turbotrana Member 2,586 Member For: 22y 1m 3d Gender: Male Posted 23/10/12 02:42 AM Share Posted 23/10/12 02:42 AM I think this is an FG specific problem with Drive by Wire hooked into the equation somewhere.Below are the Spark Source Values I have been logging. The datalogs shows abnormallity in the way you would expect the spark to operate.When decelerating you would expect to see 18 then 9 when you come to idle. Except sometimes its 18 then 9 for a second then 1 or 0 or 2 then sometimes 4 or 7 or 8 then settles to 9. The idle timing(9) is about 10deg and will spikes on the other maps (up to 40+deg) and causes sh*tty idle.So really only a datalog can tell you if its a similar issue to mine.0 Crank or under speed1 Base2 Borderline3 Torque control4 Pre-ignition6 Stabilized low load7 Cold engine low load8 Idle feedback at minimum clip9 Idle feedback10 Spark set by on-demand self-test15 Output State Control16 Foreground Spark Borderline Clip18 Closed-Throttle Deceleration Spark 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/82495-fg-xr6t-tuner-help-required/page/3/#findComment-1313224 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I have liitle knowlege or understanding of any of this.

This was a simple fix in the end but it had me scratching my head to start with. It wasn't throttle or idle timing related....it was the relationship between various timing tables. The spark source for idle is obviously 9 but that doesn't inform you as to the base spark value :-)If you have to take forum advice to your tuner.......well I won't even say anymore! Plus they aren't likely to listen!As ratter eluded too..... you have to ensure your vehicle is mechanically sound also. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/82495-fg-xr6t-tuner-help-required/page/3/#findComment-1313276 Share on other sites More sharing options...
boost69 Donating Members 737 Member For: 19y 11m 14d Posted 23/10/12 05:14 AM Share Posted 23/10/12 05:14 AM My stock FG does this sometimes when pulling up at the lights, it feels like it's going to stall and then recovers, does not happen all that often but you do notice it when it happens.So im thinking it could be an FG issue rather than the product of your tune.
