Yet Another High RPM Flutter...

The TPS numbers look normal. Your gradual pull looks semi-normal. Your WOT is mostly too lean. The 6830 rpm line it is okayish, for example, put it looks to me that for some reason the PCM is getting pulled toward the top (light load) part of the fueling table. I'd suspect it was tripping into closed loop, but your stft remains zero. I still think your maf is ready crazy wrong. This will cause calcLoad to be wrong, at least 10% high at 7k rpm. This will mess up a bunch of tables, including the mysterious 'closed loop a/f table A' which has a direct effect on all fueling. Perhaps repeating the pulls while also logging cLoad would be useful.

It's really odd. At 7k rpm, your maf is 11% higher than mine. However, you still have a +5% ltft. CW to zero that out would have you scale the maf calibration by that 5%. That would mean you'd have an even higher maf reading than mine ... by 16% (and mine is already scaled up by 6%, which would put you above stock by over 20% which is huge!).
Yet if the maf is simply reading too high, the PCM should be get feedback from the O2 sensors that it's injecting too much fuel, and the LTFT's should go negative! A contradiction.
Ignoring for the moment possible links through calcLoad, you would have to have both a messed up maf and O2 sensor for this to happen.
Of active members, probably Oltmann has the best grasp of how the PCM works. I realize the SII PCM is different, but perhaps there's enough of an overlap for him to figure out what's going on. Perhaps pm an SOS to him?

Seriously disconnect your coolant plug and connect it again. If its loose its going to **** up your computer and go into walk mode. http://admin.sgpetch.co.uk/admin/sys...Tank_large.jpg ( just so you know what i mean when im talking about coolant plug) I plugged it in and havent had a flutter yet, I went 700km in two days just to make sure. its insane how it seem to be my issue, another good possibility is that your plugs are not in straight and tight, some people tighten there plugs by hand and think there is enough tourqe when its a good possibility they are not secure enough.

Crap.
Are your IAT, OAT, and coolant temps reading about right? Those plus barometric pressure are also used in PCM calculations.
This is the stock "Closed Loop a/f Table A". It seems to be a fueling multiplier which applied to the fueling tables, and is based on rpm vs load. The 5500 rpm column is applied to higher rpms too. Notice several sharp transitions of ~10%. When I try to smooth of move these edges very much, I can get exactly the bog you describe, but in an rpm range that depends on what I'm messing with. If the maf is somehow wrong then the calcLoad is wrong and you may fall off the cliff at the wrong place.
If you're getting 14 with the 1.01 multiplier, you'd be getting 12.9 with the 1.10 ....
"Oltmann, spill in aisle 8, Oltmann, aisle 8!"

I'm confused,
How did you go from such a rich condition in those first logs to running so lean?
I'll be honest (I know you where in a hurry) I had a hard time looking at that log you just posted.
Too bad about the maf
You could always try unplugging the O2 sensor and see what happens

Updated the spredsheet so it is more readible
Gradual pull:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...WxpNWEtckZkVUE
WOT pull:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...XV6Y1NFbWp4cFE
WCS;
Front or rear O2? Rear O2 was recently replaced with a new one fyi. It is crazy, the slow pull shows my AFRs gradually getting more lean as I increase RPM, which I think is normal. The hard WOT pull runs up the AFR to rich, then eventually leans out to stoich HARD. I dont get it, the only difference though between the two pulls other than the AFR anomaly, is the MAF readings.....

I got your PM, I will have to message you when I get home to see what you want me to do.

The maf may be the same at the same rpm, but if the calcLoad is different, it will fuel differently.

Makes sense. For what it is worth, I didn't log it but if I do a gradual pull....then at 6k mash the throttle, it goes to 7, flutters and loses power hard for a second, then continues up the rpm band no problem. Maybe it was a fluke, but I need to try it again to confirm. Not sure if that adds any value

alright, anyone having a hissing noise near the alternator? I am talking a little bit behind the alternator, but in front of the oil filler tube. I cannot tell if it is coming from the alternator or if there is a magical vac line down there that I didn't catch.

^ Do you have one of these? It's a big help in isolating locating souces of hissing.

Alright, so after sitting and reading all freaking day, The only things that seem to be common across many cars/ forums:
1. Bad fuel pump (only 16k miles on the car, this has been happening for a while now, lets say at least since 10k, i would have thought that a new pump would not fail like this, or fail more over time?)
2. Bad primary o2 sensor (quite possible right?)
3. Boost leak (hehe, i wish)

What kind, if any mods did you do 10k miles ago?
Yes, I have a vacuum,hissing sound.(see clamp with green tracer)
Fuel line pressure
375-450 kPa {3.83-4.58 kgf/cm2, 54.4-65.2 psi}
Fuel hold pressure
200 kPa {2.0 kgf/cm2, 29 psi}

Honestly, only thing I did back then was suspension mods. Coilovers, sway bars, etc. I also did remove the baffles from the stock intake box (but I kept the screens in). Gauges were also installed, (water, connected to the top radiator hose) (oil pressure, connected to the oil service port) (oil temp, at the oil pan).

At any point did you use a RTV Silicone Gasket Maker that
was Not sensor safe?( MAF, O2 ) If yes, change front o2.
How about the carb and brake cleaner you use. sensor safe?
