I do not have an IAT hooked up yet either.... guess that could possibly be an issue, it affects ALOT of tables but I dont see it causing this horrible backfire...

never tred to clear the code and see if it that worked but I bet your right, ll try it...


so are you suggesting the DBW is the source of the problem?
Im my case it was throwing a code for dbw and going into "reduced engine power" displayed on the dash. I would assume the DBW has all kinds of safety features built in so the commanded throttle blade position is never different then actual. I just turned it off and put a cable throttle body on the truck.

If i cant get it figured out soon im going to go to cable also.... kinda wanted DBW tho since itll be easier to do cruise control in the 69 lol...

I would get a workin IAT on the car. Im sure its not a huge deal for what the air actually is, but it gets stated many times that a car with fail values from an IAT can sometimes be doing weird things.

Post the tune if you want real help there- totally understanding that its not anywhere near done since u cant make a pass in boost =)

The strange thing is how one pcm can be picky compared to the next lol!


Thats the plan is to get the IAT hooked up tonight and different set of coils.... Clean up the NA part of the tune quick.... dont think its going to help but hell im game for trying anything at this point lol

Have you checked to see if it is blowing the throttle blade shut under boost?

How would u check that?

Either the blade shuts and causes the backfire or it backfires and causes the blade to shut...

Either way when it happens i lose All throttle control.... Pedal does nothing but motor stays running.
