    Trying to troubleshoot high RPM hesitation

    Did a search to no avail!

    I was playing around today with the Cobra making some hard 2nd/3rd gear pulls and it hesitates/sputters at high RPM like it's not firing on all cylinders. During normal driving it acts fine. Not throwing any codes either. Has anyone had this problem?

    Thanks

    TR6's gapped @ .34

    I'm gonna check the plugs this morning. I thought about the plugs but knowing my luck I'm sure it's something more than that.

    Quick question. I noticed my intercooler reservoir fluid isn't circulating when I first start the car. Isn't it supposed to run constantly?

    Thanks for the inputs everyone

    Depends on the temp the tune is set to turn it on at. Does it kick on as it heats up?

    It usually starts circulating soon as the motor is fired up. Not sure if RWTD did anything with it when they did my tune.

    It's colder out now and there is a temp switch in the tune. Warm it up and see if it kicks on. If not don't go into WOT until you get it fixed.
