    Default Hesitation/Bogging under slight throttle

    Like title states I am having an issue with my gsr swap in my em1.

    It is hesitating/ bogging under part/ light throttle situation.(i.e. coasting/cruising )

    Wideband reading jumps from low 13 to high 16 during the hesitation/ bogging.

    Compression: 220 across all cylinder
    Distributor: checked with a known good one
    Spark plug wires condition: good
    Spark plugs condition: all fine but cylinder 4 had a slight carbon build up compared to the others 3
    Timing: is correct
    Cel codes: none
    Coolant system: no leaks and no air
    Grounds: all connected and secured
    Clutch and flywheel: recently installed both new clutch kit and flywheel around february
    Fuel filter: replaced mid last year
    Primary o2: replaced last year with a denso o2
    Secondary o2: replaced last week with a denso o2
    Fuel pump: walbaro 255 pump
    Fuel regulator : aem set to 42 psi on idle

    I'm running out of ideas of what it could be. So if anyone has a suggestion to what I could check next or what the problem can be. Please do chime in and give me a hand.

    Check ignition timing with a timing light, make sure you're using the correct mark on the pulley.

    High 16s while in any amount of throttle is very lean, are you setting the FPR with the vac hose off to set the idle pressure? An adjustable FPR really isnt necessary in most cases.

    Im assuming you've got stock ECU?

    I'll check with a timing light when possible.
    Fuel pressure was set with the vac line off at idle. I needed the regulator because of the walbaro pump it was pushing my fuel pressure into the high 50s on idle. And yea stock p2t ecu.

    Yeah ignition timing is the most likely cause, check that first for sure.

    Ok but it doesn't happen all the time. It's random can it still be a timing issue.

    Depends, the ECU changes the timing depending on the load (map value), RPM, & knock (if yours has knock). So yeah i'd definitely check with a light. Make sure you jumper the connector too.
