Hey all,
I have a 09 M8 HCR with a CPC stage 3 turbo. Ever since I put the turbo on (and had it checked out by the dealership to make sure I did everything right) the sled has had a bottom end bog issue. I mean bog to the point that it'd throw me over the front cause it died bog (more than once, more than lots actually).
After checking everything that I did I more or less dealt with it. Finally last ride out on it the sled died on me and I had to get towed out again.
After beating my brain trying to figure it out, fuel, compression but no spark, I had to take it in to the dealership. Turns out the reason that it died was a ground wire behind the steering post that I had no clue about.
Got that fixed and since I was there I complained about the bottom end bog that I've complained about numerous times. So we throw it on the dyno and the sled puts out a whopping 140hp before it would die. Not too shabby! I was more happy that it wasn't my imagination that was making me think it wasn't running right than that impressive HP number.
So I leave to let the mechanic figure it out because who really likes having someone watch over your shoulder while you work. I hear back later that it was the Ignition coil pickup sensor (Or somethingamajig like that). Perfect. Problem found. So three weeks goes by and my sled still wasn't ready. Talk to the mechanic after missing a ride because the sleds in their shop with the parts in but no one working on it. Now that it's during the week again and he's worked on it (I have no issues with the mechanic, I think he's good at what he does) he's had it running and back together, thrown on the dyno, pulls 275hp at 13#s boost.
Problem is that it'll do 3 or 4 pulls and then completely dies. Won't fire in limp mode or anything. I believe he lets it sit and cool off for awhile (not 100% sure because I don't stand over him, he's the mechanic and I'm not, he knows what he's doing and I don't) not too sure how long it sits. So far it's done this a few times.
Talked to him today (this is week 6 or 7) and he says the intermittent spark is getting worse. I didn't ask him too many questions because at this point all I want to do is freak out on that dealership and he's a nice guy.
I'm not sure if he's checked the stator, I would imagine that he has but I don't want to ask him and possibly insult him without meaning to. He said that this sled is the only one that he has ever seen do this. It's the only stage 3 that's in town, they have done a bunch of stage 2's.
Has anyone ever seen this issue before and have an idea what might be causing this? I just want my POS arctic cat back.
Thanks.
