Stage 1 PCM Drivability?

[Malu59RT]

Curious if anyone is experiencing any oddities with their Stage 1 PCMs, or if I'm the only one?

-My throttle tip-in sometimes feel like it has a hole in the map (electronics in the car cuts out, like the gauge cluster and interior lights).
-When I am driving in traffic and get off throttle, and get back into throttle, the car hesitates or bucks.

I couldn't remember if my factory PCM had the same issues, and swapped it back last night. The drivability of the stock PCM seemed much better, without any issues listed above, which is odd because the same person did both. Thanks for any insight you guys may have!

Jason I have not experienced that in any of the Gen V's we have installed the ECU in. I would give Arrow a call and see if you can get it reflashed if the problem persists.

I have driven mine on the street and on the track without a problem. It has been flawless so far.

Yeah, it's been that way for the last month, I will call and see what they can do, thanks Andy! BTW, the PCM was good for 4mph at the airfield over a stock SRT :)

Zero issues.

Was of the relearn done properly?

[KB Viper]

zero issues with mine. sounds like a simple re-flash would fix it.

Zero issues.

Re-learn was done a total of 4 times.

I still need to get mine installed.

Hmmmm thats interesting maybe after TI you can pull it and zip it off to Arrow and have them reflash it.

The engine controller wouldn't make the dash and interior lights blink out...

However the sharper throttle response might make a short condition occur... whereas the stock doesn't roll the engine as hard? Just a thought.

[Jack B]

are you stuttering again?

I had the same issue with mine. Went back did the relearn and now no issues.

[triblk6spd]

Zero issues here either.
The only "issue" I even think about is the throttle is almost too sensitive at times. Coming into light throttle from off throttle is a bit too jersey sometimes. I guess you gotta pay to play.

When you guys are doing the re-learn, are the pedals moved to a certain position (full forward, or full back)?

I drive with the pedals closest to the floorboard, and that's how we did the throttle re-learn. I have no idea how the throttle re-learn reacts if the pedals are moved closer to the driver (and vice versa if the relearn is done closest to the driver, but driven closest to the floorboard).

I don't know if it matters but my pedals were fully down.

Drivability was improved with Arrow for me, with Belangers I found my stock PCM to search now and then for idle. Arrow makes idle like butter and super crisp throttle.
