    Default Some turbo/tuning knowledge help

    Just got my jeep back from the shop that did an install for me. They also tuned it. But immediately it started having issues. Intermittent issues.

    Mainly Limp mode when parked at idle, in drive but full break at idle, and in reverse either stopped or slow rolling. Also got limp mode when shifting from 3rd to 4th at 4500 rpm. If I manually put it in 5th gear and ran the rpm past that point, no issues. and when normally driving, zero issues that I notice.

    Attached is a code scan after initial start where limp mode came on.
    Also attached is some data logs. I have no idea how to interpret the values on the data logs. But I do see patterns. The LTFT is crazy looking compared to youtube explanations of what it should be. And the STFT is also odd. The short term starts off in the negative and once limp mode comes on, it corrects itself to 0.0~. I also notice the TPS shows a value. I plan to recalibrate that tonight using the key method.

    Thanks for any insight. I am talking with my tuner to solve the issues. But I like to have multiple inputs just in case.

    Cracked plug maybe? I have seen that same behavior before when working on my own car. Cracked a spark plug when loading the headers. Did they change the plugs?

    As a matter of fact, last minute, they did. Hmm. Other than pulling every plug, is there an easy way to tell? If not, looks like I know what my plans are tonight.

    No help on the time here, but I’m curious how it feels now with the twins?

    I haven't got into it really heavy yet. Mainly due to the fear of breaking something with the current issue. But at 25-30% throttle it pushes hard. The slow shift due to stock trans sucks and from a feel perspective, really limits the over all impact. But it is a noticeable difference. We picked up 140hp to the wheels at 7.5lbs of boost. Potentially, that may be with an issue. So we shall see.

    Is the fuel system boost referenced or does a second pump come on or anything?
    are the o2 sensors plugged into the correct locations?
    A gun is like a parachute. If you need one, and don't have one, you'll probably never need one again.

    all valid questions. And honestly, I have no freaking clue at this point. The shop and the guy building the car does a lot of turbo vehicles. And his work was highly recommended in the mopar crowd down here. Construction and materials looked good. He said he made the tune by doing several driving scenarios shift point wise and then on the dyno. I will be in contact with him tonight and make sure I ask a ton of questions.

    I do know that he bypassed a few sensors, like the one that goes into the intake. And programmed in a fixed value set.

    It is unlikely they are cracked if they did them after header install. It is hard to tell and you have to pull the spark plug boot. They usually crack on the ceramics, you will see faint gray lines on the white part of the plug. I looked on Google and there are a bunch of pics. A tiny line on it is all it takes.

    Oh, and if you log it, you should be able to separate out the misfires by cylinder. That should tell you where to look. If they are all in one, that should be a pretty big clue.

    That's good info. I have the shop coming to my house tonight. Pulling the plugs is a nightmare on this vehicle. Most of the coil packs are mounted below other accessories that have to be removed to even get the bolts out. but on the couple of cylinders I checked, they looked clean and new.

    The tuner said that the data logs, which I linked above, shows it running rich. So he thinks an injector is stuck slightly open. But the vehicle was running flawless prior to install and tune. And I did a sea foam treatment 2 weeks prior to taking it into the shop for the work.

    I will update with what we find tonight. Thanks for all the input and help.
