Popping and Cracking, No power when I hit the Gas
Hey All the dyno's in my area are down for some reason so I traveld 2 hours away to a pcmforless dealer and had him flash my pcm.. got home, stuck it in, and its acting the same way as before the toon except now I have no ses light on LoL.... When I start it up I can rev it and it does pretty good, just has some popping every now and again.. when I pull it to the road and just try to casualy give it gas it surges back in forth like it wants to run but it cant(still goes down the road but realllyyy shitty), when I punch it it acts like something is holding it back.. anyone have anyclue... thinking it might be o2's.. this is a fresh build.. mods are in sig. .... also was wondering, i have a accel coil and a oem opti.. would the coil be to much for the opti?

forgot to hit post on the thread above lol.. but just got in .. put new plugs gapped to 35 and still the same ****... idk wtf it is... only thing i can think of is air/fuel ratio, which pisses me off cawz pcmforless said after they flashed the pcm that itd be ready to drive and go to the track this sunday.. waste of around 250 bucks after gas to go have it done..

I had my car do exactly the same thing, does it pop through the intake when you crack the throttle and rev up but not really accelerate? If so, its bad news
but you need to do a compression check. If yours turns out like mine, you have a burnt intake valve. Not all bad though, just means its time to upgrade those heads. By the way before mine took a ****, I had a dead O2 sensor that was stuck rich and leaned out bank 2 ( likely what killed the valve ). From now on I will stop driving it when its hurt, should have know better. Hope it works out for you
