Just pulled my car out of winter storage and after taking it easy for a bit decided to do some pulls. It does great from a standstill powershifting all the way to 5th gear. 11.7 on the afr.
However if I try a 3rd or 4th gear pull it bogs down for a sec and then goes. Afr goes lean. It is fine if I ease into the throttle.
Could this be bad gas?

Perhaps the computer forgot some of it's 'learned' tuning from sitting for so long? I've had similar intermittent behavior after flashing a different tune.

2 or 3 more drive cycles might clear it up.

Gas could definitely be a little funky too.

I figured it out. Not sure how but one of the fpdm in the truck connections wasn't tight. Jiggled it a bit and fixed it. I put some zip ties around it to keep it tight. It is the extra module not the stock one.

I’ve had this same issue. And it wasn’t tune / Lito couldn’t find it. Which connector was it? On the rail or on the pump?

Actually the module in the trunk. I even remounted the bracket because it was a little loose too. Funny because when I hammer it from a standstill it was fine but if I downshifted is when I had problems. All good for now!

Couple 2 years ago had to tow my car home because it “ran out of gas” with more than half a tank. When it got home it started right up ? Wtf? Couple days later it did it again except it didn’t start after towing it home. It turned out to be loose connection at fpdm. Good thing for AAA free tows!

I have the exact same issue. Taking off from the light, no problems. Easing into it on the freeway, fine. But if I have cruise set and down shift for a punch and hit it, it falls on its ass, fuel pressure drops and it bogs for 1-2 seconds. I'll check that module ASAP. Was it just the connection? Module itself was fine?

Yeah just a little loose connection. I hooked up my sct and monitored the fuel pump duty cycle. Started at .5 and then I jiggled it and watched it go to .18.
