Car runs leans after a pull 50 percent of the time
Car runs leans after a pull 50 percent of the time after I restart it its fine until another wot, any ideas? Have tried 4-5 different tunes was told to check plugs about 5k on them and sc pulley gap which I believe is at 0.35 ill be checking soon, other than that car pulls hard before the issue occurs, mods are weistec plugs, tcu tune, mbh header, 180 cp, 83 sc pulley, kc, 90mm tb, 550 bosch injectors, tune, any help would be appreciated

I had this issue without throttle body upgrade was putting up a none engine light maf code. Turns out it was a vaccum hose loose in the right hand (facing engine) surge tank. Think its related to that metal hose over the valve cover on that side.

Well I had the issue in which after driving for a bit my fuel trims would go go 25% and the car would idle like a wild bull and buck under deceleration in and in all manners act like the hiccup issue as far as I coukd tell. Rebooting the car would resolve the issue for a while. I am on stock TB. I think if the computer cannot make sense of inputs it crashes. Dealer found the vaccum leak and presto no more wild, spluttering bull mode. Surely one of the 5 tunes had the TB hotfix? Your probably right but he mightve created a leak when doing all those nice mods?

I was hoping it was not the lean hiccup issue mine only does this after i give it wot most of the time, it does not do it randomly driving only after a pull, sometimes if i come to a full stop it goes away until i get on it again, How would this get tuned out on a dyno?

Get a way to monitor short term fuel trims, note any changes in behavior when cars in mucked up mode. Also check your long terms anything over 5 in either direction from 0 is suspect.
Check codes when its still running in mucked up mode. Mine didn't show after a restart or generate a engine light but was there.
