solder? is that some special stuff or something?

its just where the connector is on the back im not sure i always have to play with it to get it to work at all.

anyways i got the afrs in the low 11s for now and i have been adding some timing and it has cleared it up pretty well!

ill still try to post some logs as soon as i can get my wideband logging correctly

 

go to radioshack and buy a soldering gun and some soldering wire. It's pretty much welding. It will allow the connections to have a continous connection.

 

Just don't fray anything up by holding the iron on the wires too long. If you are just spinning the wires together, that may be why it doesn't work consistently

 

no it looked like u listed some special solder or whatever. i solderded all the wires already lol.

like i said its at the connection at the back of the guage where the power/grnd/signal cables plug in

 

It sounds like you might ought to try for a refund/replace then. The AEM gauge? or the gloshift one?

If it doesn't plug in right, then it's not something you can fix.

 

take a picture of how you set it up, mine works just fine, I have to buy a new cable to log because my computer kept restarting and I lost the cd to install my db9 plug

 

omg i know its set up right i have the black wire grounded and at #5 and the blue wire at the serial output wire and at pin #2.

its just the plug at the back of the guage it sucks and I bout it used so theres no warranty and it is the AEM.

just search the web for drivers thats how i got mine to work. stupid $40 serial to usb adapter didnt even come with 64 bit drivers!

 

dude I bought mine off ebay for $3.00.... -___-

 

ok well uh... just pretend i paid $37 for instant shipping

anywho how accurate do you guys thing VDR is?

 

holy cow im getting really fustrated with tuning my afrs are pretty good maybe a little rich..

but i keep having knock issues always no matter what!!! at 110 load and 3k

it doesnt matter if i advance or retard the timing. it never changes it will be 1-6 counts

 

are you able to log your afrs yet?

send me your rom with a recent log and I will look at it for you

no im still trying to get that to work! but the #s range from 10.8-11.3

im gonna send you a rom and some logs tonight after i do a few good pulls in about an hour or so

 

at least you're able to it boost. I can't even do that.

 

Well I really think its your actuator! It looks way longer and different then mine and the pics on speed corps and the forge website

 

Afrs that rich could cause knock. Do like me, and have a tuning laptop with a serial port on it......that's right, i'm here visiting from the year 1998!

Maybe something is banging around in there at 3k rpm, making it register knock. Exhaust leak?
