Few things happened today...

1. The Voltage is reading over 4 volts.
2. The Car upon starting stalls out as if it were starved for fuel which caused eventually caused a CEL

Basically when turning the car on I have to keep revving the engine to like 3k RPM off and on until it doesn't try and stall out. Could this just be the computer trying to configure itself?

once its been running for a minute the car drives fine. At 1 point the car was revving by itself from 1k-1,500 as if I had cams.

The whine is intoxicating though, and the car pulls quite nicely

 

There are two plugs that you have to unplug when you install the blower, when you reinstalled the blower you probally switched them around when you reinstalled everything i think one is for either the vsa or the throttle body and the other is for the idle air control. just find the two plugs that are the same in that area and switch them around, I had the same problem, once i swaped them it was perfect. Who installed it?

 

Brett over in Livingston.

I don't have a VSA, and NJPrettyBoyz said it maybe the Idle Air control. Do you have any pictures that you can show me of which plugs your talking about?

 

Matter of fact... I'll go take a picture right now if it helps if you can give me a few minutes to go take em and upload em

 

No pics, sorry. Just check for the only two plugs oround the intake area that are the same. Could also be the IACV, I also had that problem.

 

I highly doubt it. I labeled them when I pulled them off.

And the stalling didn't happen when we started it up the first time. His problems are weird since they seem to not happen everytime. The one thing that stays the same is the ESM is reading 4.7 volts and it doesn't change even when I turn the screw.

I'm gonna go fire up the engine right now and see if it attempts to stall out

 

Okay... now she turns on and idles fine... I just hope it isn't like this everytime I start her up when shes cold.

 

Did it stall on the way home?

 

I went to visit my mother in Elizabeth... and when I went to go turn it on, it did the samething that happened when I was trying to leave your garage.

Also on the way from Newark to Elizabeth... the RPM's were bouncing up between 1k-1.5k from Newark To Elizabeth... thats when the CEL came on and then when I parked at my mothers house for maybe a 1/2 hour it did the same thing stalling out after trying to turn it on. I have to rev the engine as if I had a hoopty to prevent it from stalling.

 

Definetly sounds like it's something with the IACV. PM Sent.

 

what voltage is the ESM supposed to read? It could be faulty. I recall reading that happening before.

 

2.84volts

 

2.93. Its a 6 Speed.
Either way his is reading way too high.

 

Def. to high if it's reading 4 volts.

 

The car seems to be driving fine right now... I'm just worried about tomorrow morning when I start her back up.

 

man....everytime someone gets a charger installed it seems like theres a thread saying something doesnt work. makes me wanna never go boost.

 

JB you should be alright now

 

Maybe the IACV is sticking, I had the same problem so i took it apart cleaned it, lubed it and i haven't had any problems with it since.

 

Just minor stuff that needs to get sorted out. In the end, its well worth the power and there is nothing like the whine of a supercharger.

 

i duno, my 3.5 screaming sounds pretty nice.

 

Started the car up again...

Car at idle is idling like it has cams done... goes from 1k to 1.5k... I don't think it can cause real damage but I don't want any morons thinking I'm revving at them.

 

it;s gotta be the esm if it's reading 4 volts.. even if it's not the esm's fault I would get it replaced.

 

sup dudes, jay i have a almost new IACV for sale if you want to test it out. ill call you tomorrow and swing by with the OBD scanner. i bet you the code is p1399 or the misfire codes. i hope your kit didnt come with a bad esm, that might be a little pricey..............

 

even if it did and it's a new kit i'm sure comptech will replace it for free.

 

Hey How did tapping into the ecu turn out for you guys..

 

Yeah try switching them first like my man said, and did you get the comtech fuel management system too, the red one with the blue cuffs

 

we were able to get it done relatively easily. thanks for your help bro..

 

Are you talking about the Fuel Pressure Regulator that goes near the firewall?

If I recall b4 someone mentioned the FPR being set to low and this maybe the case with mine being that this was originally installed on an Accord and I'm running the HBP...

Anyone else can shine some light and provide ideas

 

you need a fuel pressure gauge before you start adjusting that

 

Alright so I met up with Withoutcomp1 tonight and plugged in an obd2 and came up with misfires on all cylinders and I was running to lean. We Guestimated looking at my FPR and his and I adjusted it accordingly and the car runs a bit better. The CEL didn't come back on yet.

I also had to purchase a new ESM because Scott couldn't get the Voltage under a 4.4. Another $150 down the drain.

 

Oh yeah btw...

Big thanks to Steve for coming to help out! Cool guy and sick ride.

 

Yeah he is cool guy and that ride is breath taking. You two need to run at the track a boosted 6spd vs boosted auto.

 

Okay so I just ordered the AEM wideband...

I'm also going to need a Fuel Pressure Gauge and maybe a boost gauge correct? Exactly what gauges and brands should I look into getting.

 

autometer: boost gauge and fuel pressure gauge. (the electrical ones)
A/F ratio: AEM wideband for sure.

Make sure your charge pipe is air leak free also. Maybe you need new spark plugs. I don't know just making little suggestions.

If you're using the standard pulley that comptech provides (3.5lbs) then your fuel pressure should be at 40psi. Hope this helps and good luck

 

As of right now I'm using IK22's and the HBP

 

No problem, Here are some pics of the gauges, i will give you a call with the prices tommorow.

 

IK22's = correct
I don't remember what the fuel pressure is supposed to be with the HBP. Either higher or lower but i think that it's supposed to be higher maybe 45-50lbs.
