Why does my Camaro stall at 1200 rpm?
Why does my Camaro stall at 1200 rpm?
Since your car will idle at close to 1200 RPM with this cam you are going to kill it with a stock converter in drive at a light because the stock converter is too tight (looseness being a measure of the converters slip). That slipping at the light generates a lot of heat which will be shed by the HD oil cooler.
Can a bad camshaft sensor cause hard shifting?
Answer: Yes, a faulty camshaft position sensor can cause hard shifting or lock a gear in place. Question: When I start on a cold engine everything is fine, but after a minute the engine begins to cough, and there is a malfunction on the camshaft sensor.
What causes the camshaft sensor to produce a false signal?
Problems with the tensioner or support rail usually translate into a rattle and/or clicking sound coming from the timing chain. It’s possible that it can cause the camshaft sensor to produce a false signal since the crankshaft and camshaft won’t be synchronized. This seems to be a problem in some Mini Cooper models.
What’s the STR on a Camaro stall converter?
A stock converter has a STR of about 1.9 – 1.95, while the best OTS aftermarket converters will achieve about 2.5. Yank and PI go into some detail about how much STR you can get out of a converter.
How does the camshaft choice affect stall speed?
As you can see, specific camshaft specifications can lead to changes in the optimal torque converter stall speed. That’s why Gill says ACC Performance/Boss Hog has its own specific method that allows the company to pinpoint the stall range of your application to within 99.5 percent.
Why does my car stall at high RPM?
You should keep in mind that if the same type of converter is in a big block that is in a car that is quite heavy or has serious traction, then the torque will drive the stall speed to a higher RPM, while an engine that has less power will do the opposite and it won’t stall the converter out as high.
Since your car will idle at close to 1200 RPM with this cam you are going to kill it with a stock converter in drive at a light because the stock converter is too tight (looseness being a measure of the converters slip). That slipping at the light generates a lot of heat which will be shed by the HD oil cooler.
Can a high stall converter destroy a transmission?
Plus, the higher the stall speed, the more heat the converter will make with hydraulic fluid inside of the converter. Normally a high stall converter will be able to make enough heat to destroy a transmission if you are holding the line too long at full RPM if the stall speed is higher than 3500RPM.
