AEM 1G Problems with AEM EMS

[Nate_dogg]

I am having trouble with my AEM EMS.

I bought a talon with everything done to it that I wanted on my car, so I pulled the AEM EMS and all the sensors that go with it and even the injectors.

After installing the AEM EMS, 5 bar map, RC 1000cc injectors, and AIT, I loaded the startup calibration file, and changed all the settings to accepts the different sensors and injectors, I started the car and it ran awesome, it revved great and sounded good. I let it idle for awhile to make sure everything was working, after that, I took it up the road for a short test drive, it ran up and back just fine. After I got back to the garage and looked it over to make sure everything was alright, I decided to take it into town and wash it, because it had been sitting in the garage for a long time like always.
Here is where it goes bad.

After shutting the car off, I ran in to get my wallet and whatever else and shut the garage up, I get in the car again and start it up, now the idle is kind of missing, so I thought it was nothing. I start to go down the road and its not running good at all, it will barely pull its self. I get it turned around and by the time I get back to the garage it cannot pull itself thru the garage door.

Now it will not start and if it did start back up it would hardly run, so I thought my cam sensor went out so I changed that, no change then I changed my injectors back to my old ones (fic 850s) that fixed the problem, so I thought. Now the car can idle and rev up, but if I try to drive the car it goes to 9:1 afr and bucks and will not hardly go.

When I have the car running and hit the home button on AEM Pro the flow bars are totally maxed and for some reason at idle its says Im seeing boost.
I have tried everything I know to do, I am new at the AEM EMS but after seeing run that first time and then all of a sudden not run, I am at a loss.
If anyone can help me that would be awesome!!!
Thanks

you should check out the AEM EMS forums or even give AEM a call

If it is reading boost, it is possible your map sensor is wired incorrectly. Also a base calibration is not something you should try to hit boost in. It's basically there to get your car started and start tuning. I know my base calibration was about all it was good for, starting the car.

I would go back and check to make sure you have the sensors correct and that you have the units (i.e. gasoline, psi, etc.) correct within your calibration. Also did you sync timing up with the motor and ecu? A lot of guys just plug in the AEM and it runs like crap because 9/10 they did not sync the timing. Another thing, you need to optimize your fuel map anytime you change injector size.
