I'm a bit stumped.
Engine:
Toyota 4AGE, MS3X v1.5.1, cop, turbo (internal gate disconnected but makes couple psi).
Previously:
In October had this car out at a track day running the engine in and all was gravy. No problems. Pull through full throttle to ~7000rpm by end of day.
MSQ and MSL included.
Now:
In December, took to a drag day and I could almost always do a decent burnout at staging.
Then when launch, after about 20% throttle the engine just falls flat, as if there's a fuel cut, or lots of timing retard, or similar.
Out of about 12 runs, only 1 run ran good and I don't know why. The good run did a 16.2 or something. Bad runs were as bad as 23 or 30s because I just hobbled it over the line.
Attached log of good run and a bad run, have compared in MegaLogViewer but can't spot anything.
In bad run you can see me hold the throttle and occasionally try more throttle (up to 50%) but the engine doesn't respond.
The log does show very rich on accel at this time and hitting 9s... however the accel enrich was pulled back to way less than October track day amounts and didn't make any effect during the December track day. Even the good run shows it going richer on accel then what it did in October, however 10's rather than 9's hence it moved.
Tried checking over settings in TunerStudio.... tried changing different settings including loading last msq from October track day without any change.
Spark plugs looked okay, but it's a long way at good running condition from end of track to pits.
Changes between track days:
- Wired in: oil pressure, oil temp, fuel pressure, speedo, all confirmed working correctly in TunerStudio.
**By 'wired in' I mean that I put a DIY harness pre-pinned wire back into the DB37 plug for input and then tee'd VREF & sensor ground as required. So both DB37's been apart.**
Wired in: CANH&CANL&VREF&Ground for TinyIOx board and terminated into a plug that's unconnected as TinyIOx not yet mounted in a suitable box /etc.
Wired in boost solenoid, however fuse not in so no power going to solenoid.
Changed relay power feeds for coils/pump/etc to run off a post by relays instead of back to kill switch. Large wire used.
ECU and coil grounds disconnected and reconnected.
I don't believe accel enrichment or VE table an issue as went way leaner throughout the day without any effect, I just haven't included a dozen logs and msqs.
I thought maybe ignition power was faulty or had bad joint, but have just had harness out and can't find anything.
Thought maybe bad ground for coils, but it looks and feels fine (not loose).
The tune is not marvelous as it's a fresh build and vehicle is not street legal so I can only adjust on the days, run hefty ego and take care, October track day logs are good, just December since all the changes looks bad.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.
