Hey guys! So this is my last effort to find a solution to the problem I'm having with my S4. After having dealerships, specialist audi shops, and everyone else try to figure it out. No one can. Problems started occurring after my switch to E85 so I thought switching back to 91 again would help but the issues still exist. It has ran perfectly on both tunes before up until this started a month ago.
I'm running a 2013 S4 with the following mods.
-EPL Stage 2 Tune (Can switch between E85 and 91 pump)
-APR DSG Tune
-APR supercharger pulley
-Aftermarket crank pulley
Forge Intercooler
-Roc Euro Intake
-Eurocode Longtube Headers
-AWE Touring Exhust (No Cats)
-Autotech HPFP Upgrade
So the problem is that both banks are running lean all the time, and Bank 1 LTFT is always extremely extremely lean whether at idle or while cruising or while under heavy load. While at 75% throttle or more the car misfires (no codes) and stumbles badly in each gear around 4500+ rpm. I figured it was a fuel delivery issue or an air issue so I'm going to list everything I replaced below. (All fuel pressure checks and smoke tests etc etc have been done by Griffin Motowerke and they all came back negative)
what I've replaced...
-injectors
-plugs
-fuel filter
-fuel control module
-fuel pressure sensor
-Left and right MAPs
-Supercharger Intercoolers (one broke and leaked into B1)
- All 4 O2 Sensors
-cleaned the HPFP
I'm at a loss at this point because nothing has improved and if it's not an air leak or fuel pressure issue since Griffin and my own mechanic couldn't figure it out I have no clue what it could be.
Any insight would be much appreciated! I just want to get her running well. I'm copying below at 2500 rpm to show what my trims look like.
LTFT1 - 18%
LTFT2 - 5%
Lambda control value bank 1 (-7%)
Lambda control value bank 2 (-.03%)
I have noticed that whenever I clear the ECU the engine runs perfectly and much better without the rough idle or stumbling right in the beginning. And then after it adapts over time it continues to slowly run worse and worse. The obvious guess would be that it's an O2 sensor or an ECU issue. Hard to believe it would be an ECU issue and the O2 sensors are brand new so I'm at a loss. I'm going to swap Bank 1 and bank 2 primary sensors to see if the problem shifts but at this point I'm throwing darts at a dartboard hoping one sticks
