You're not a true DSM'er unless you have 10 sets of metric sockets but only (1) 10mm. Funny story.. I bought my 10th over Christmas from Home Dept in a fancy clamshell case and somehow my GF managed to knock it over and all rolled accross my garage. Guess which of the 50 sockets I've yet to...
Other than the boost leak test a few other checks: make sure TPS sensor plug is connected (said you took the TB off), also the Coolant Temp Sensor on the Thermostat housing. ECU will lean out AFRs once engine reaches normal operating temp.. if sensor is bad/not hooked up.. car will run poorly...
Dis you check the scaling of each analog input via LogWorks? Mine was pre-calibrated for Narrowband operation and had the same 7-ish AFR. Believe a bad ground will also cause this issue (very sensitive to ground).
Water pipe is steel... heat wrap absorbs moisture. Not a good combo unless you have a race car that does not see weather. I once wrapped a down pipe and rotted in half over a cpl years. I hit mine with flat black rustoleum and looks perfect.
The DSM community is second to none. Has been amazing to see this platform launch so many successful businesses over the years. Still get a kick taking mine out for a romp from time to time... with antique tags no less :)
my .02.. went down that route years back and was annoyingly loud, smelled up the cabin and always sounded like an exhaust leak. For a daily driver not a good mod (why you see alot of cheap used ones in the classifieds) :dsm:
Thought this local story that made the national news wire a few weeks ago woudl be be good for a Monday Morning laugh LOLSTORYWhat a whack-oAnd unlike his car.. not so bright :banghead:
Disconnecting the MAS triggers the ECU into a "safe" mode which is a very rich low-timing map (e.g. so can at least drive the pile if the MAS dies). With it connected and working, the ECU will set fuel/timing based on a number of sensors including the MAS.Was it running fine prior to...
From my experience, wheras a S-AFC is a nice tool to "fine-tune" your car, I'd not use a your primary means to correct for larger injectors. The ECM-Link / Aftermarket chips are WAY better for that as they do it at the ECU level and not via "trickery" at the MAF airflow signal (which in turn can...
As said above, don't be adding Larger injectors without some means to compensate for them (DSMLink, Aftermarket chip..etc). That being said, if you are a car guy (as we all are on this site) don't kid yourself and get injectors "just big enough" for what you have now unless you have a...
The stock 1G batteries are very small and tend to give up easily when the weather gets cold. I'd put yours on the trikle charger overnight and see if that helps and/or get it tested/replaced if necessary.Hard starts can also be caluse by a leaking fuel pump outlet o-ring, clogged fuel filter...
Interesting that the story talks of some 47yo roadracing his Jag in the twisties that kills a mother, so now they are chasing kids in Rice? I guess any excuse is a good excuse to spend money on a cause to the politicans :ohdamn:I find it funny that any number of V8 Domestics STOCK are...
The 90 housing is definitely the way to go with a 6-bolt. The sandwich adapters make me a bit uneasy as is one more potential point of catastrophic failure (o-ring blows out/plate backs out) :dsm:
