hesitation in 1st

[Jovan Ceklaj]

Me too    don't know what it is. what does ur A/F gauge say?

nothing out of the ordinary, but that thing is pretty useless anyways. I've been checking logs for knock and timing and it shows knock at 4000 in first yet not in any other gear.  It is most likely the knock sensor, but I haven't had much time to diagnose.

Jack, the first diagnosis for something like this is usually plug wires, so you may want to look into replacing those.

do you have a fuel pump?

[Jovan Ceklaj]

I have a poopra pump

[Ryan Clark]

I'm getting this as well. It started out when it was getting cold out about 3 weeks back. I downshifted to third (for fun of course) and just hit fuel cut. From then on It hesitates in first around 4grand and sometimes in 2nd. I turned down the boost and 3rd,4th,5th seem fine.


Oi. I also am having to listen to the lifter tick ! But I'm redoing my suspension tomorrow !

[Mike Schmid]

What's your log say?  Sometimes I get huge spikes of knock in first and nothing in the other gears.  Mine doesn't buck or anything though.  Maybe it's something to do with that...?  I don't have much for ideas on this one.

[Ryan Clark]

I need someone to log me! But I will check my plugs again today.. they're relatively new but ya never know.


I'm also picking up a front mount today ! Wooo

If you're confident in your tuning

You can unscrew the knock sensor from the block and ground the body with a wire.

Then do a couple pulls

If it's gone you can blame it.

However if your motor is TRULY knocking it will blow up

Either way though, you figure out the problem.  :laugh:

Damn knock demons.

water injection is the Wizard that bans the knock demons to an alternate dimension.

huge boost leak. Fixed it with a non cheap silicon connector.  Car pulls so hard I shit myself.  I also lowered today.. good shocks and springs. It looks great and rides great. I will post pics in the pics section tomorrow.

always a plus when your car can cause spontaneous bowel movements

Could it have somthing to do with your fuel sloshing around during the weight transfer? Try pulling out the pump assembly to make sure everything's tight.
