2014 5.3 backfire issue
Posted: Mon May 05, 2014 2:27 pm
Been working on a solution for this for more than a month, On a wide open throttle run truck shifts from 1 to second at 5600 rpms and backfires, same thing from 2nd to 3rd. This happens on a custom tune, and the diablo 91/93 tune. I've even gone so far as to add octane booster and I'm using top tier 91 octane fuel
Did not notice this in the beginning, but have had the third cat removed and that's when I could hear it. I believe it was masked due to the third cat. I've checked and rechecked the air intake (stock) and nothing is apparent.
My question is, does anyone else experience this with third cat delete. Lew cannot see any event on the logs.
Next question, in the tuning parameter- Can the fuel cut be toggled off in the torque management? I think it's cutting fuel and it subsequently is purging and causing a backfire. Just my wag. Other than that, truck runs like a beast.
Any help is appreciated,
Mike
