Post Bad missfires! Help!
Ever since I installed ECMLINK i've been having really bad missfires, almost feels like fuel cut but im not even going into boost and it happens at random times, im not sure if i can post a log on this forum but i have included a link to my thread over on tooners with a cruise log right after the last symptoms. If you guys find something out of the ordinary feel free to comment on either forum, ill be checking it frequently for help..thanks.

what injectors are on your car? remember the chip you have was set for 560 evo injectors, so hopefully you adjusted it to whatever injectors you have

Go in direct access and also reset all the maps to stock. I tuned that for methenol injection. If you can get a log of it misfiring it would help. And a little background info on the car would help too.

Yeah, i dialed in the 450's and switched it back to stock MAF.
I pretty much did all the "basic" settings before I turned it on for the first time.
The misfires happen at really random times, today I drove the car to work and it drove fine without a hiccup. The motor is 100% stock, stock everything besides the internals, which I don't think it matters for my situation. It started acting this way since I installed V3, maybe like you said Sam switching the maps will make a difference.

Did you change the firing order when installing the ECMLink if your on a 95-96 ecu on a 97+ car?

Does it happen more in higher gears?

the log looks fine, minus the fact that i would flatten out the fuel and timing until everything is figured out.


I had the same problem and never knew it till I had a massive amount of load and it turned out to be plugs. NGK copper tops always do the trick with a nice new set of NGK wires.
