well thats what im asking, will the boost be wildly fluctuating with the light coming on, the wastegate opening and boost dropping, thus turning of the peak light, closing the selenoid, raising the boost again, ect, ect, ect making the boost flutter up and down?
So I was thinking about making my own electronic boost controller using the prosport elite boost gauge with the peak/warn function. What I want to do is use the peak light as a signal line to open a selenoid to the wastegate. Any input on this? comments? Concerns? before I destroy a perfectly...
Just as a heads up, don't try to mess around with the lc-1's firmware. I had tons of trouble trying to update it and change settings and ended up having to send it back to innovate to be repaired. Installing, uninstalling, shipping, waiting, and installing again is not fun :(
Im new to the tuning game. My wideband is reading that I'm running rich with an AFR of 9.6-9.9 during WOT. Can I lean it out and gain some more power? :cool:
Okay so the VE table isn't used in vacuum? Then how do I richen or lean out my idle/cruise? Sorry for asking so many questions but Im having a hard time understanding this.
quick question, I know the x axis on the VE table is RPM, what is the Y axis? Also what does the number in each cell mean? Higher number=more fuel? Thanks so much.
How does this log look? Im very new to tuning and would appreciate if somebody could please help me or give me advice. This was a 3rd gear pull from 1800rpm to 6000 rpm
Take out your ecu and check the capacitors inside, the ecu is right behind the radio. Look for leaking/bulging.nevermind I didnt see that it was a non turbo.
what about these guys? http://www.cadvision.com/blanchas/54pontiac/images/30qd-female.jpg I know autometer cobalts use those to connect on the back of thier gauges, they just crimp onto the wire.
Is it possible to datalog a lc1 wideband and Gm 3 bar map sensor in ecmlink v3 using the stock 1g maf? Also do I need a buffer when wiring the signal wire from the wideband into the ecu? :confused:
Just look for hack job half assed mods, toggle switches to nowhere(my car wouldn't run for the loggest time because previous owner rigged up a kill switch to the ignition coil and fuel pump and a wire was grounding where the insulation wore through), ductape anywhere, check the oil, ask when the...
Go to pepboys or autozone and buy a haynes repair/maintence manual, they're $20 and tell you everything you need to know. I highly recommend having one.
I just did a boost leak test on my car and found out the brake booster is leaking, I took the hose that goes to it off and plugged it up and I wasn't leaking boost anymore. I read that the check valve in the line goes bad but I dont think mines did because my line didnt leak when I plugged it...
Are there any aftermaket parts on the car? Is the BOV recirculated? How many miles? Was the car beaten on or taken care of? Its very hard to make a diagnostic with this little information.
Yeah Im pretty sure its from disconnecting the BCS. I disconnected it on mine and it didnt throw a cel but thats cause mines a 1G. Looks like someones taking a trip to the junkyard like ArmyGSX said.
Turbo xs mbc is a bleeder type boost controller, basically it creates a small boost leak in the signal line to the waste gate which could be why your getting a CEL. Wind the screw all the way in and see if your light clears. Or disconnect your battery for 10 minutes, which clears your cel for a...
My car did that too, move the fuel line thats attached to the fuel pressure regulator around and see if the engine responds at all. If not then I'm all out of ideas.
When you changed your plugs did you lower them with a rubber hose or just drop them in? Coulda hit off the head and changed the gap if you dropped them in.
to check if your ISC motor is bad use an ohm meter and measure the resistance between the top left and the top middle of the plug, should be around 28 ohms, if more replace it.
You can use a 2g maf with a translator which is an upgrade over the stock 1g MAF. And no dont drive your car without a maf.http://www.vfaq.com/mods/2GMAF-1G.html
My car has this strange problem where it wont run if the hose that connects to the fuel pressure regulator isnt in the right position? When the cars running if I move the hose around the engine dies. If you look at the picture, its the hose im pointing to, Ive changed the line to a shorter hose...
OK this morning I checked the antifreeze and oil and they both looked fine, no milkshake. Then I started thinking and a while back I had to replace my cam position sensor and I'm thinking maybe the timing is off. If the timing is off can my engine overheat? What should my timing be set at if...
@gstryyder Yes the fans come off and no i took the heat shield off. How would that affect temperature.
@DwrDsm how would I know if my water pump is bad?The aluminum rad on the car is really thick, One of my friends said it could be overheating because the fans arent powerful enough to draw...
My car randomly overheats for what seems like no reason, the temperature gauge spikes( to the red) shortly after boost, but it also spikes at idle. The only time its not extremely hot is when im cruising on the highway. I know its not the gauge because I installed a manual temp gauge too. I dont...
