I have OCD, and one OCD thing I do is shift every single time at about 3250 rpm, unless I'm revving it to redline or 5,250 rpm (another ocd thing). Well, the problem is, if I do this consistently enough, I get a big huge lump right at 3,250 rpm. So, if I go to run the engine up to redline, there's a huge dip in power right there at 3,250, and it starts surging up and down the rev band too (it'll surge at 4,500 rpm, 2,200 rpm, etc).
So, I did something difficult, and changed my shift pattern, to 3,500 rpm, and it seems to have helped, but only slightly. I still have to reset my ECU every few days because my engine surges so much throughout the rev band.
Should I replace my MAF sensor? I doubt it's bad if it's doing fine for the first few days. I also just changed my intake, extending it down into the wheel well. I'm hoping this will work better compared to my SRI.
I also found that running Plus instead of regular helps to some extent, but the next day, it'll be all surgey again. Combined with the oil consumption, could this be indicating the end of my engine soon?
Cliffs notes, my rev band feels lumpy and sucks.
