Update on my DSM, the ECU is on the way back from ECMTuning (again) and it checked out fine, wiring harness is mostly back it the car, wires are run for the SD MAP and IAT sensors, intake manifold is removed and tapped for the MAP sensor, narrowband o2 sensor is removed and wideband is setup for narrowband simulation, MAS is removed, and I'm modifying the factory intake lid to work without the MAS.

I'm hoping to get the intake manifold and wiring harness back in on Monday. Then I'll have to wait until my ECU and SD sensors arrive on Friday, the 11th. Then I'll only have 2 days to get my IAT bung welded onto my throttle body elbow, install the ECU, and dial in and tune for Speed Density.

If everything goes right, I'll be there with my DSM next Sunday. If anything goes wrong, I'll still be there but DSMless. Here's hoping!

If it's not starting check spark and fuel. Running rough could be anything and without more detail I can't really help. Could be out of time, clogged fuel filter, bad gas, bad spark plugs, bad spark plug wires, boost/vacuum leaks, etc, etc.

 

[sortiz92]

Damn dude well all he did was change the injectors and I whent ahead and change the sequence off he's spark plug wires to a 4123 and 4321 valve cover cause the guy he got it from has them wrong...it is the same sequence for a gst right?...and pos he told me to ask you guys if any of you had time to go check he's car and started up he could hook you up with some cash he lives around the mountwood walmart area...who ever is down just live me a contact number so he can tell you were excatly he lives

 

[copper90]

im down to help out. maybe we get together an go give him a hand. what do you think nathan.

 

[sortiz92]

Alright thanx dude well how can he contact you?

 

[fwbt]

I'm down to give a hand, I should be up and running by lunch with mine. Who knows i might be able to get my LTFT's right again...

 

[fwbt]

Well, I'm looking better for the meet. She cranks and runs albeit a little rough, think I can get my closed loop tune together before Sunday. I may not run the track but I know I can be there now.

 

[9!'clipseDOHC]

Awesome jim! I've got the basics for clossed loop figured out, I did mine and helped Larry out with his, if you need a hand just let me know.

Another update on my DSM. Wiring harness is rewrapped and rerun. Intake manifold is back in and everything is hooked up (except for the throttle body elbow which will need to welded). My ECU and SD sensors are now scheduled to arrive on Thursday, which is one day sooner then they were originally scheduled for!!! Things are moving along, time is my only enemy at the moment. 6 days 'til the meet!

 

[fwbt]

Ya know, who'd a thunk it that it'd take a DSM meet to finally get my car put back together too.

 

[Ed4G]

Hey everyone Names Edwin but Ed for short, not a DSM owner anymore but a fellow DSM lover and mitsubishi (at least) owner. Used to have a 98 GS-T i was going to start building but after a month of having the car the seller backed out and i didnt want any drama. i also owned a 95 gs and a 99 rs.

I currently own a 4G GT Eclipse (needed something reliable since i have to go to utep everyday) its stock for now but i have some pretty sweet plans for it.

Anyways... just thought i'd introduce myself. My friend in a 2010 lancer and myself will be rolling with you guys sunday. I know were going to ruin it and be outcasts but like i said i love DSM's and i would love to hang out for a while.
