unplug maf sensor, that sets your car into dummy mode. you have to hit a wall before your car gets damaged in that mode.

buttt.....you'll burn ALOT of gas and it'll make you slow as a ****.

^^ lol thats crazy.. remember, this is a 6-7 hrs drive.. I would drive a slightly crappy tune for like 1-2 hrs but 7 hrs will be like abusing the car.. what if something blows in the middle of nowhere or the car start fire haha 10 mins of fire will toast the entire car before any help gets there.. so stock injectors and just stock ecu will be better?

Mr_Meaty

putting the stock (smaller) injectors back in is gonna make the car run LEANer, not RICHER. Now 550injectors and stock ecu (no blue) will make it run richer, if you wanna try that.
I'd say just run like you are and take a break ever 2 hours or so. That's what I'm doing on my drive to AZ on Wednesday. My cruize AFRs are pretty steady at 14.5, but a little off throttle stuff and it bounces like crazy...but it's been REAL bad this last week...like 17s!

looks like ill be towing... one of the injectors was leaking fuel. the start up was smooth but it started sputtering after a bit (aem doesnt have a vac line on it either). still need gauges/exhaust/vac block/dumptube to be put on.

I've tried running 550s on stock ecu and its crap, car dies if i i press on the throttle to much.. thats what i thought too meaty stock injectors will make it leaner.. but i dont know stock injectors and just ecu.. i think im gonna run it the way it is right now, afrs was actually better today. i just need an oil restrictor so i wont destroy my ballbearing

huh?

it puts your car into dummy mode, and makes you run rich..

safemode. think of computers. damnit. haha

^^ haha i mean cant drive the car 7 hrs like that, it would be like 10 hrs driving time then, and how many times would i have to foul my plugs..

Mr_Meaty

so...when are you starting your drive?
I was running rougher then I like since I got the higher flowing air filter and the new midpipe, so I disconnected my battery to clear my long term fuel trims....haven't started the car yet hope I can get to work!
But yeah, my 5 hour drive starts tomorrow!

jrodTc

Why are you going thru all this trouble of removing injectors and all sorts of stuff. Just put the greddy fuel map on your emanage. That is notoriously rich and safe. Like Meaty said, putting your stock injectors back in will cause an even leaner condition. Save yourself the trouble and just put the greddy map on.

^^ it actually is on,with injectors already.. the map is fine at WOT but lean at cruise and idle and get lean codes.. 7 hrs drive and just looking for some ideas if there are any than running what i have now

jrodTc

The emanage doesn't control your cruise AFR's. Your stock computer does. So, you might have a bigger problem.

aen

you won't foul a plug, matt drove his like that for daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaays before he got his emanage working haha

yeah that's one of my question if it can tune idle and cruise afrs since i was thinking it wouldnt so any map loaded would be useless.. but aem fic can tune it right? actually afrs has gone a lil better, i was thinking the lean code comes from partial throttle, i better just hook the blackbox in. I dont know about other problems though, it been like that since after install.. i would say its tune related

Mr_Meaty

If you have a blackbox already, then through that on and it shoudl solve your partial throttle cruizing issues.

havent received it though, usps is getting worst everyday.. we'll see how it helps but i've heard the software isnt user friendly haha

Mr_Meaty

I've heard it's pretty much set up properly for our cars, so there should not be any need to mess with the software for it.

^^ thais what joe and Paul said! Its PnP but tuners can make adjusments if needed!

so it comes already with a basemap preinstalled right? like the basemap on the dezod technotes?



where have you been java? -- sorry for the threadjack..
