Default Accel 6 DFI Help

Friend of mine has a SBC with the DFI system, and when you rev the throttle real fast and get out of it, it back fires out the intake. car revs up fine if you do it slow and drop it, even semi fast, but when the "pump" table is activated, it back fires. i even maxed out the tps and map tables and it STILL is too lean and back fires out the intake. im really freakin lost. its been on a dyno, car was fine, over the winter, now it back fires out the intake, nothing in the setup has changed. PLEASE HELP!

What is your timing doing? Did you put a timing light on it? You young fellars probably don't even know what a timing pointer looks like.

no, hes the one that taught me what a timing light was. hes the old school guy, im the ls1 guy who pisses him off cause i went 11.5 with a stock motor and hes yet to see 11.5 with his monstrous bad *** sbc.


i did some research and some people with this problem actually had to send the unit back to accel so i can be repaired. *roll eyes* this is gonna suck.

Too funny...

Seriously, it sounds like a timing issue more than a fuel issue.

There are 2 or 3 tables that have to do with rapid changes in MAP...you know replacements for accelerator pumps and power valves. I have a high performance 406 with holley 950 port injection and The rate of increase needs to be really steep for a large cammed engine that flows a lot of air. With the ls1 we have the MAF to tell the computor to dump in lots of fuel but with SD you have to get the values high enough to keep it from going lean.

I would check timing at idle and at 3000rpm to make sure it is following the spark map.

Then new plugs - check wires, rotor and inside cap.

Then play with the Accelerator maps. Holley has some flow charts in the manual that are worth following, for different rates of throttle opening.
