Car cuts off

FaZeBG · 04-06-2021, 08:11 PM

Just got my cam installed a few days ago and whenever I’m driving and come to a stop or pull in some where my car just shuts off. Is there any reason for this? It drives perfectly fine but say if I go to a stop sign or pull in a parking lot the engine just shuts off. I think the word is stall. Any help on this? Car idles at around 900-950

How big of a cam and are you manual or auto?

Most likely in the tune, did your tuner do a street tune or just the Dyno tune?

I got a tsp vvt 3 cam and I’m 8 speed auto. 2017 SS. And I’m not sure which time he did but I believe he did a remote tune so I’m guessing it was street

Datalog the car shut off send that log to the tuner tell him to fix it... If he can't get a new tuner....

A remote tune means the tuner was not sitting in the car. You were the one uploading and downloading the tune files and emailing them back and forth to him. A street tune is where the tuner physically drives the car while datalogging and then adjusts the tune as needed to dial in all the performance parameters including idling. Dropping idle and stalling is 100% on the tuner. If you did do a remote tune take "that1guy's" advice. If not take the car back to the tuner and say "fix it!".

Good luck and keep us posted.

Something I observed when tuning Honda B-Series motors with big cams and lots of overlap was that the motor required much more fuel at idle. Adding more timing at idle also helped. Definitely on your tuner to correct the issue.

Ok thanks y’all ima tell him to fix it but I’m like 90% sure he did a remote and street tune because he had my car for a while and also kept me updated saying he was trying to get the drivability good for me since the actual person tuning my car was not him. Either way I spoke to him and I’m getting it fixed this weekend he about 2 hours away so we agreed for me to data log everything and send it to him for fixing and I guess he’s gonna send that data to the tuner and etc..
