Question with the AEM EMS
After we tuned my car and unhooked the wideband. I went and connected the stock O2 Sensor and went to start the car and it did not start smoothly. It would not idle for crap and was hard to start. As soon as I disconnected the O2 sensor the car started right up and idled fine without any problems. I have 02 feedback turned off on the aem. Any suggestions why this would behave like this?

Re: Question with the AEM EMS (meanEG)
to add in, since im the one who tuned it, o2 feedback is turned off. so it should not affect anything when the o2 sensor is plugged in. the afr is around 14.3-14.7 at idle. the car was not calibrated for the wideband o2, and also not hooked up
Josh,
Kyle (the owner of the SC'd teg) wants me to come back up and tune his car when he gets another pulley, and also his cousin. Thats two people for sure right there.
maybe we can talk manny into coming back when he gets his new injectors.....
then we can have another dyno day but this time it will be much more organized.

I should be able to stop by next time around. Im thinking about a new setup and going straight GSR now using our new step-decked blocks. Yumm, 2.2 liter goodness.

Re: Question with the AEM EMS (roydogg)
k guys thanks for talking about tuning in my o2 question thread
Yes as Mase said the wideband was not wired into the aem ems. Which makes no sence why the unit acts all funny when it is plugged in. On my old car I could unplug my stock o2 sensor and plug in my wideband without any problems. It is like something is grounding out when I plug that in. Is there any other changes that may need to be made in the aem software or any pins that need to be unpined?

Re: Question with the AEM EMS (underpressure02)
why do you want to plug it in? Sounds like a sensor ground problem. I know that if i hook my ground output from my fjo to the sensor ground on the aem that the car will not idle and all sensor readings are way off.

Re: Question with the AEM EMS (racerxadam)
the reason I want to plug it in is so everything is right on the car. The other reason is so my pos autometer a/f guage works. Is there a way I can test or trouble shoot the ground or the wires to see if it is a bad ground or what.

Re: Question with the AEM EMS (2.2Lcivic)
the starter started to work again. I think it was a combo of a dirty ground and there was a lot of grease on the starter where it bolts into the tranny. I think it just was not making a good ground

Re: Question with the AEM EMS (underpressure02)
i forget if it is the white or the green wire at the o2 sensor that is the o2 ground. you could figure it out with a multimeter and check which wire has continuity to the sensor ground at the ecu, then i would depin that wire at the o2 sensor connector and see if it solves the problem. maybe its a bad o2, did you have any codes with the hondata hooked up? in closed loop?
