Sluggish Acceleration
Hey what’s up guys I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out what my problem is. I have a 2013 X5 35i tuned on MHD Stage 1.
Long story short: the car has its moments when it feels extremely sluggish with bad throttle response and my MPG goes down the drain. It almost feels like an "unofficial" limp mode because I don’t get any codes or engine light. Usually on a cold startup the car feels fine but as I drive I can almost feel when the unofficial limp mode kicks in. This has been going on for about the past month and I feel the symptoms have been getting worse. Now, I am almost always in the unofficial limp mode. I decided to take two logs: one when the car feels normal and another when it’s sluggish. I’m not a pro at reading logs so the only thing I noticed is that my Boost target drops from peaking at 13.4lbs when normal to only ~10.3lbs when the unofficial limp mode kicks in. Here is the log when the car is sluggish: https://datazap.me/u/johnogandouconn...L0XOEbO4pAoZuM Any suggestions? Thank you! |

What is the last time you replaced your plugs? Modded N55 motors typically need plugs changed every 15k and to be one step colder than stock plugs. I'd also look for slight vacuum leaks that may not be bad enough to throw a code. Lots of possibilities here without out knowing the mileage and history of the car.
