Hey guys so i have big problems my 2G Eclipse now has a hard time starting and if it does its runs soooooo rought and dies after 3 - 6 seconds iv tried starting it like 5 times and no change it will not run this happened after I installed dsmlink in my 2g eclipse the guys at ECMTuning preloaded it with evo 8 tables, well i also reinstalled my 16g turbo, and removed my blue stock injectors and installed the older yellow top 510cc injecs that i had kickin around the guys at ecmtuning preset the yellow top injectors aswell thats why i took out my stock blue one out, but now my car is scaring me and i dont know what to do :( heres my log from ecmlink and please help me with this i never messed with any link setting when i got it I just plugged it in and started the car am i missing something?? could is be the injectors??? or cause evo 8 tables were perloaded??? or something else?? thanks in advance.

if it's tuned for an evo 8 maf and you dont have an evo 8 maf that's a problem. you should get the injectors flow tested and make sure they still work properly.
 
scale the injectors and choose what MAS etc your using??
what do you mean by this?? i lubbed the oring for the injectors and then installed them the guys at link said my link has been configured for the injectors?

i believe it says my mah is on stock not evo 8
 
nope im on my pc , do you have an email i can send you the file

please help this is my dd and now seems broken :(

alright guys so i have an update i talked to dave from ECMTuning and he suggested in might be bad injectors so took them out put my old 450cc ones in well my car start up and runs again :) but i noticed that the exhaust has like water come from it and if i rev it some smoke came out heres my updated log with whats happening to it please let me know what you think i think it also has a dtc code that im not aware of thanks again,

Hey guys please take a look at my newest log and let me know what you think i see whitish type smoke out of my exhaust same when i rev, dave suggested to use ECMLink's TPS adjustment ane idle-switch simulation so i enabled tps adjustments and enabled both enable idle switch operation , and simulate idle switch from tps is this correct, some one please look at this latest log and tell me what you think i also pullled a DTC's code 0443 Evaporative Purge Control Valve Malfunction not sure what this does but any info will help greatly thanks so much,

Since you put a 95 EPROM in your car once you bought link, swap your wires around or choose the invert CAS option because you have a 97.
 
I second the swap the wires and invert cas. I had the same problem with the spyder. I would crank it it would fire for a second, backfire then crank more. I swapped everything around it had to crank for 10-20 seconds more and then finally started and hasnt had a problem since.
 
Hey guys I have never used a 95 EPROM ecu I'm still using my 97 EEPROM ecu with link conversion my car starts up fine now but it was bad injectors so I swaped them out and now it's all good I noticed now my exhaust has white smoke comming from the exhaust which turns into water please tell me what can cause that and if u can tell me if my link needs to be ajusted when u view my last log that posted few posts up thanks,
