I just finished up my holset hx-35 swap. I have a strange issue that just came up. I took the car for a ride up the street and it didn't feel to really be boosting. I went about 1/4 mile in all. Upon pulling back into the garage the car stalled. That is when this starts but will not stay running occured. It seems to start up no problem but then it looses power and will not stay running. Any ideas on what to check 1st? I can not get it to keep running by flooring the car. The thing is it is at 1400rpms at 100% throttle. I attached a link logs of me keeping it running! Any advice would be apprecated!

The log implies to me that you have an electrical problem with your sensors. Giver that you were having problems with things plugged into the wrong place in the harness, have you pulled the ECU and checked the sensor grounds. That would be the first thing to look at.

hmm. I have not done that yet. Why do you think it is a sensor problem? I am just wondering how you came to that conclusion?
 
Never mind, I don't think it's blown, I was just grasping for straws trying to figure out why your TPS was all over the place but you explained that you had it open trying to keep the car running.

Was it acting like it wasn't running on all four? Are you getting any errors?

What injectors are you running? Your settings say you are using -18.4% correction but no change to deadtime.

From your other posts it sounds like you have been fighting this for awhile perhaps even before the turbo install and ECMLink?
 
No car ran fine for the last few months.The China Evo3 finally bit it so I picked up a holset. Injector ar rc550s. I forgot to change deadtime. I couldn't find the settings in v3. I am a v3 newbie of sorts. I am not sure about running on all 4. Today I couldn't get it started at all. It backfired twice if that is relavant. The battery is dead so who knows. I am thinking the altenator may have went bad but maybe I too am reaching.
 
Oh and before it was a stupid issue. o2 hooked up to the cruise control but that was a while ago.
 
Car is running. Intercooling piping at the intercooler inlet was completly blown off. Live and learn!
