15 shutter?
I'd check your coil packs. Mine was doing the same thing in 3-4 gear, sometimes in 5th. Under some load while giving it throttle it would sputter really bad. Had the dealer check it out and they diagnosed it as a bad coil. Had them replace it, and no more sputter
@mcr1911 you had? How did you fix if you don't mind? Thanks
yeah Ive read some forums about that; however it dosent happen at the speeds people claim it happens (40-65) . I obviously dont want to replace it if thats the case . Hopping its just a misfire issue as it dosent happen when the RPMS are greater (sport mode or lower gear ) also shows mode 6 misfire when I notice it, I go home and check it lol. How did you fix your issue? Were there any other signs?
thanks in advance.
thanks in advance.
If an engine runs Lean under light throttle, misfire can result if a Coil can't fire that Lean mixture.
This is more prevalent on an engine with an Egr valve that is commanded to open under those conditions.
To aggravate it further, when the throttle is opened just a bit more, the Leanness gets even Leaner and shows up a faulty coil.
WHY?
A very Leam mixture requires much higher Coil voltage to fire.
If a Coil is low in reserve voltage, misfires result and you feel them because the drive line is already locked up and the Ignition timing retards on top of it, making if feel worse.
Since this condition is not a hard fault, it comes and goes, no code will be set because th Program cancels the request until the next time and happens all over again.
However, there is a record kept in MODE 6 History of all the misfires that should point to the cylinder with the faulty coil.
Good luck.
