Engine Misfires- HELP!!
I've got a 2003 Track Edition with a Built motor (recently installed) and am having a problem with the car misfiring at lower RPM's (idle to 3000). Sometines I get an 0300 code which I realize is not a big deal, but other times I get a flashing Service Engine light. The light will flash for about 30 seconds and then stop without leaving a code.
The mods on the car are the following:
Built motor 8.5:1 compression and head work
ATI Procgarger with 14lb pulleys
CJM Return Fuel SYstem
Kinetix SSV Manifold
RC 650cc Injectors
TurboXS UTEC
Technosquare ECU Reflash
So far we have:
1. Done a Compression Test
2. Changed Plugs
3.Changed Fuel Injectors
4.Change Coil Packs
5.Changed Cam Sensors
6.Changed Crank Sensor
7.Changed MAF Sensor
8.Changed ECU
9.Checked Timing Chains
10. Checked for Vacuum Leaks
11. Changed O2 Sensors
Anybody got any ideas?

The UTEC has been tuned, but the problem is occurring when there is no boost at RPM's under 3000 so the UTEC is not really kicking in at this level. (I have the UTEC set to take over at 2psi). At this level it's running off the MAF and ECU.

So what is the air fuel when the misfire occurs? Does it suddenly go from rich to lean or lean to rich at that point. The values in the 0% column on the UTEC could still be causing the problem depending on your settings. That UTEC set to take over at 2psi is for the 10% to 100% columns.

just pull the front off the motor and switch the intake cam gears and retime it and you will be ready to go!!
appreciate if you don't want to say who built the motor, but i would look at them for some compensation, atleast the final fix of switching the gears back.

i'm sure you don't have the same prob steve. once i fixed my switched timing gears, i have never recieved another po300 code at all. it just runs like crap during the off idle to around 3000-3500 range and if you hold it at the misfire point, it will through the code. but you can drive around all day if you just, give it gas, coast, give it gas, coast, lol.
i'm guessing these are the exact symptoms he is getting. if thats the case, switch the intake cam gears.
