Hi all,its a 91 t with a 3rd gen motor all the bolt ons,power comander fc ecu. i recently turned up the boost to 15psi. at first it drove perfect for about three months,then all of the sudden the car boged under boost.now every time i floor it the check engine light flickers and it feels slower unless i floor it 3/4 of the way then it runs great no problems.i dont get it?????whats wrong with my car?
that doesn't sound very good at all mang...I know u have the power fc and all, but I am unsure if u still need the FCD. But flashing is a odd one to me
Thats interesting Hyde, I did that in my firebird when I was 16 back in the day.... what terminals do u put it in...... the paperclip that is...and RS001, if u wanna do it cheap, go to advanced auto parts, they give u a machine to take out to the car, run the test, and give u what u need (info) for free
To give u an idea rsr001, with my 86 firebird waaay back in the dat, u would take a paperclip, unroll it, and place the two ends in the diagnostics box underneath the drivers side panel where the gas pedal is. Whichever the 2 holes u need to put it in. The check engine light will then flash a set number of times, like if if it beeps three times and then two times, stop three times two times, stop three times two times, stop this would indicate your first set of numbers in that line of code to be 32, 32, 32. It flashes the same number three times.... this means your first number in the code would be 32, then it would move to the second set of numbers... the check engine light would then read out three sets of the new numbers.... four flashes, stop one flash, stop, four flashes stop, one flash stop, four flashes stop, one flash stop, this indicates the second number in the order given by the ecu. So now u have already had three sets of 32, and three sets of 41, your your first two numbers are 32, 41 you continue this until the first set of numbers repeats itself.... so lets say there was only one number other than the starting number, it would finally look like this.
32, 41, 32
You can then go to the auto parts store and ask what these codes represent, and find out what u need to purchase to make the problem go away... Hope this helps. Brian
really confused here. i put a wire into the diagnostic box te1 tap into the e1.turned on the ignition check engine light lite up as usual then turned off? no code no blinking? so i tryed a paper clip same thing. how is that possible? im more then sure i did it correctly.any ideas???
i have a apexi power fc ECU.finaly spoke to a apexi dealer.they said its flashing a warning light for one of only two reasons. injectors maxed out or a bad map sensor.more then likely i need some good tunning. they said testing it with te1 to e1 wont work.so yea i know i did it right
