Stock ECU gurus..

hmmm IJ.. I made up.. umm "malfunction"...errr... "indication"..uhmm.. "light"!

But i may just be wrong if he didnt mean CEL

 

[hottscennessey]

YES!:eek3dance

 

[IJ.]

SM Has that!!

It's the little green light down under the username!!

 

[hottscennessey]

Haha there ya go!

So Nick you're thinking either the ECU is trying to make my charge more difficult to light. Sorry lol. I just didn't follow that post.

I was just pointing out that the mixture is supposed to lean out as it warms.

Thanks for the help guys, I'm in the process of re-routing my IC pipes and re-locating the MAF sensor in a place where it will not become heatsoaked.

I re-set my ECU and code 24 cleared.. it only showed up after the MAF had become heat-soaked. I also noticed this is causing me to lose MAJOR power, I can actually feel it. Instead of the ECU just "cutting fuel" its actually retarding my timing causing a TON power loss. I was wondering why my traction problem had gone away.

I'll be posting pics later for those who have this problem, and where the MAF sensor should be located with a MAF setup.

Once again thanks everyone!

OK guys, all done. I highly encourage you to do this if you're using MAF-T and have the sensor anywhere that it is prone to heatsoak.

After:

BTW, BOV was moved to hot side of my IC.

good to go... it makes sense too. the way a hot wire maf works is the element inside reaches a certain temp. (can't remember the eaxct temp) when incoming air hits the element there is a temp change and that is how airflow is calulated based on those values..

heatsoak cause very well cause false readings..

Yup sir, I think I'm happy with the results.. I havn't gotten to test it much.

All I have to say right now is THANK GOD FOR FCO. When me and my friend were installing these pipes, one way or another the hose to my WG actuator came off, I took my car out for a beating and hit 26 psi, FCO saved my ass. Irrelivant, but just thought I'd share.

Now that I have a functioning WG its time to test this setup

 

[malloynx]

let it rip!!!!

 

[hottscennessey]

Wow, Huge difference! I actually have a consistant tune for once!
