I think I have a detonation problem. When I drive my car, go through 1st gear fine take it to about 6000 or so, shift to second hit 4500, here a loud Bang (like a hammer), and the RPMs back off.
I read a thread I found on here about Prei-gnition and Detonation. I seams like it is detonating. "... an engine running at full throttle may be happy due to a rich WOT air/fuel ratio. Throttling back to part throttle the mixture may be leaner and detonation may now occur... ."
My I don't know why it would do this. I just recently installed an EVO III 16g, and it's only running at 10psi, so I don't think the injectors would be running at max.
Here are a few things I've noticed:
Boost is @ 10psi
Air/Fuel Gauge Reads rich at WOT (I didn't get a look at it when i heard the noise)
CEL on (Due to TPS malfunction)
I think the TPS is telling the ECU my throttle is, we'll say 1/2 open, when it is WOT. Which would cause the mixture to be lean and cause it to detonate, I guess. Does the MAF sensor also have something to do with the amount of fuel being supplied?
If anyone had any idea what's wrong I would appreciate the help.
