E30 Stage 2 MHD stutter 340i

Hey guys, been running this for about 3 weeks.

I have my transmission XHP flashed to stage 1 also

Anytime when I suddenly put my foot on the gas the car hesitates or stutters.
I have to almost all the time be so careful of how I put my foot on the gas to ensure a smooth acceleration

I HAVE regapped my spark plugs to .022 with NGKs but the problem still occurs

Any advice or thoughts?

Thanks guys

Have you pulled codes? Even if you don't show a cel there may be shadow codes logged in your system. I went through a similar experience; hesitation on acceleration, I changed plugs thinking that may have something to do with it, but I finally realized it was vanos related. Codes logged but not showing active cel.

Can you guide me through that process?

When you go into the MHD Flasher, in the bottom right corner there is a tab that says "codes". With your ignition on, engine off, run this and it will give you a list of DTC's. This may lead you in the right direction if any of your onboard sensors have registered an error. Go ahead and post your codes up once you pull them and ill see if I can be of any help.

Is it possible you're experiencing traction loss and the car is intervening? The only reason I ask is that you said it only happens when you get the gas "suddenly".
I've had similar experiences and turned out it was traction intervention.
Try turning DSC completely off and see if you can recreate the hesitation.

This is most likely it

same happens to me, from a green light, foot down, wheels spin, but you're moving. get to another set of lights, once they go green, same amount of pressure on the gas, but you're moving like a snail.. and then BOOM all the power of 100x F1 cars all at once.

have you logged this phenomenon? You've posted before about running e30 fuel mixture on a 93 octane map. Are you still doing this?

I'm not doing the 93 octane anymore I've set it to the e30 stage 2 map.

I'll do a log soon and post back, it's been bugging me
