Attention: TDR Forum Junkies ... I have been repeatedly noticing something very strange the past 1. 5 weeks in that my truck will act as if the key is shut off momentarily and start "coasting". This has only happened under these conditions that I have noticed:
1) light throttle pressure
2) cruise control off or disengaged
3) Juice settings 1-5 only. Setting 0 ("stock") or removing the Juice from the truck is otherwise OK.
4) Between 75-80 mph then truck will "coast" to about 70 mph or ~+/- 2100 rpms and then it will just take off again like nothing has happened. I can mat the throttle with no response - it is just momentarily dead.
5) seems to happen more under low boost and constant throttle conditions, but has also happened when I was towing last week too, especially when transitioning from level ground to a slight incline when more throttle is required.
I can avoid this from happening if I power through the rpm, but if I am just cruising down the interstate at steady boost and then give a slight, very light throttle then the truck will seem to do this.
Fuel pressure to the CP3 is good at 12-13 psi and otherwise under low rail pressure conditions. No codes either when this happens. Unfortunately, I haven't had time to install my SPA rail pressure gauge yet so I don't know what the rail pressure is doing when this happens.
I'm aware that the juice does fuel pressure to about 2100 rpms so I am wondering if perhaps what I am seeing is switching to a different "fueling map"?
I thought that I could live with this, but I almost got rear ended this afternoon on I80 coming back from Reno! I was passing someone and pulled back in the slow lane when I was in the clear, but the truck had no throttle response and slowed down! Then just as I was ready to get back in the other lane to let the car I just passed pass me on the inside, my truck just took off again as if nothing happened. I looked quickly in the rear view and noticed the seniors I just passed have the death grip on the steering wheel from almost driving into me!
I am also thinking that I had this problem for a while, but a lot of my driving is interstate with cruise control. It was only until road construction and towing started, i. e. , don't use cruise, that this has started happening.
I emailed Edge and got an immediate response with no BS so I will send the Juice in tomorrow morning for analysis as this is the first they heard of this problem on the 305/555 Juice and they will replace it with a new one. It will actually be perfect timing since I'll be in Chile next week visiting one of our mines so it is not like I'll be without my BOMBaholicism. :-laf Really looking forward also to (hopefully) driving those 1-ton diesel Landcruisers that are not sold here!
Other than this I have only generated one code and CEL when I romp on it on Level 4 or 5 - P0193 "Rail pressure voltage high", which hasn't affected driveability at all (RankRam can verify! :-laf ). I am thinking that perhaps this code is sprung due to the CP3 working "harder" with the bigger injectors. However, this is just a theory until I hook up the rail pressure gauge and prove it otherwise.
