the map sensor in the ecu is tuned to read 11 psi. im only running 7psi. I dont kno all the details of the ecu because i bought it off a frend. im not sure what limp mode means either. it sputters in 1st n 2nd gear around 4 or 5grand

so you havent acutally been tuned?

probably leaning out like crap. Im guessing you dont have a wideband as well.

1. Is the check engine light on? If so, read the codes & get back to us :-)
2. Did you gap the plugs properly? Are you running the proper spark plugs?
3. Are you using a wideband to monitor your air fuel ratios? If not, don't drive the vehicle under full throttle conditions.
4. Contact phearable.net directly for further technical support if needed.
