I'm having a bit of a chore figuring out the cause of a rough idle, and slight miss at part throttle with no load.
The ScanMaster is reporting the following at idle:
MAF: between 4 and 5
O2: moves a lot between 00 and 700's, but usually around 500's to 700's
TPS: .44
IAC: between 10 and 20, higher when warm, but has been 00 at times
INT: 128
BLM: 134-137
Don't recall the LV8 (low) or cc numbers.
The BLM, while higher than I'd like, seems to be within the acceptable range. RPM at idle is aorund 800. It just idles rough and the exhaust smells a little rich. Off-idle throttle response is good, no stumbling.
At light throttle and light load, up to approximately 2000 rpm, it seems to be missing, also when coasting it misses and the O2 skips around between almost 00 to 700 or so. Seems to run fine under load, and at WOT it pulls well with never any more than a 0.2 KR, usually 0 KR at 17-18psi.
I don't have a vacuum gauge, but I'm considering swapping my boost gauge for a vacuum/boost gauge. I checked for vacuum leaks using carb cleaner, but was unable to detect any. Also made sure all hoses between turbo, intercooler, up-pipe and TB are tight.
I'm using a good coil pack and module, R43TS plugs gapped to a tight .035, new AC Delco 8mm wires. As I mentioned the missing is not under load or WOT, just under no load or light load at lower rpm's.
So what else could cause the rough idle and low speed miss? Malfunctioning PCV, compromised intake gasket, possibly an exhaust leak?
Thanks,
