I need help diagnosing a strange problem with my 2002 GTX NA 4 TEC, 200 hours. The engine runs fine but surges when the RPM range reaches 4500-5000 RPMs. There are no codes present and the dealer is stumped. They contacted BRP and received little specific advice of known problems.
I just have a gut feeling it is the TPS, but...
Here is what the dealer did:
- Checked BUDS for codes...none present other than a few mis-communications.
- tested TPS for movement in BUDS Engine Monitoring....I watched...seemed smooth and linear.
- reset TPS.
- tested MAP. Read local barometric pressure pretty accurately.
Here is what I have done:
- replaced spark plugs
- drained fuel tank and cleaned. Replaced fuel filters in fuel pump.
- had injectors rebuilt. (BRP suggestion to dealer)
- replaced coils. (BRP suggestion to dealer)
I have not replaced the TPS yet.
I still have the freaking surge. The idle is a little rough too.
Anyone with these symptoms in the past or ideas of what it might be??? The 'doo is old but "usually" runs great.
