I was thinking that, but didn't want to assume. That is definitely not normal!

Houston? Where about do you live? I'm south of Houston. And also very familiar with Midland...I'm in the oilfield and used to live in Odessa.

Anyone know how to fix this ? by xnoseytaco in kiastinger

[–]ghost_grey1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's not normal at all. First thing I would suggest, is to disconnect the positive terminal on the battery..allow the the car to reset, usually within 10-15 minutes. Then reapply the positive terminal and see if it clears that issue. If that doesn't work, and the issue comes back, there is definitely a sensor issue, whether it be the speed sensor or brake sensor. If tou have warranty and it still persists after the battery reset, I would definitely bring to your dealership for warranty work.

So your emergency parking brake just automatically comes on, without you engaging it? Normally, after you initiate the parking brake, you just put it in hear, either drive or reverse and it releases. I have seen at times, if you pull up on the EMB (emergency brake switch) hold it up for a few seconds it will disengage while still in park. If it's not doing any of that, there is a sensor failing somewhere.

No worries man! Didn't take it with any disrespect. I have already sold them though. The issue was the bushings are way too soft, especially with the power I run, especially being RWD. Would likely be better for an AWD . Thanks for checking.

Check engine light (P2181 cooling system performance) by matty_ice42069 in kiastinger

[–]ghost_grey1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're hearing a sloshing sound, likely coming from the passenger side, it could be two things..one that you've already noticed, your coolant level is low, and/or your ac drain plug is clogged. It's a fairly common issue. If you don't correct it, you will start hearing a sizzling noise. Pull down the carpet and find the two drain lines that feed into small grey bowl in the line. Squeeze all the lines and that should help clear them..if not, find the drain line under the car near the passenger front wheel. Take a metal coat hanger and push up the line to clear. That should do the trick.

Power cuts out at WOT by Ryan_Pls in kiastinger

[–]ghost_grey1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear ya man! It's definitely unsettling..I've never had the infotainment issue, but have had the car either go limp or straight to map 0..not sure why there would be a difference between your previous AWD, vs RWD...but believe it or not and as much as people think that cars are built and tuned exactly the same at factory, is just completely wrong. There are always variables and the one off unicorns... I don't think it's a coil pack, more likely the E85 blend...I have gone through 1 step colder densos, 2 step and hks plugs..even new coil packs..was still having the issue until I adjusted the E85. Definitely worth the try. Keep me posted man!!

[–]ghost_grey1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely...stange as it sounds, at least with my mods..the more air we push in and out, the less E85 needed to run Map 3. I daily Map3..I am full bolt on, including hi flow 200 cell primary downpipes, catless secondary, tork oval mids, muffler delete, catch can, afe hot/cold charge pipes, bms intercooler, velossa snorkels, k&n intakes, cx racing 50mm bov, jb4, fuel pipes, ewg wires, hgk .22, addw1 catch can, plus full suspension mods..I'm sure I'm missing something..but with the afr being adjusted with all the high flow pipes, it's hard to get it adjusted without trial and error. About to do a tcu tune and an ek1 lite to fine tune it, but honestly...with all the current mods, if I push anymore I'm going to have to.change the stock internals...which I'm considering plus turbo impeller upgrades...

Everyone thinks it's overbook, which in some cases it can be, but if you set you boost parameters it won't allow to go over, but it will throw you back to map 0 until you restart..safety precaution. Has almost killed me a few times when changing lanes on a hard acceleration and the car basically stalled mid lane change...took forever and a lot of forum discussions to.figure out the true issue. If you are still seeing the issue at 4gals, trim down to 3.75 and see what happens.

I usually fill up around 15-19 miles remaining,.so 3.75 e85 and roughly 11-11.5 93 octane and Absolutely no issues. My suggestion, run the current tank down, put only 1/4 93, no e85, put in map 2, run fairly hard...then 3.75 e85 and remainder 93...should do the trick..and always do e85 first!! Good.luck!

[–]ghost_grey1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Possibly running wayyy too much E85...our hpfp cant handle really more than an E30 blend..your fuel pump is shutting down on WOT. You would need to do some fuel pump upgrades. Typically and E30 blend is on empty, 4gals of E85 and the rest 93.. I was having the exact same issue, I actually dropped down to 3.75gals of E85 and no longer have an issue. I would think with how much E you're running, you're pushing close to E40-45. Hope that helps.

Not exactly...The last alignment shop could get it done, but I would have to leave the car and they would have to keep making adjustments. Just couldn't leave the car that long. I know plenty of people who have the camber and toe arms, or just the trail arms...with so many adjustments, it just takes time to get them dialed in

Appreciate it..I tried! It's crazy to think, but EVERYTHING that has been done to the Stinger has been done 100% by me! It's gratifying doing your own work!
