Weird misfire issue

Post by OhNoA2.0 » Sat Apr 27, 2013 7:54 pm

Everything is fine up to around 3500revs, then it misfires like hell, kinda feeling like a rev limiter but if I baby it to around 4k, i can floor it again and it's fine. This is on my boosted 02 R/T on MS2V3. I checked to make sure I don'thave my rev limiter or 2step set to that range. Any ideas?

I just don't understand why it ran fine till now. I don't think that's my issue. At least I hope not :/

I should have clarified. It's been running for about a year, it just started acting up yesterday.

Perhaps you can take a data log and post it, along with your MSQ file, the next time the car is acting up.
