: Engine dip prob??

I was just wondering if anyone else has this problem....around 2-3 rpm in 1st or 2nd gear the engine would dip a little then pick back up and drive fine after that..the problem is intermittent and not temp related *** it happens whenever....i have check my wiring and sensors..it all checked good...the only code im getting is a knock sensor code....im narrowing it to 3 things, either the knock sensor(my engine may not be advancing properly),TPS, or the JWT ecu....any advice?..

mine was doing something similar, but it's gone for now

I have noticed this happening in very fast, heavy loaded turn (one particular turn only), figure mine is oil slosh related. The oil pickup sucks some air and the solenoids loose oil pressure and drops out momentarily.
Unless you are doing 1-G turns on the street. Your problem would be something else.

it would happen at any time....it kinda feels like an intermittent boost leak (if it were turbo)

I'm running stock ve except Fuji and 3", Pathfinder MAF and jwt ecu. Seems to me I've heard such blamed on the jwt mapping, but I sure don't know. I get a soft spot just after light throttle tip-in when she's cold, but it's virtually gone ar all gone once she gets fully warm. Sounds like a Miko question to me :-) I am soon doing msd digital 6+ and one of their coils, but I don't expect that to change it as I'm pretty sure it's just a slight anomaly in mixture computation by the ecu. YOURS, dunno.
