suspect electrics?


paradigm

Recommended Posts

Looking for an opinion on what to do to help problem solve my misbehaving wrx!

(its a my97 wrx wagon auto)

It has never missed a beat apart from say over the last month, were occasionally it would (at low throttle opening) i.e coasting at 50-60kmh, just stop running (in gear-revs drop), and then within a second or two resume its happy driving. This would happen every hour to half hour of driving time.

Now it has become once warm will do its thing and stall completely, then sometimes takes a couple of goes to restart, then continues pattern drives-stops-stalls, while motor is warm. It isn't a splutter like running out of fuel and it isnt losing power to the dash etc, so my hypothesis from searching is that it could be the coilpacks? Or another aspect of the ignition-like it is halting the spark?

Also No cels are showing atm, and it has had an airflow meter issue in the past (cleaned it & it came right)

Any ideas what the next step is? ie get coils checked by an auto sparky? Or something else? Any help appreciated :)

if it had AFM issues and all you did was clean it, I would start there, try to borrow a matching one that you know is working fine.

FYI air flow meters can be reconditiond cheaper than buying a new one if you've got the pre v5 type (v5 onwards are alot cheaper to buy brand new)

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
