dood, just tow it to your tuner and have them fix it. it could just be the tune after all.

 

I agree with tune x2!!!

 

bump. have a pretty similar problem and its frustrating as FAWK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

do you have a wideband?

 

blox c cams, no tune of course its gonna run like ****.

 

I'm on a TUNED ECU with the MATCHING GM 3BAR MAP Sensor. I understand that not all engines run the same even if they're nearly identical in setup, but Blox C cams themselves ain't gonna make my car mis-fire like crazy and fouling out my plugs.







kyden - I don't have a wide-band.

 

you put an aggresive cam in your car and expect it to run good. not sure what there is to misunderstand here. the car is untuned, an ecu from another car thats been tuned is not considered tuned.

 

Look, I'm not expecting it to run perfect, I just want it to run good enough for me to drive the car to the tuner. So what you're saying is, the crazy mis-firing is expected? ****, I hope not because I've installed cams in other cars (and my car with a prevous setup) and drove it UNTUNED OK just to get to the tuner. My car is UNDRIVEABLE to get to the tuner because of the problem.

And those cams aren't even that agressive; their profile is less than the B/Stage 2 cams.

 

i love ht. you ask for help and they give you criticism.

 

i love HT too. someone asks for help you tell them what could be wrong and they tell you, you are wrong.

 

It sounds like an ECU problem... I'd try swapping in a stock ECU just to see if it will drive in gear OK... obviously don't go into boost... but if the problem is it's breaking up AS SOON as it's in gear and you try to drive it... chances are the maps are not setup right for your car.

Also you didn't give any relevant information...

WHAT ECU?
In what way is it "tuned"
What was your friends setup that ran fine with it? same motor/trans? same obd?

It's almost certainly your ECU or map.

 

Yeah... but what's so legitimate about "you have blox c cams, of course it's gonna run like ****"?

I know what it's like to run on aftermarket cams with a stock ECU, base map, and a tuned map from another car, and it's definitely not like what I'm experiencing right now.



It's a chipped P28 dyno tuned with Crome on my friend's EK (2.0L C1, 469whp/382trq), both the MAP sensor and ECU are from that car, and were working just fine right before I pulled them out.

I have another chipped ECU that I can try swapping out the maps just incase one of them has been short-circuited some how.

It's boiling down to either the ECU or my wiring harness, since I did re-wrap it and did some soldering. I'm gonna open it up, and hopefully I'll find something obviously wrong (LOL).

Appreciate the advice!
