Default Pops and Bang (burbles) problem. Cruise control problem.

hello. Can someone solve these 2 problems for me?

1. I make Burbles.. OK. I modify the 2 tables in Minimum Spark. Base and Long Temp. Very little. only the first 3 lines and only from 4,000 to 6,000 RPM
Sounds really good.
The problem... When it's bubbling I feel like the car doesn't hold well... sometimes even if you lift your foot off the accelerator it can continue bubbling for a long time without barely dropping the RPM...
I have also tried to make the typical adjustment in the virtual torque maps... but the problem continues...


2nd problem..
He's done this forever...
The cruise control works well.
But when I accelerate hard and express a speed.. It stops working...
Until I stop the car and start driving again, it doesn't work again.

It is annoying to overtake a car with your foot on the floor, and for that reason the cruise control does not work afterwards.

It always happens to me.

My cruise control works as GM designed it. I set the speed when I reach the speed I want and it doesn't matter whether I use WOT. I can add throttle after the cruise is set so I can pass another car and once past the other car cruise will resume once the car slows to the set speed.

If you have an M7 make sure your clutch and brake switches are operating correctly. If you have an A8 make sure the brake switch is operating correctly. Any malfunction or stickiness of those switches can shut off cruise control.

What else is done to the car? Sounds like you have throttle hang. Have you returned the areas you changed in the spark maps to stock to see if the issue persists?
