BP5 Turbo misfire/running rough issue solved.

Recommended Posts

Straight to the point:

No CEL on just vehicle running very rough especially at idle it would nearly die. Cold or hot just ran like crap. When driving at higher revs it was nearly impossible to notice anything wrong. Read on and you will see why. Scanned the ECU using Launch scanner and nothing. Read on here about these stupid AVCS Filters located in the Bango bolt oil feeds to the Left and Right Bank AVCS solenoids. Very simple to reach each bango bolt from above (17mm socket) and check the filters. The right one had begun falling apart but the left one was munted.Then removed the left AVCS solenoid. Again simple just a 10mm bolt. Sure enough a piece of the filter was jammed in the solenoid holding the solenoid piston in the advanced position (see photo). You can see the mark on the piston where it normally sits when resting. Simply pried the piston back carefully and removed the piece of plastic. Put the solenoid back in and happy days all fixed. Stupid little problem that could leave alot of people running in circles checking spark plugs etc when this is a far easier check. I had tried checking the Solenoid Positions live data with the Launch scanner before pulling things apart but sadly the scanner could not show me this data.

I really hope this helps someone.

      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
