Hey guys, I've searched the forum here on this issue, but I just can't find one that is similar to my problem, or one with any answers.
So I'll just start with when the check engine light came on, I was sitting in a parking lot the second day I just finished breaking in my new engine, yes on the first day I did get on it a little getting up to about 85% throttle, not 100%. The second day I didn't get that high up on the throttle. It was a little hot out, so in the parking lot I would start the car so the ac would kick in, then after a little bit I'd shut her off to save gas. I did that maybe about 4-5 times, the last time I noticed the check engine light came on. Now I do have an Apexi SAFC in the car, but I didn't change anything on it, I just went to the monitor channel. The car ran fine the days before.
Now the car isn't tuned after I got it back, I still need to get it tuned, it's pretty much a fully built bottom end and the top end is built up as well. There is a balance shaft delete kit, and for now stock injectors and fuel pump. The car is a 2.3 stroker with a new T28 turbo. On my profile, the list of parts on my car isn't up to date yet, until I finish getting new fuel parts on.
I've already taken out the MAF and cleaned it with MAF cleaner, but that didn't do anything to fix the problem, I even left the car over night with the battery unplugged to reset the code to see if it would go away, and no luck with that as well.
When I start the car, if I just kinda tap the throttle it sounds like it's gonna die, then it comes back, unless I hold the throttle more it does fine.
Does anyone have any ideas what might be wrong? I'm not sure if it just needs a tune that bad, or if it could be something else, any advice is very appreciated!
