I have developed a studder during the launch.

It shows the O2's going rich almost like it's a ignition thing.
Yes, a bad Pressure switch can cause this. I would change it out .

David, I do have a Racepak. I will order the 12 volt event sensor.


Steve, good point. I will change it out while I'm at it.

Thanks,
Mike

Some pressure switches have buna type o-rings or wetted parts. Buna rubber is not compatible with brake fluid. EPDM rubber is compatible with brake fluid. Virtually all brake o-rings, seals, etc are edpm rubber. Not sure as to what extent that has with the switch, but I know one person who had a switch go bad and his had buna rubber parts.

I get your using brake pressure switch but are you using one in conjunction with a button on the brake pedal. If you are that's the first thing I would get rid of.

I was doing research on switches and most have buna rubber. I think there is a place on the east coast that has epdm rubber pressure switches. I think that it is saved on my work computer. I will check and see.
