Meth kit issue? Help? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Dobbins · 05-26-2012, 06:23 PM

So I got the meth kit installed this last Thursday but it is not getting tuned until this Thursday. Pretty much it's really annoying driving it because it just makes the fuel too rich and my car is weak when it hits boost. They did just a little drivability tune with the air fuel ratio but didn't put it on the dyno. Is there any way I can temporarily unplug it or something to try to have fun with my car at all for this week. I was told I could just pull the plug and it would be back to normal but I wanna hear from someone legit. So any solution for me??

Does it have a controller? If so just turn it to 0 and it shouldn't spray any meth. I have a cooling mist kit on my 335D BMW and that's what I do. Otheriwse, just pull the fuse. Assuming there is an inline fuse. What type of kit do you have?

Just like Supercharged SS said turn your controller down to 0. What I do to mine is pull the fuse for the pump. Which should be in the back by the battery if your bottle is back there also. And if you do pull the fuse make sure the wire that is connected to the battery is taped up so you won't ground it out and blow fuses everywhere lol.

It is an aem kit. And ya there is a control box by my pedals. They didn't go in depth about it when they gave it to me and this is my first time with this. What fuse would I pull?
I just checked and on the control box it has no dial or anything just numbers that correspond with errors.

I'm sorry, so there is one plug that connects to the engine, I'm just confused because it just seems like whatever plug I pull methyl will just be spraying everywhere. And there is no control on my control box. Sorry to be difficult but I don't get which fuse. There is one that connects to the engine, but my actual tub is on the right side opposite of the battery. I see a plug there that kinda looks like a drain plug. Is that what I should pull and tape up? But like I said it just looks like fluid will drain everywhere.

When I get to my car I will post pictures of my fuse plug and my controller. If you have the AEM we have the same one and if you look at your controller real well. There is a test button in a small hole and 2 small knobs that you will need a very small screw driver for. Those knobs need to be turned to 0. If you can't find your fuse that's your only option.

Ok that would be awesome if youd send a pic. I see some but I don't know which. And ya If I still can't see it in the pic I can do the control box thing

Can't_C_Me · 05-26-2012, 08:30 PM

THIS IS THE CONTROLLER AND WHAT THE KNOBS LOOK LIKE. JUST TURN EVERYTHING DOWN TO ZERO.

THIS IS THE FUSE FOR THE PUMP AND HOW THE HOUSING AND FUSE LOOK LIKE. JUST PULL THE FUSE OUT.

Unplug it. Problem solved.

Dobbins · 05-27-2012, 10:12 AM

Ya I literally just cannot find it, I see the wire but I cant find it its tucked way back in there. Before I do this though, is it bad that he changed my airfuel ratios?

Can't_C_Me · 05-27-2012, 11:03 AM

If its running on a drivability tune shouldn't matter. As it isn't tuned to the meth kit yet. But just test it out, go into boost with the kit and record your AFR's. Then lower the controller (which is turning it off) and hit boost if it starts to go past 12.5-13 AFR. And not going back down to 10.5-11.5/12) Then let off as its tuned to the kit.
