That would be fun. I'm in Mississippi and this was a spur of the moment trip but I'm going to be coming back shortly with lots more free time and it will probably be in the TL.. i'll definately get a hold of you prior to leaving.

Anyways, can anyone enlighten me?
My car runs pig RICH
I know upgrading the injectors would but not that much. My A/F gauge dips to 10's. My CEL threw a code. Sure enough my ODB-II tool confirmed.
I cleared the code but am I just not boosting that much? I do practically have full bolt-ons. I do not have a boost gauge.

I hate to say it but this sounds all too fimiliar.... I even posted a Youtube on my problem and it was because my car was not boosting. You say ur boosting 3psi with a HBP.... So what this means is that a stock pulley will net u 5psi but with a Underdrive crank pulley it will net you 0psi
SO if the HBP gives you 8-9psi subtract 5 and that gives you your 3psi and 10.0 on ur A/F gauge.

of course your gonna run rich. when i had my PnP harness repaired awhile back, i reinstalled the acm for a couple of days and the a/f at WOT was in the 10's.
EDIT: just read your post. you sure the unit is defective.

What am I overlooking?
FI/C was in bypass mode since day one until I went to the tuner's.
We plugged it in and and couldn't get MAF to work. He switched settings from percentage, voltage, etc and back. Nothing.
He tested the harness, it was good. He opened one of his AEM FI/C and it worked. Not sure what why it wouldn't be defective?

Okay, now I'm just getting annoyed.
Just drove home from work and Check Fuel Cap is on the MID.
I did a quick search and seems like PCV/PURGE CONTROL SOLONOID may be the culprit.
Has anyone else had to problem?
Is it related to the S/C?
Did I do something when crushing the fuel pump regulator?

I had the same thing happen with my blower after going over a big bump at speed. Doesn't affect power so I left it. Now with the turbo it's gone, the price you pay for running a highly modified car. If it really bothes you have a shop find th issue.

Ahem!
Souljah..what you're describing is more related towards a leaky gas cap.
That code's got nothing to do with the SC or crushing the FPR...right now its just a message on the MID, but soon you will get a CEL, with an Evap code..the whole main issue is having a CEL and driving with it..
Try changing the gas cap!
Me..i got a scanner, so everytime i get that, i just reset the ECM...too lazy to go to the dealer and order a gas cap.
And another thing...with that being gone with the turbo is irrelevant..TC,SC or NA...nothing to do with a bunch of fumes in ur gas tank

Hey...does anyone here have the pre-cat deletes with the sc? I wanna know if they are really worth it. Also, what do y'all think about running a light weight-stock diameter drive pulley(UR) as well? Here is my setup: CT SC, HBP, AEM F/IC, J-Pipe, Test Pipe, CT Cat-Back.

not only that...another reason why you should have the least amount of restriction after the heads with FI is to avoid high combustion temps and avoid leaning out..exhaust gases travel both ways..and those gases that travel back, make their way into the combustion chamber at valve overlap (through the exhaust valves) , mixing with the fresh A/F...it all leads to more detonation by increasing temps and throwing off the A/F/R....but again, like ive said before...most when they recommend an exhaust upgrade with FI, their only reason is to compliment for extra power, when in fact, it can be safety, depending on how much FI, exhaust size, bends, and blah blah blah

Great to have you back! I meant to PM you sooner but I had a death in the family right when I saw you on here. I just inherited another car so I may be doing my first import build with a boosted J35. Got to decide to try and break the 9 second barrier or turbo the TL and go for 11s. Cost would be about the same.

Turbo the TL because it will actually turn more heads to see a 40k luxury car beat almost anything on the road. Just the other day I make an sti stand still and he got upset/angry/confused and also a srt-4 at the light was asking why I have gauges on a TL and when he lost he was upset.

I'm leaning toward the TL. The GN is already there. 602rwhp and 3000lbs will go 9s but I have a long way to go to make it legal at the track. Its a true street car and believe me it gets some impressive reactions when opened up on the street. However, like I said it's already there, only mods are safety related. The TL would get a 150% hp increase which sounds like more fun than installing safety items.

LOL. This is definately one of the better forums.. I left turbobuick many years ago. In fact, I think my signature still reads 12.9 or 11.9. I did go over some of my old kill stories from my younger years a few months ago. So many good and bad memories over there.

I don't have any fuel system mods. Just using the AEM F/IC. Stock injectors and fuel pump. No meth. The guy I go to was telling me that I would be alright w/o these upgrades. What is your opinion?
