MAFT question?

[98mitsubishigst]

Okay, so im trading my 1994 F150 on sunday for a 1995 Talon TSi converted to a eclipse for my Daily Driver. =)

But apparently this kid says the tune is all messed up..

He says he's using that Mass air flow translator or some crap? he used this what ever device and tuned all the settings down to 0?

Anyways, i may just trailer the car home its a 45 minute drive.. But if i can't the way i wanna get the car home was drive it obviously..

Now he has no mods on this car besides a exhaust with the muffler chopped off as i know. He says there are NOT bigger injectors or a bigger pump, so for what ever reason i don't understand why he would mess with tuning ...

If i just bring my mass air flow sensor off my GST, and throw that in, along with taking battery out and resetting the ecu that way, shouldn't the stock settings be restored? and i can drive the car home like that??


Correct me if I'm wrong!

Thanks again tuners!

you are 100% correct, you could always take a phillips screwdriver and take the cover off and zero the knobs out as well

he says if i do that he's scared ill lean it out or be to rich? i said well if its stock injectors and pump and ecu.. it'll go to stock settings for the ecu and it'll be fine..

then he said yeah but the car won't know how much boost to run. which will be to rich or lean..

am i being a moron here or does this kid trying to confuse me because I'm pretty sure if i reset the ecu under stock mods. it'll be stock boost...? he doesn't have a boost controller.

If theres no boost controller and hes got the wastegate vacuum line attached properly then the car should run factory boost. The ECU doesnt contol how much boost the car runs.
Set the MAFT to factory settings and you should be fine.

I'm just going to swap my gsts maf into it, and boost home. I'm pretty sure I'm fine.

Yes, if its in blow through there is no "stock settings" you can zero every thing out and it may still run like crap. Blow through is used to vent the blow off valve to the atmosphere. So you may need to take your rec stuff as well.
