My engine rebuild is going great. Still have not pushed it to redline but indications thus far are positive. I've had it to 5k a few times and the boost was 7ish. Holding coolant solid. I'm gonna burn through one more tank of gas, change the oil and she'll be ready for some redline flogs. (weather permitting since cold tires are proving very slippery) Forget traction in second but even third is on the verge of holding on. Slight bump or dip in the road and third can get loose.
Anyway, on to my stalling problem. The wideband AF gauge is providing me info to ponder on the stalling problem. Here's what I have noticed and can duplicate it repeatedly. If I'm cruising and the AF is 14.5ish, I can push the clutch in and it doesnt stall. Likewise, if im accelerating moderately and the AF is 13.5ish, I can push the clutch in and it doesnt stall. Now, when I run up through third and let off the gas and let the car decelerate in third, or any gear for that matter, The AF goes richer on the order of 12ish. If I push the clutch in after a period of decelerating when the AF is 12, it stalls. Computer tries to catch it and will sometimes, but usually it will stall.
Not sure what to conclude from this but the AF has something to do with the stalling I suppose.
BTW, my WOT AF is 11.2-11.6 from 4k rpm and up
