Following up on this thread. Took the car to Steve at Powertrain Dynamics today. He is very knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. Thanks for the suggestions to him, and I highly suggest anyone who needs a tune to give him a call.
After about 40 minutes of us talking about the history of the car, what I’ve done, and what I expect out of it, I explained how the car has never completely felt like it has the guts that I think it should. So he jumped in and started doing his thing. He noticed quickly as well the car was flat, the fuel tables were going out of wack and the computer was trying to make wild adjustments when in closed loop. So he hopped out and sprayed some water on the headers and 2 were cold. He pulled the plugs and they were firing, but no fuel. I kick myself because of all the things I checked and replaced, I didn’t check the injectors, and that’s a no brainer. He thinks that since the MEFI doesn’t have a “learning” capability that when it wasn’t seeing proper fuel flow, it was popping, sputtering, trying to make the adjustment, and just killing the motor. That would describe my condition to a tee. So while it could’ve just been a couple injectors and be on my merry way, I had to jump through the hoops to get here. The positive is that I now have a solid computer with the tune-ability and data logging that this car should have which is great.
I’ll throw a new set of injectors in it and take it back to him hopefully next week and have him finish the tune. Will follow up with results
