ive been using the motecs autoshift feature with the gear change ignition cut on upshift but everytime i shift the engine goes extremely lean and takes a bit to get back down to 12:1 ish... this is a much bigger problem now that its turbo'd

i guess my question is if im only cutting spark and not fuel why the hell is it getting lean and not rich, anyone else have this problem?

never mind, for anyone with the same problem lower your decel comp at high rpms... should have been pretty obvious but i missed it

Hi Pengulns2001,
Remember the mixture reading from a Lambda sensor reads excess oxygen, if you did not burn anything when the ignition is cut it will read lean. Same with a rich misfire, it will actually read lean becasue the combustion is stopping.
