Gen 1 Deadspot/Falling on its face under heavy acceleration

If you think any of the nannies are kicking in, you could add those PIDs to the logging to know for sure.

The traction control light should come on if it's kicking in.

You would think... But I can hear my tires howl before a light ever flickers, so not sure how sensitive this system is.

I never have any lights come on whatsoever. It never breaks loose or anything. My truck isn’t supercharged and it’s simply just when I get on the freeway fast or put the engine down to make power. I’ll see if my diablo programmer can log and check to see what comes up.

You could be bouncing off the rev limiter, I don't know what Diablo has it set at but stock is 5,800

No it’s not anything close to the rev limiter. So far I’ve checked fuse 27 (which I’ve relocated) unplugged the gas pedal, ran a tank of seafoam and nothing so far. I may do spark plug wires in the coming weeks to see if that changes anything.

How's the support with Diablo, do they do data logging and revise the Tune if needed?

 

[Canuck714]

I may have missed it, but are you running the stock (updated) Ford tune?

 

[MTF]

That updated Tune Ford released only added a line of code to prevent the tranny from downshifting into first at speed.
No other modification was done.
Didn't help much, if the leadframe is ***** it's going to happen anyway apparently.

 

[Canuck714]

I was more interested if he was on a Diablo tune or stock ford tune

 

[MTF]

Well, you have a good point there, does it do it running the stock tune?
