Ghost cams idle

Recommended Posts

Hey guys new to pcmtec and the forum. 

I have a b series xr6 turbo, with the ghost cams strategy from a typhoon, I'm having an issue with the idle as soon as I turn on the air con, the car idles louder, but then decides throw engine light and stall. Take the aircon out of the issue and the ghost cams sound on point, I know just dont use the air con right? I have kids so my aircon Is a must for summer. 

I'm loving the ghost cam feature so thumbs up to that, so if anyone can shed some light on this issue would be much appreciated

He said he was having issues with finding addons tables to correct it anything you could suggest ? Or same reply as above

You need to read the DTC code. It could be an airflow limit, or throttle limit at idle etc. The BA F6 doesn't have the extra cam timing fuel adjustments as it was the first vehicle with VCT. You can still make it work, it just needs a bit more love. You can do what we do here which is essentially a catch for if it starts to stall, it kicks the cams back to normal position very quickly.

As you can see, ghost cam idle at 900rpm, then if it drops for any reason to 600 (below idle speed) it will kick the cams back to a normal position very quickly.

The stalling sounds like a different issue though. Likely a throttle limp mode etc due to the extra throttle required at idle. I'm sure with some datalogging the problem can be resolved.
