Not that anyone cares..

But, the revving issue I've been facing is finally fixed. I drove up to Hitech, to purchase a MSD Dis-4. Drove to LSE, and Ryan and John wired it up with my COP setup. After breaking into my car, cause Ryan shut the doors, and didn't know the security system automatically locks with the keys in the ignition, we broke into my car, and I went for a testdrive, only to find that it didn't fix anything. so, John and Ryan wasted more time figuring out what it was. Ultimatly, it was within my map it'self. The fixed timing was on, and the map was screwed up. So, using John's old map from his old red car that made 550, we used it, drive on the street around the shop with the dyno wideband, to make sure my A/F's where matched correctly. Finally, after wasting 8 hours, the issue is fixed. But, on my way home, I noticed the car's headlights, and gauges were rather dim. A quick check of my turbotimer showed the 9.92 v the car was running at. Great. I guess the downpipe that close to the alt. finally ruined it. I turn back into the shop, and had to replace the alternator on the car in the parking lot, with some jackstands and tools and spare alternator a friend had. Crappy day, and crappy night. I also found I've left my credit card at the shop too, which is not good. I guess I'll get that soon. I will say thanks to John for staying and helping out greatly. He had to go home to his wife whom wasn't too happy I kept him, and for that I'm sorry bud. I should also thank ryan for wiring, and helping with the tune, and the ride home from the shop to get Kate's car, to go get the parts, to go BACK to the shop for me to work on it. I will thank Katelyn for sitting there all day, doing nothing but wasting time with me, and helping with the alternator. ARG! I can't wait till this car goes down for the winter, and I can tear into it more to replace things. As of right now, it smokes a bit (probably burning off oil that was soaked into their alt. that's on the car (still works!)) but it drives! And, the revving is fixed. I can't really juice it till it get's tuned, as up top it's a bit lean. So, No boost till next spring once Everything else is thrown at it.

Again, thanks to those whom helped. This has been causing me stress for some time now, cause I coldn't figure it out. Now, I can move on.

Glad to hear it's fixed. As nice as the AEM is for ultimate tuning, it really sucks if you're not on top of it all the time and remember where all the individual maps and modifiers are. I think it'd be easier if we were down south and could drive these year round. Problem is I pretty much knew where everything was last year and forgot everything over the winter. I think I'll be real happy I went with the link, even though I have to have a bulky mass air sensor on the car for the first time ever.

Now put that thing away and get a nice realiable shitbox for the winter.

Like my LaZer!

[Kevin 1G Drummer]

Just curious, but why did you need jackstands to replace the alternator?

[Swifty1638]

Cause I had a longer bolt, with 2 nuts I used to but up against each other, since the old rod was coming out all the time. Over the winter, along with the other said parts, a Jay's racing alt. relocation kit is going on to eliminate the exhaust issue of melting shit.

Pussy!

Congrats man! Sucks for no boost for the whole winter, hope you get that thing tuned soon! I wanna see it on the rollers for the spring dyno day, how does that sound?

[turbotalon1g]

^good on you for fixing that stuff, '08 should be an eventful year for you.

[Swifty1638]

Thanks guys. It feels good ot get it fixed, rather then waiting. Atleast hte head doesn't come off over winter. I totally plan on being on the rollers, with all my parts, built tranny, and perhaps even a fresh coat of paint (that's $500 witha friend painting it..anyone care to donate some dollars to the cause?)

Ill donate a swift kick to your nuts.

Glad you figured out your car problems.

I'm glad its finally all over. Although those 11 hours of fun filled car stuff was a great way to spend a sat I am glad its done and the problem is finally fixed so you can move on with the car!

[FattyBoomBatty]

you have an aem that may not have been tuned properly and you were chasing other things around? Hmm... that's the first thing I would have checked.

But congratulation jism, glad you have it working well.

It was not just the fixed timing, we turned that off and the car still did not rev clean, so something else in that map was messed up, we did a compare and could not see anything. But now he just needs to finish the rest of his mods so he can pay someone to start over on a tune, instead of working off somthing that was already there.

PS, and you are right, no one cares, zing.

[Swifty1638]

I know no one cares, but I figured I may as well save my face a little bit here. Car likes to not go from a stop right now..not sure why. I think it's just the part-throttle tuning and it being soo cold out. Also, it will cut out, but kick back on rather sparatically. Also not sure if it's tune or not. But, I hope to have the car down for the winter sometime soon here.

yep.

[niterydr]

Well the car needs to be tuned. The previous map could be put on there as far as it would drive around better than the current one. There was an underlying coding issue apparently in the map that was fixing the timing, yet it wasn't showing up in any check boxes, or logs.
Thats what I get for not wiping it clean and starting with an existing map....

[turbotalon1g]

^u suck. (tongue smilie face here)

[Pushit2.0]

If the car drove better on your old map we can put that back on, I was just happy that the car would rev.
