    2G How to improve handling characteristics of my AWD 2g?

    The MAF was in there just to limp the car to a local car show before I got it tuned on speed density.The chassis stiffness between the two cars is drastic. Like I said, it's immediately apparent that one car is a Chrysler product, and one car is a proven race car product. I have the luxury of...

    2G How to improve handling characteristics of my AWD 2g?

    I really appreciate the invite! I've never made it out to VIR, but maybe this is the excuse I need to make the trip! I'll let you know if I decide to come down there.Also forgot to mention, I have a set of Compworks fender braces that I haven't installed. Do these offer an improvement in any...

    2G How to improve handling characteristics of my AWD 2g?

    My apologies. My wheel and tire combo isn't what it should be if I'm after sharp handling. I'm running 18x9.5 Vordoven Forme 9's with 255/35/18 Continental Extreme Contact DW tires. I'm sure I should be running a meaty tire on a 17 inch wheel, but damn the 18's look good. I know that I can't...

    2G How to improve handling characteristics of my AWD 2g?

    I fear this thread will come off as a "Just bought a stock dsm, ordered a chinese gt35r turbo kit from ebay, want to be fast" type of threads, but I assure you, that is not my intention.I own a 1999 GSX that I bought absolutely bone stock about 5 years ago. It's gone through several phases...

    2G Identifying coils - '99 2G

    My bad, I should have been more clear. I know the correct firing order, but I don't know which coil is which. I removed the coils from the bracket, modified the bracket, and waited about a month before reinstalling the coils onto the bracket. Since the coils have no markings to identify which...

    2G Identifying coils - '99 2G

    Long story short, I relocated my coil packs. It took me a while to complete the project, so when I removed the coils from the bracket I lost track of which one went where. I now need to know how to identify which coil pack operates cylinders 1 and 4, and which one operates cylinders 2 and 3...

    2G Sanity check..would this cause an oil leak?

    Yeah, after some more research I figured out that the sprocket does touch the seal. I'll edit my original post to avoid confusion. Thanks!

    2G Sanity check..would this cause an oil leak?

    I recently restored my 99' engine bay. All new gaskets on my stock 7 bolt long block.As soon as I got it running, I noticed an oil leak on the timing side. After removing the timing covers, the oil pump sprocket nut fell on the floor. The sprocket is still on the pump, but just barely. Talk...

    ECMlink Car won't start on SD

    Well, PTE confirmed that I have an oddball injector. They didn't seem to have any comment on why all of them are engraved "950", but they did confirm that one of them is actually a 750cc. So I guess I'll be looking for a new set of injectors and report back.
  10. smills1840

    ECMlink Car won't start on SD

    I've been running them for probably 2 years now, and I'm just now noticing the different numbers. They all have "950" engraved on them though, so I'm going to call PTE and see what they say.

    ECMlink Car won't start on SD

    17113744 8305 17113744 E029 17113742 0045 17113744 E029Those are the numbers printed on the injectors.Also, I believe the reset all button only resets the settings that were there when the tune is first loaded up. It doesn't actually reset them to OEM values.

    ECMlink Car won't start on SD

    You're awesome guys, I really appreciate the help!Also, on the individual deadlines, I noticed one of my injectors has a different serial number than the others. I google d the serial numbers and the odd injector comes up as a 750cc injector, while the others come up as 1000cc injectors...

    ECMlink Car won't start on SD

    I got the stock o2 sensor to cycle. I had narrowband sim enabled, but didn't realize that I had to assign a wideband pin before I could disable narrowband sim. Dave on the ECMlink forums helped me out there.But even though the front o2 voltage moves now, it doesn't fluctuate like it's supposed...

    ECMlink Car won't start on SD

    Here is a (very long, sorry) updated log.Several things I noticed:1. Front O2 still isn't cycling, and not a single one of the fuel trims moved for over 17 minutes. They're all at 0%.2. The idle slowly rises. It starts off at 650ish, and by the end of the log it's almost at 1,200.But I...

    ECMlink Car won't start on SD

    Alright, I'm at the car now. As soon as I plugged my laptop in, I checked both my firmware version and my ECMlink software version.Firmware version: 3.28.119 Software version: 3.29.64I'm going to attempt the other suggestions now.

    ECMlink Car won't start on SD

    I understand how SD works, and how it differs from MAF. Also, I've gone through the update process, and received a file to download. As far as I know, that is the file that we're looking at.Maybe I'm missing something, but this official literature from EcmLink says nothing about the PC side...

    ECMlink Car won't start on SD

    Roger that. I'll set the pin assignments later. Also, I'm using a stock 02 sensor. I'm familiar with the difference between narrowband and wideband. I attempted to simulate narrowband with my wideband sensor while running my black box ECU, and it left a sour taste in my mouth. I'm sure Link does...

    ECMlink Car won't start on SD

    Just to clarify a couple things:I'm using a stock style of sensor in the o2 housing. The wideband sensor is in the downpipe. I do not want to use a wideband sensor to simulate narrowband.I'm using an lc-2 wideband.Do I need to be connected to the ECU to edit the PC-Side of the pin...

    ECMlink Car won't start on SD

    Really not sure whats going on, but just now when I opened the SD log I posted, I was able to add VE as well as several other values that weren't there before. I guess I won't complain, but seems kind of weird.

    ECMlink Car won't start on SD

    Alright, maybe I'm just forgetting what I did last night, but I got the car to start and idle pretty well on SD just now. I'll post the logs so you guys can see if anything stands out.I let the car idle for a long time on SD, and I can tell right away that the front O2 sensor isn't cycling...

    ECMlink Car won't start on SD

    I had originally set the MAP pin location to Mdp. When that didn't work, I set it to baro as a troubleshooting step based on other threads. The didn't work either, obviously.I'll set it to MDP.My question is, if the car idles relatively well on maf, shouldn't it start/idle relatively well...

    Yeah, I did that and still nothing. I also tried the baro setting, didn't work either.

    ECMlink Car won't start on SD

    Not yet, but I've it supposed to be possible to run the car with it, right? I have the IAT sensor already, just don't have it installed yet.

    ECMlink Car won't start on SD

    The Omni MAP sensor is plugged into the factory MDP sensor plug. I've tried selecting both MDP and BARO, and still nothing. I've also tried a WIDE range of injector settings, none of which seem to make a difference. Also, I can get the car to start on MAF with quick guesses at global and...

    EVOscan Help with CeddyMods SD Logging

    Well, I know several people using CeddyMods and speed density, and several professional tuners use it successfully as well. So I know that it works. However, nobody has been able to tell me why I can't log certain parameters in Evoscan correctly, and why I can't start my car on SD. The...

    EVOscan Help with CeddyMods SD Logging

    Also, when attempting to start the car on the ceddy SD rom with stock VE table, the car fires for about 2 seconds then dies. When using the MAF rom that I've been using for years, the cars rind fine. I assume this has to do with the VE table, but I can't log any of the necessary SD parameters to...

    This is obviously kind of a stupid question, but I'll ask anyway. I have the exact same compressor, and I notice the gun you use requires more CFM than our compressor supplies. Did you have any trouble getting a nice finish with your clear coat? I know if a gun doesn't get enough air, it can...
