hoping someone can help me out with a suggestion................im going up the.......well thats not important but....5000 rpms in 5th gear and i get the hiccups.....then my cruise control light flashes on and off and my check engine light comes on......anyone know whats up with that??? its happened a few times and usually after three or four times of running and turning off the car the lights go back off but this time ive run it for a couple of days with the c/c light flashing and the check engine light on and it hasnt turned off yet??????????

 

hiccups, flashing c/c, and cel if my memory serves me right...I am almost certain you are experiencing a misfire.

go to checkers and ask to borrow the code grabber and read the code off of the ecu. that will tell you for sure if its a misfire.

 

How fast is that?

+1, what is the mileage of the vehicle and some of the recent service history?

might be a bit of boost surge. what engine mods you got? uphill+high gear+high revs=high boost. let hear what you got. if it drives normal and only does it when your ripping it uphill i'd say look at your boost. got a boost gauge?

 

yeah close to 100mph 15lbs of boost close to 60k miles and unknown service history......if it is a misfire how do i cure that problem??? my mods are minor..intake exhaust downpipe thats about it as ar as i know........

 

also...... seems to be running rich also have a little bit of popping going on ???????

 

it will do that without cats

 

if you are running rich and dont know the service history then my guess would be the plugs are starting to foul and cant keep up with the load. thats where i would start. well actually i would ditch your bov if you got one and then check the plugs.

 

even if its the stock bov??? do those eventually go bad?? and would that make my c.c light flash and make my check engine light come on?? and what plugs would you suggest?? thanks

 

^^^stock is a bpv not a bov. stock is fine but aftermarket atmospheric ones cause you to run rich. so you have a boost gauge right? when the problem happens did you look at the gauge to see if it was dancing around?

 

i use ngk irridiums but for your mods the stock ngk's are just dandy. cant remember the part number off the top of my head. the first thing you need to do is get the code pulled so you can find out what cylinders are missfiring and if that is even the problem.

 

60k is the recommended time interval for spark plug changes on twin cam turbo motors with platinum plugs. so, your due for plugs anyway. but, pull the code first.

col ill pull up the codes today thanks for the help.....ill re post when i get the codes

 

well bummer i just went to checkers in kailua and they said that they dont have the thing to check for trouble codes anymore so......anyone know where i can go to have that done??

 

checkers in Mililani I know for a fact has them. I have used a few times in the past.
