Exclamation Some "minor" issues with the Z

Performance Mods :

Stillen CAI and Berks CBE.

Issues:
  • "Pinging" at low RPM's. (No ECU code has come off)
  • Whenever I stop, let's say.. at a red light, sometimes the RPMs drops to 500 and the Z shakes as if it was going to stall then it goes up to normal 700-800.

Any ideas on this? I searched around the forum and couldn't find the issue with a fix.

I tried different Gas Stations (Shell 91 is the highest octane gas around).

Is there any possibility that the CAI tubes vibrating could sound like pinging?

Thanks!

sounds like a loose coupling on your cai, as far as the rpm's go.

You got a vacuum leak somewhere, check around your CAI's

Vacuum leak or issue with the air measurement. Check sensor connections as well.

Don't feel bad. It's the same here in SoCal. Possible to get higher, but not where I live. Not without buying racing fuel. Wish we had 93 somewhere.
