Default Dynamaxx Help.

Just installed my Dynamaxx, and now I get some hesitation on acceleration. Feels like the rev limiter kicks in for just a few seconds when i accelerate. Any Ideas!

Sounds like you compuer is on a new learning curve. I'd say do a battery disconnect to reboot it. BUT that will lock out your radio, which can cause problems.

The L and R Oxygen sensors being reversed is a common mistake on installation. Happened to mine. I would start there.

Good thing to check, rears are crossed, fronts are not. Happened to me and it did what you are describing.

Did you get a DIC Message or was it just the rough running?

It just ran like crap. No codes, nothing showed on a scanner, fuel trims messed up. Sounds like that's it. I did H/C and Dynatech headers at the same time, along with a new computer program to get the car to idle until the a dyno tune. Once it warmed up, it ran fine above 3,000 rpm , got it to the dyno and could not tune it out. Pulled it off the dyno and put it on the rack and sure enough, the fronts were crossed.

This may sound silly but make sure that you have turned Traction Control off. Maybe when you start out TC kicks in and is cutting things back to make sure that the wheels don't spin. The first time I got on mine, it cut out and I thought "what the heck?" Then I remembered, turn traction control off and all was well.
