Why Random Ign cut at WOT?
I am getting a random ignition cut for a split second when at higher RPM on my e420d. I have no turbo, the rev limit is set to cut fuel, which it does, all other limiters are set to over 8000RPM, or off, and all cut methods are not selected apart from the rev limit. What is triggering this? I have attached a log file, and my map. The map was changed to a 7400RPM rev limit, 7200RPM soft, and overrun fuel cut was disabled, but still should not cut ignition.
I also noticed that my injection timing is all of a sudden reading -260, where all of my other logs have read 0, since I have variable injection timing turned off?

I forgot about that, I pre wired for a shift light/buzzer, but its not connected yet. I'm also emailing adaptronic, and he had me disable input 4, which is my launch control enable, also pre wired, but not connected. Going to test tonight. I left these set up so I knew what they were, the wires are labeled behind the dash, but not used yet.

Let us know what you find out testing it!

Everything seems fine after I removed my launch control enable input from the software. Now I have to figure out why it was interfering. I had the same issue with my flat shift, it was causing a random ignition cut above 4000rpm as well. I don't have a speed sensor connected to the ecm so it doesn't know speed, maybe that was the launch control issue? I have 2 clutch switches set up, one on the clutch pedal, and one connected to the transmission neutral switch, both independently connected to the ecm. I wonder if one is going bad?

The sensor that is under the dash that is depressed when the clutch pedal is released is what should be signaling the ecu.

I have been going back and forward with them. I just have to find someone to help me watch my inputs while I drive to see if I have noise causing random cuts.

Your car might need the clutch pedal assembly to be adjusted.
Here's an example from my daily driver which depicts the clutch pedal switch perfectly.

Right, so is the plunger adjusted properly on the sensor and pedal assembly? This sounds like a mechanical adjustment of that.

It seems to me like an issue with the hardware/software that somehow links launch control ignition cuts to something else internally that triggers it when it shouldn't. Hell I recently had a friend who found out the trigger errors he was experiencing was tied to the fact that the ECU internal logging was turned on....so any screwed up logic is possible. I'd check the cut logic in the logs and see what rationale the ECU was applying the cut based off of, at the end of the day the cuts are triggered when an electrical discrete is issued based on a 1 or 0 across multiple conditions. If all that **** is turned off and it is still sending out discrete cut signals, something deeper than tune is wrong. If if it the clutch sensor triggering from improper adjustment of the switch, the log will tell.

Opening this up in Eugene... Here are the following mistakes/errors:
Whoever tuned this is a total piece of ****.
This is some extra retard ****.
Sure, I guess this is okay... Not optimizing efficiency or power, just blah.
I'll be happy to sit your tuner down over coffee and educate them on a few Greg Banish and Bosch Engine Calibration books for you. This is absolutely unacceptable and for someone to offer this as a service to others in the community, they should be ashamed of themselves. This is GARBAGE and charging for this kind of work is unbelievable.
Whoever tuned this is a total piece of ****.
- Full Throttle Set to 80% on TPS.
- Knock Offset is Entirely Turned off from 0-8000 RPM (No Knock Sensor)
- Wideband is set to AEM UEGO (Please be sure that's what you're using - Having this setup incorrectly on it's 0-5v sweep is incredibly valuable information)
- Digital Input 1 and 2 are both set to Clutch (Active Low)
- Digital Input 4 is set to Launch Control Enable (Active Low)
- Dwell Time is locked at 3ms (LAME.)
- Injectors are Setup as ALTERNATE! WHAT THE FLYING ****! 12-34-12-34 instead of Fully Sequential (1-2-3-4)
- Injectors are both set to 460cc/min
- Base Fuel Pressure is set to 370kPa (53.66psi?!?!)
- Injector Deadtimes are NOT matched to each other or to Factory Specifications
- Soft Fuel Rev Limit at 6800 RPM, Hard Fuel Cut at 7000 RPM
- Cold and Hot Rev Limits Disabled (STUPID)
- Throttle Overrun Values FAR too High
- Launch Control Disabled, but set at 4000 RPM and 1 mi/hr limits, which are pretty good.
- OMP, Twin Turbo, AC Control, Blow Off Valve, Turbo Timer, etc are either disabled or poorly setup
- Last cell of Fuel Map is only up to 7500 RPM and has a MASSIVE 500 RPM step in it beforehand. You're far from tuned around that region
- Closed Loop is enabled up to 6000 RPM and only after operating temp reaches 176F... Dumb.
- Open Loop Transients Enabled (Dumb).
- Maximum Transient Advanced/Retard = 12 Degrees of Timing (HOLY **** KABOOM)
This is some extra retard ****.

Either way, that's a start for whoever did tune it, there's massive amounts of errors.
I'll fix it all myself and post a file once I know the cars actual injector, fuel pressure, wideband o2, etc.

- Full Throttle Set to 80% on TPS. - This is a standard OEM setting, figure anything over 80% will enable clear flood on cranking, and over 80% is not a cruising throttle setting.
- Knock Offset is Entirely Turned off from 0-8000 RPM (No Knock Sensor) - No knock sensor installed
- Wideband is set to AEM UEGO (Please be sure that's what you're using - Having this setup incorrectly on it's 0-5v sweep is incredibly valuable information) - Have an AEM wideband gauge connected to my serial in, is working fine, 0-5V analog input is not used
- Digital Input 1 and 2 are both set to Clutch (Active Low) - Read somewhere that this is how its set up on the plug n play units, input 1 is my clutch pedal switch, input 2 is my neutral switch in the transmission
- Digital Input 4 is set to Launch Control Enable (Active Low) - Pre wired for future installation of a switch, just have a terminated wire going to drivers side footwell labelled launch control, its set for that so that I remember, but does nothing right now
- Dwell Time is locked at 3ms (LAME.) - Just replaced the stock FC coils/ignition with LS square coils last month in a hope it was causing my misfire, kept the dwell low and standard since I am not boosted and dont need a high dwell yet, dont want to max out dwell and introduce new problems
- Injectors are Setup as ALTERNATE! WHAT THE FLYING ****! 12-34-12-34 instead of Fully Sequential (1-2-3-4) - This is how the S4 engine basemap set up the injectors, I have not changed it
- Injectors are both set to 460cc/min - That is what I have installed, stock 86 S4 low impedance NA 460cc fuel injectors in primary and secondary
- Base Fuel Pressure is set to 370kPa (53.66psi?!?!) - Running 36psi fuel pressure with pump running, engine off, not sure why thats off, just looked, and I am unable to change it in WARI, its greyed out.
- Injector Deadtimes are NOT matched to each other or to Factory Specifications - Where can you find factory specifications, only thing I could find was on a Miata forum, someone measured them, and I searched for part number, overlooked the secondary setting, but it wasn't until 2 weeks ago that I found a way to make the secondary's come on, before they would not come on until 6700RPM
- Soft Fuel Rev Limit at 6800 RPM, Hard Fuel Cut at 7000 RPM - Nothing wrong with this, was set higher, but lowered, I do have 3mm apex seals in this motor, and read that they are not as good at high RPM
- Cold and Hot Rev Limits Disabled (STUPID) - Disabled recently after I found out that some of my cut was happening because of the flat shift cutting on randomly, since it improved but not fully fix, I turned off all cuts to test.
- Throttle Overrun Values FAR too High - Just turned back on, keep getting issues of exhaust loading up with fuel on overrun, or just coming out of overrun, igniting, and making a extremely loud bang, doing this in residential areas is not good, it was turned off so that I could tune transitions better, now it has stopped.
- Launch Control Disabled, but set at 4000 RPM and 1 mi/hr limits, which are pretty good. - Cable speedometer only on my truck, which is why I have no launch control, will enable once I get a speed sensor installed, after my rear axle swap, which the new one has a pickup on the ring gear.
- OMP, Twin Turbo, AC Control, Blow Off Valve, Turbo Timer, etc are either disabled or poorly setup - Because none are installed on the engine, running premix, and N/A right now, decided to install standalone and learn it on a more forgiving NA rotary than learn turbos and standalones on a rotary at the same time and spend lots of money.
- Last cell of Fuel Map is only up to 7500 RPM and has a MASSIVE 500 RPM step in it beforehand. You're far from tuned around that region - Hard to tune when it misfires like crazy above 4000RPM, its way out as I was adding fuel and removing fuel to try to fix
- Closed Loop is enabled up to 6000 RPM and only after operating temp reaches 176F... Dumb. - Whats wrong with that, I did have it only up to 1200RPM so that I could tune off idle without closed loop interfering
- Open Loop Transients Enabled (Dumb). - ? My latest map has it turned off
- Maximum Transient Advanced/Retard = 12 Degrees of Timing (HOLY **** KABOOM) - The gain is set to -10, it says a negative number here means retard, so it retards up to 12 degrees of timing, cant put a negative number in the Maximum Transient Advanced/Retard box.
This is some extra retard ****.

I answered your questions above in blue, I have tuned this myself, first time with a standalone. Some of my values are way off, as I have been fighting with this misfiring issue since I installed this engine last spring, before, I had a NA 6-port, and never had the issue, so I was trying to find my issue in the tune. Keep in mind, this is not in an RX7, and it is not an e440D that is offered with the plug n play, but the e420D, which has no auto tune feature. Wiring harness is all custom made.
I use WARI to tune, Eugene is very slow on my computer, takes a good 15-30 seconds to load a window.

I had a very similar problem on my Select Pnp. Turn on launch control and it would be slow to react and cause very minor misfires. Although, it's most likely because my speed sensor doesn't give an accurate signal. Kinda just knows when the car is moving and when it isn't. Haven't had any issues on my Integras Infinity with these features so there must be something about the old Adaptronic units that don't like those features.
