I've been tuned by Sean Ivey and he is an awesome tuner. I just feel more welcomed at TurboTrix, they have really friendly staff, no one with attitudes, reminds me of AMS. When I go to Sean Ivey, he treats me really well but his staff always act like they're pissed off and that they're going out of their way to do something for you, so that atmosphere is not too inviting...

 

Glad you got the problem fixed

 

sent the AEM out...waiting on AEM to send me back a working one

 

Mine sounded like that and it turned out to be a rod bearing that slipped and ended up on top of the upper one. Good luck.

 

ohh...thanks. comments like that make me feel real good about my chances...LOL

 

make sure you check obvious things, too but i would check your plugs and valves though

 

ok...I paid 80 bucks to ship it there overnight, they checked it and I got this email...

"Fully tested unit, passed all tests. No faults found with unit.

Your package is currently being routed to our shipping department and will ship in 24 hours.

Thank you for your patience,
AEM Support Team "

greaatt, wasted money =\...at least now I know the AEM is good, but i dunno wtf else is wrong

 

man I am sorry to hear... hope you find the problem soon

 

Definitly pull every plug out and check it. My car sounded like a suby and I found out it decided to blow the plug out of the head and shred one of my coils. Not fun.

 

Maybe your injector is faulty and not the ecu

 

i had the same problem, CRACKED spark plug. easy fix.

 

Wow I have the same problem, I'm also running a gt35r with AEM EMS. Here's the scoop:

I've had 3 different tuners tune my car thus far and it's definitely better but I still run into problems sometimes when I'm at WOT or when it starts to rain (weird i know!). Anyways... The first time around the coil dwell settings were set up wrong and I would always have the problem of my car have the EXACT SAME ISSUE. I fried two coil packs, and was getting fed up. Had another tuner fix the issue (coil dwell) and haven't really had an issue randomly like I was getting. Then I noticed a few times my coolant temps. would skyrocket when it would be raining outside. I have yet to figure out why this happens, maybe water leaking through the intake??? I have no idea....

Definitely check the coil dwell settings. That should help a ton.

I've gotten C.O.P. but haven't installed it yet because I don't know if my AEM is bad or if it's something mechanical that is wrong. But the aem box has a seal on it and if it's torn to take apart the system your warranty is voided.

I've heard of AEM systems going bad and Mitch Mckee, my local tuner who is the tuner for vividracing, also said that it truly sounds like I have a bad AEM. After hearing your problem man, I'm really curious to see what's wrong. I have the same exact problem and to be quite honest I'm getting sick and tired of the evo running like total

If you find out what the issue is being caused by, let us all know. I will be sure to do the same. Issues being the coolant temp, and subaru sound (most likely coil dwell). Hope this helped a bit!

 

That might have been your experiance, i heard opposite, they built one of my friends motor and tranny and it turned out to be a nightmare, they gave his block to someone elce and built their block for him, same thing with tranny... Big mixup, honestly dosnt sound like a buisness i would like to commit money and obviously a motor to. who knows what devilish things they are up to... lol j/p but seriously...

i also have friends with nothing but good stories, i guess its an individule basis.

 

Check it when you get it back. I bet it works when you plug it back in.

tried it, still sounds like sh*t =\

Any ideas?
