Will know Saturday when I take it to Pruven, Also Al at Dynoflash is also offering to make any minor changes if needed to my flash but that's going to be next week if it's not a mechanical issue causing my problems.

thanks for the support

 

Hear from you Saturday then, good luck

 

I had all these same problems.. first of all ditch the cam geras, I want to get all new timing belts while i was out it just in case they strecthed since the car had almost 60K.. my front 02 sensor had burned out causing my plugs to fail.. replace the sparkplugs.. make sure your not throwing the inactive front 02 sensor code which will cause your ecu to dump fuel into the motor, beyond that my cam timing was off.. I have a great tuner who was able to point it out very quickly that the timing was off and was holding back the car.. lets just say he made it 100% .. plus put that stock airbox back on if you dont have it.

 

if your troubles started after the cam swap, verify the cam trigger is correctly clocked. With your cams & crank pulley lined up on the marks, remove the cam trigger cover & see that the smaller of the 2 prongs inside the cam trigger housing is pointing to roughly 10 oclock.

buy yourself some tools & do this yourself. It appears that you can read, so you can do this. As long as you have functioning limbs, you'll be fine.

put your stock bov & airbox back on, send your ecu back for a reflash for the your new mod set-up & go from there.

take care when handling your maf sensor. Make certain whoever did your intake install didnt damage the maf.

good luck

 

sounds good, I don't think I have all the pieces left for my stock air box... I'm going to try to stock BOV again, but only as an experiment, I need something that holds boost better... looking into APS or JDM MR as those are the 2 that don't have bad reviews....

 

OK, Saturday is now fading into Sunday. What did they find?

 

o2 sensor like people have been saying for weeks??

 

i tell you guys - this is really retarded

I hope this thread can be a poster case for how to NOT handle a minor problem with your car

This poor customer is like a cat chasing his tail calling every one and listening to everyone in god's creation - when

ALL he had to do was send an email or PM to the tuner - myself - and say in the email he had the front o2 sesnor code

I feel badly that he went through this problem but question WHY people make threads like these?

 

Again, I am sorry that you went through this multi page melodrama - but - Its impossible to help you if you dont call the source !! Next time leave a message

F 02 sensor is easy to diagnose - if you get the F02 sensor code you have to change it - easy fix

Good luck

 

Maybe because he didn't know what his problem was and he was trying to fix it himself so he didn't have to drive a couple of hours back to Pruven with his car running like sh*t and risk breaking something?

That's good customer service. Tell a customer what he is doing is retarded.

If I recall he called the people that did the install and they weren't much help initially and he couldn't get a hold of you. This thread has been edited once already for the type of sh*t you are getting ready to stir up.

 

Thanks all for your suggestions, I got finally fixed the stalling problem, it wasn't easy to deal with but I got done, thanks to pruven.

Al, your flash was awesome yes, but I posted on this forum because I was anxious to get immediate answers, it's hard to reach you and one thing I hate is playing email tag.. I'm not trying to offend you if you want me to edit or erase my posts I will.

the forum is a much and easier way to conversate and listen to various amount of peoples, tuners, mechanics, shop owners..

Think of it as my point of views and words as newbie who doesn't know much about cars but is getting a good idea thanks to the forum.

 

There was other factors why I didn't think it was the 02 sensor.

The light I drove home with and had the day I came down was P0171 sys too lean, secondly I've only had the actual p0131 no activity F02 ONCE... and it never came again just countless p0171 codes which maybe I guess eventually led to a dead 02, when I scanned the p0171 lean codes the obdII still had activity on the F02.

How is it my fault is died out anyway.. not like I ever put race fuel in my car and I know it's a wear item but at 16k miles?...

 

Man, I feel for you.... I was in the same boat as yours with all kinds of issues and crap with my '03 EVO VIII. I went on the forum too and tried to get answers or help. It's impossible to get useful help in a forum unless you are a mechanic already and do your own stuff. People will try to help and offer all kinds of suggestions, but it's all for $hit unless you are right there turning wrenches.

I know how it feels to have a car that has nothing but issues, specially after spending thousands of dollars on parts and labor. I understand how helpless one feels about these things. It's hell to have the car all screwed up and no help on the way. Looks like you got into a mess with your tuners/isntallers. It's obvious that something went wrong and nobody is rushing to get it fixed or if they are, they can't do it.

When Boost Solutions (more like boost problems ) screwed up my car royally, they could not or would not take care of it. I was left hanging out to dry and lots of Boost Solutions a$$ kissers jumped on me to boot It's hell when they screw up your car and then blame you for it

I was lucky in the end as the guys at Dyno4mance helped me a tremendous amount, and finally Dustin from Vishnu and Seth, spend a long day taking out all the crap that Boost Solutions put on my car. They made it back to stock as much as possible and with Vishnu XEDE and Xflash, Andrew got the car stabilized and making decnt power. Of course, by this time the car developed more serious problems due to Boost Solutions incompetence. The engine had low compression and blowby. The dipstick would blow out of the tube, etc. I finally got tired of the whole thing, removed all the mods I could from the car and traded it in on a new MR. That might not be a solution for you, so I wish you luck getting some help. It's too late now, but maybe it will help somebody else to understand and to know that once you start modifying your car, you'd better know what you are doing and basically know how to fix it yourself.

 

I am not offened at all bro

I am just feeling really bad that you have like three threads going on the same issue and it would have taken 5 mins to diagose the problem over the phone

My additude - if you have a problem - let the people who you paid $ to take a stab at resolving your problem - then if that does not work out to your satisfaction - by all means post up on the forums

Just my way of looking at things

 

I is am just hoping that others who read this will realize that often driveibility problems can relate to faulty sensors. The cars come with OBDII on board diagnosis so when you have CEL codes you need to follow OBDII diagnostoc proceedures in the service manual - FIRST to veirfy that all sensors are working.

This is diagnosis 101

I am just furstrated to see at least 3 threds from the same guy about all these problems - all the suggestions on how to fix it - and its just a bad o2 sesnor

One PM or voice mail to me and I would have set him in the right direction

Oh well - main thing his car is running
