I need some help. I recently installed an apexi turbo timer after which my car ran fine... Yesterday I recieved my defi BF gauges with V2 control unit. I installed the boost and EGT and now my car runs horribly! I can smell fuel coming out of the tail pipe along with a flow of white smoke... Does anyone know what could be the culprit of this? For the gauges I tapped 3 wires into the cig. lighter, and then for the power I tapped into a wire out of the ecu. This wire is pin # 80 and has a constant 12V source.
When I installed the TT i had to tap into 2 wires, one for the ground, one for the O2 sensor. Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated!

bump for help

 

Cant help ya with the TT, but I have a stock 06 MR wing with the extra lip and I will even give you the vortex gen for $1000. This wing is in mint condition, no cloudiness or anything.

 

lol wtf is this? he asking for help not for u to adveritse geez

anyway i think u have a very bad exhaust leak, where did u put the EGT sensor?

 

2nd runner on the stock manifold. There is a tiny leak i think, but why would that cause it to spit fuel out the exhaust?

 

If you look closely you can see he is looking to buy a wing in his sig.

 

Because of where/how you tapped the EGT gauge?

 

I can't imagine it's from that.... I did get a check engine light but took off the negative battery terminal and it went away.. Anyway, my car barely runs...

 

If you had your glasses on, you would see him advertising that he is looking for a wing.

 

Enough about the wing.... I don't care about that right now. I want my car running like it was BEFORE the gauge install.....

 

Did you tap the manifold with the car running? If you didn't, I would bet you just destroyed your turbo.

Either that or the gauge install is completely un-related.

The white smoke and running poorly sounds like water in the engine...Check your oil and check your coolant....if there is oil in your coolant, or coolant in your oil....you've got a blown head gasket.

 

there broddey, and beside that s what PM's are for lol

anyways, if u disconnected the battery and the CEL went away it doesnt mean the problem went away, should try to pull that code out and see what it was, u still should be able to read it even tho the light is not on anymore.

 

For one thing, it was already tapped for the EGT so all I did is screw it in... Now that that's out of the way, how would I blow a head gasket by intalling gauges? I have not driven it, it ran fine when I shut it off for the install.. Now that the gauges are in, it runs like hell. There is an extremely strong fuel smell coming from the tail pipe.

 

Do I need a datalogger or something???

 

u could u e that, but also a obd2 code reader, or u can go to pepboys and have them check it for free.
