avoid the boosted ranges to the best of your ability until after you have received your customized calibration.
