Part of the initial report was: "The ide screw on the throttle body is all the way out."

If "ide" is "idle," as in idle air bypass, then wouldn't "all the way out" equal high idle? Could screwing the idle screw in be the simple solution?

All the way out, as in not touching the bracket ...

Alright, I found no vac leaks or anything like that. Also, I cant find Idle advance in megatune, Im using 2.888a btw. Its weird though, because it was all running fine, then just the other day I woke up to go start it, and thats when it started doing this.

Aright, so in park, im idling at 1800 rpms, and in gear at 1000. The ide screw on the throttle body is all the way out.

Any suggestions?

Not too sure what you find a "smark remark". Regardless, as a helpfull note, you might want to look more into your turbo setup. Based on your engine type, Hybrid t3/t4s would be great, along with a Co2/Met injection. Take out any intercooler, add a concealed CO2 pipe, which wil drop the temp to ...

Would an O2 sensor do me any good if the car im building will only be at idle in the staging lanes then WOT for 6-7.5 seconds? Even for datalogging there is a little time for the O2 to show a change isnt there?


You have a 6 second car, and dont know if you need an O2 sensor? How did you manage ...

Alright, so since my post got removed from here for using the ms2/extra, I went ahead and swapped it back to the ms 2.687 and am still having the same issues. As soon as I hit the gas, it tries to stall, if i SLOWLY push the gas in, it tries to rev to about 2k, then starts sputtering. I get lean ...

From reading that, alot of it has to do with assembly issues and a little with the firmware. But when I bought it, it was pre-assembled and Im sure they did it right.

I wanted to add one more thing, NORMALLY, the injector light flickers when the car is starting and running, then the center (wue) is usualy on till it hits the temp thats needed. But when it stalls, the injector light doesnt flicker till I reset the power to the ECU. Also, I have never seen the ...

Alright, so got the car idling and everything the other day.

Tried to drive it down the road the other day, and the MS cuts out. Try to start the car, none of the lights would flash. So I cut power to the MS, and turned it back on, start the car get it idling. Does the same thing after a few secs ...

Thanks guys, been tons of help.

The thing is, I have fuse blocks, relays and 12 pin terminal rails laying around and have given thought to just making my own, with stuff I already own, instead of wasting 60-90 bux on one. Just didnt know if it served any other purpose, and just wanted to make sure ...

Are you saying, use relays, but just dont waste the time/money using a board?

heh, I know your feeling, it actualy took me a couple weeks to figure that out. What kind of car/year is it, and I might be abe to hep ya....

Thank you so much, I have been looking for that answer forever,lol

So I been sitting here debating on the relay box for ms. Although I do have the car already hooked up and idling, but just thought maybe for preventing of electrical issues. Now, what is the point of a relay? Such as, lets say I run a wire from 12v source, to a toggle switch, then to the MS, why is ...

Got medically discharged from the army, cant afford family car anymore, so now Im desperate to get my project car running just so we have transportation to the store and stuff. SoIm looking for any help at all ...

Alright, so my first ECU had either a default or it was wired wrong. So after getting it fixed like new, from the great people at DIY, I wanted to rewire and make sure it is 100% right. So if someone could please confirm the ones I know/think I know, and help me with the ones Im not too sure about ...
