Okee dokee.

Turbolink 2.13.

I was getting bad data due to my power inverter.

Now, running off of the laptop battery, things are much better.

However, I am getting bad data on WOT runs.

The problem seems to be just before 3rd gear.

I have 5 print screens; one from each of 5 WOT runs. 4 out of the 5 have bad data just before 3rd gear. Only one does not.

My electrical system is sound. Good grounds, etc. Car seems to be 99% in tune, according to GPS, 02 volts, MAF GPS, Battery voltage, etc.

Any ideas?

TIA!

It could be the TCC solenoid locking up causing grounding problems.

Basically, I've seen some signal "drift" (the ground goes from zero to basically 1 volt potential) with a bad TCC solenoid and occasionally with a brake switch. Really weird ... Bob Bailey also has told me that the quad driver in the ECM can be flaky (and is related to the above).

The other thing to check is wires at the back of the pass. side head (are they being stretched at WOT?)

Thanks Ken.

FYI, if you want to see it, I copied the screen shots to a zip file and copied it to the support forum over at turbolink.com...
