Had a quick question about choking on deceleration.

Tom,

That's the reason I asked about mods. DFCO is usually disabled in re-done cals because of stalling on modded motors.

I have always had this issue:....Upon releasing the gas pedel and allowing the car to slow itself by the gear with no brake on..and after a bit of deceleration at high rpm's its starts to choke on itself and sputter..all this goes away with a minimal amount of gas pedal.

Any ideas??

Dempsey,

Check your MAP hose. If it's a soft rubber hose replace with rubber fitting/hard plastic (whether OEM or fabricated).

Sounds like DFCO to me, esp with a touch of throttle correcting the "issue".

The stock calibration calls for enabling DFCO at 1500rpm and disabling at 950. So your idle is set right at about the point the ECM is looking to exit
DFCO. Does it feel like its oscillating? Moving the TPS to 1.95% open takes it out of DFCO. Does that sound like what's happening to you?

Thank you Dom! I just learned something new. I had no idea about DFCO and modded motors.


I wonder is DFCO related to the backfiring under compression braking that seems to crop up on LT5's with headers?
