Yes the wideband is getting its signal with the brown wire.
 
I guess I will just run the brown wire to the ecu and screw the gauge.

Although I would love to keep my wideband gauge but oh well.

I also think I just gave up with this whole tuning deal. I just might put the car to stock or take it to the dyno shop thursday or friday. I have never felt so defeated. I wish this were hockey to were I could beat the car to death and only get a 5 min penalty...
 
I would split another wire off the brown wire if you're going to do that. Then you'll run the brown wire to the gauge and to the ECU.

Don't give up. I hate to see people give up on something when they're almost there.

I will try that. But I just cant seem to get rid of the knock at low throttle. I did another BLT today and had a leak on the TB on the vacume nipples that were leaking at 3psi and I fixed that but my BLTer was leaking on the turbo for anthing more on the pressure.

If I understand this right the timing and fuel adjustments are for only wot correct?
 
Yes.

Did you adjust the knock conditions as I described above?

So your tester was leaking at anything above 3 psi?

Yeah its not bad but I can feel a little stutter in the car when I'm crusing. I am going to get a new knock sensor this week.

Now the BLT was leaking out the TB vacume ports and I fixed that. It was leaking out of the BOV line that goes to the BOV and I fixed that. Now the boost leak tester was leaking around the turbo. Not a good enough seal. So I have to make a new one. The one I made was too big around so I added a piece of exhaust pipe and a piece of rad hose that I had from my FMIC kit.

I was just using an air pig.
 
When the previous owner put the new motor in his mechanic (my buddie who is very very good with cars) got a little quick with the snips and cut the wires to the knock sensor right behind the sensor. He said they soddered them back together but its a 91 with 67k on the body so I assume that its probably bad. whats another $100 after I spent thousands.
 
That's the spirit - if you want to win at DSMs then complain less, spend money more often and work through problems instead of feeling defeated.

Hell, would you quit hockey just because you fell a game short of winning a tourney?

HA. Only won one tourney in hockey. Just the next time around I beat the crap out of the highest scorer on the other team. I'm kinda a sean avery type. I can score but I get under alot of peoples skin.

Anyways, I think the stock knock sensor is reading bad.
 
I got a new knock sensor on the way.
 
I had a half of a tank of e85 in the vehicle when I first got it running mixed with 93. I put a new fuel filter on the car before I got it running again do you think that could be clogged?

What are symptoms of a colgged fuel filter?
