WTF is happening? SWAS?

[jordan11b]

Highlighted in yellow. It has no power and feels like its on Launch Control. Is it SWAS? or whats going on. I really dont understand. It goes lean like fuel cut then goes really lean.

[Etipp98]

Why are you going over 6500 rpm? Whats your High rev limiter set at?

[jordan11b]

6700 rpm. Its been doing this more and more. Im on a stage 1 OTS with a MAF cal and made the closed loop transition 20. I did this again while merging on to the interstate. It just hit like it going into fuel cutt

[adlpb]

Are you shifting from 2nd to 3rd on that log? It seems that way from your speed. Also, no reason to go to 6700 on stage1. This isn't a honda (judging from your avatar)

[Etipp98]

Yeah man, maybe you hit the 6700 for a split second and it freaked out. I personally don't go over 6k in my car.

[jordan11b]

check this out i dont know what it is I flashed back to the OTS stage one and nothing different still hitting this fuel cut or what ever it is SWAS maybe idk. It doesnt do it everytime but it has gotten very aggresive. I was trying to race my buddies STI and i was going around a corner. We started to accelerate slightly before the turn ended it was peging out at like 60 mph in third. Wtf is going on. please some one help. Is it SWAS or my tune or what?

[jordan11b]

idk I think it was swas. I unplugged it and i havent had it happen since. I wonder what made the Swas so aggresive tho even on a straight line. Anybody have any insight?

[adlpb]

You still need to answer my question to the original log. It looks like you were shifting from 2-3 and the area you highlighted is the exact time where you shifted, in which there would obviously be a fuel cut. And go ahead and ignore our advice and keep shifting a stock MS3 at 6700rpm, where you have absolutely no power.

[jordan11b]

I honestly cant remeber. But it was the SWAS. Its been unplugged and I havent had it do it since. maybe it going lean was me shifting. BUt it would rich out really bad and have no power whats so ever. I have no clue what made it get so aggresive with it dampening my power. Some times when not even on a curve. I understand on the shifting. I had a 400 hp civic that reved to 9000 rpm. head work ftw. I just keep forgeting to shift lower on this car. ive had it like 3 weeks give me a break.

[Tokay444]

Swas makes the car rich. Not lean.
What's your flat foot shifting rev limiter set to?

[mrmonk7663]

Your car isn't going lean, its going rich post shift. When you shift, it will show the 29.xx...that is normal and happens no matter how you drive when you push the clutch in...after you shift though you are pig rich. Anytime you get into boost while making a turn, even a small turn or corner, the SWAS will kick in. It sucks. 6300 is more than enough rpms...Id shift around 6k myself.

[Tokay444]

It'd shift the second my car peaks power, and starts to drop off.

[jordan11b]

I got the fuel injector cut when not on the gas. Is there any reason swas would get more and more agressive over time? Also is there anyone of tricking the sensor into thinking that the wheel was straight at all times? such as putting a resistor inline? any electrical engineers on here? seems plausible

[Tokay444]

Just unplug it.

[jordan11b]

i did but theres like four blinking lights. im just trying to come up with something useful.

[Tokay444]

You're late.

[helmetface]

lol\\


SWAS

sweating white ass skank

[jordan11b]

how am i late? there is no fix to it?

[Kydizzle]

there should only be one light from disconnecting the swas

[dspider]

stage 1 you say? did you change the map ? cause you are hitting 20 psi in one map and just under 20 in the second . running crazy rich and fuel pressure is in the 700 s . disconnect the battery plug in your swas put battery on and hope for the best , or get a code reader . dont be suprised if you fucked shit up with such low fuel pressure and running that kind of boost .

[Tokay444]

4 lights?
The only light that comes on is the swerving out of control light.

The fix is unplugging the swas sensor.

[Mchart]

There is a fix for SWAS.

Either you unplug it and dealing with the christmas tree lights.

Wait for Cobb to disable it in their software.

Or use a different tuning suite. I know the Piasini tune disables SWAS, but with Piasini you have zero control.

[Spirry]

Stay out of boost until your FP shows up. Almost looks like you went ahead and installed your DP without a pump.

[cheeseencrakers]

would installing a dp without a pump upgrade be a bad thing? if so i am F-ed. my car is doing this exact same thing. i'm new to tuning and this fourm and have vo idea what SWAS means. sorry to sound so pathetic but can someone help me please!

Changing the down pipe causes boost surges. If you have something to tune with, turn the boost down between 2.5k-5.5k rpm. Without pump internals, you are running out of fuel. And if you don't have an access port, you are hitting the load limit.

You need to read all the stickies at the top of all the sub forums for your year/model.

You could install it for a bit, like if you have internals coming soon. I wouldnt push it tho. As for the hella rich moment it is swas. Steering wheel angle sensor. Mine was cutting on me HARD. And it just started doing it recently. Never did i have a problem and now that im almost maxed out it decides to jump in and scare me. I swapped plugs to see if that was the case. I started a thread in this forum about it and posted a log. So everytime i go out now to log or when i feel the need for speed i do the hold down dsc button trick. Hasnt happened since.

EDIT: I know the 2010 car doesnt have the hold down trick. Has anyone in an 11' car tried this. I really am curious if this is a full disable type fix.

You might wanna add APP to your logs and IDC so you can see when your injectors cut off.

[jordan11b]

I dont know how i missed the FP going low all i have is an intake and cbe installed. What ever the swas BS it was puling is the cause of it for sure tho. I've never seen it drop that low and it is only doing it. When the swas is making it go super rich. IDK WTF it was doing but since ive had it unplugged havent had any problems. I have the tech Package so it is lighting up the Blind spot light and headlight turning thing. To the smart ass that says there is only two options of either unplugging it or getting a different tuner you are incorrect. I work for Halliburton and asked one of our electonic techs. he told me the sensor works of voltage the more you turn one way the more or less the voltage is. So like I said it would be possible to put a resistor or something of the sort to trick the ECU by keeping the voltage steady. SO you sir can suck it. BOOM!!!!! lol

[SRTie4k]

Dude, rather than complain about your SWAS, get your car tuned. Cobb's stage 1 OTS map blows, and eventually its going to manifest itself as you blowing your engine if you don't get a custom tune soon.

It's possible the only thing saving you from going boom IS your SWAS right now.

[jordan11b]

Im going back to Cobb next weekend for autotech internals and intake inlet and downpipe install. I was never planning on keeping the stage one. But I appreciate you sooo much for your vast variety of knowledge and putting it to use in my thread. As I am trying to come up with something that will help the entire community you feel the need to tell me to quit complaining about the problem. Thanks very much, I appreciate you.
