My Maggie install.........

[Darth_Emma]

After reading those threads it seems that the tune could very well be the issue. I think you are headed in the right direction (toward the tuner!).

But I'd sure like to hear a tuner here say that. lol





I forgot Brandon called me back and left a message the other day. Damn.

A tune with your mods, is not doubt a good thing...

But I still am leaning to something, not plugged (pulled loose) or crossed, I took my gas, anti-freeze, blood-stained, and greasy instructions back out to the car last night and went through it again. More plugs, connections, and wires than I initially remembered on the packs and wiring harnesses, several opportunities to pull something loose (which I did on the AC pressure sending unit). But anyway, you'll be getting a great tune and hey, mine fired up fine and I'm having it tuned next week, so no big deal, just frustrating. Good luck, hopefully the tuner will find your trouble shooting boring and get to making torq and HP for you in a hurry.

I'm hoping he just reads his instruments and tells me it's all tune.

But, ya, I've gone through that book 10 times by now. I gaurantee you I could install one of these things with no book at this point. lol

Oh, I'd look at the book to make sure, but I pretty much have looked at every part over and over again.

The wiring harnesses up and around the coil packs are so tight, I'd hate to think something came loose iside one of them. I'd never find it. Slim chance though. Espec. with all That's going on.

I've had a Traction Control light stay on, I've had all of them on once, I've had the CEL not come on, I've had the trouble codes, and the car running poorly. Gotta be a connection.

I hope I didn't fry my ECU somehow. I had to interupt a transfer once. If it were bad I'd assume it would not transfer now but ya never know.

I know you've become one with this install and I hope it is the tune and/or something we all go, oh yea. Either way sometime this weekend, it'll all be over with. WifeSS said something about seeing Pat Benatar and/or the Doobie Brothers at the HardRock in Biloxi in MAR (and of course make our semi-annual/quarterly donation), last time down (on the Harley) they were having the Cruise the Coast event down there (there were some very nice cars, and I got fleeced by the Hard Rock Casino, but the Isle did me pretty good), y'all live in pretty interesting part of the world, definitely always something to do. Anyway good luck!

Randy,

Here is something that I found on the AC Delco TechConnect website.

http://service.gm.com/gmspo/mode6/pd...iagnostics.pdf

Just do a search in the .pdf document for the P0650 code.. On Page 26.

Hope this helps..

I found this blurb below when I googled - ECM reprogramming interrupted. It was an article pertaining to the Pickups E86 ECM. I'm not sure which ECM the Camaro has, but a reprogramming interruption can mess up the ECM. Depending on when the interruption occured.

TIP: During programming, the download to the ECM should not be interrupted for the first 10% to 15% of the information transfer, or the ECM may not be recoverable for service.

Got the ZR1 map sensor.

i'm starting to think i might just do that for the time being. then save up for headers, cam, etc & then dyno tune it.
i've got an LG intake, but it ain't as big an increase as the fastlane

that's a 3bar sensor, right? are y'all really planning on making more than 30lb of boost to max out a 2bar? what exactly's the advantage of the new one?

(assuming that's how they work...)

I think technically it's a 2.5 bar..

But the reason they use it is to get a better read on the tune. When the tuner is dialing in the tune he can get a true boost reading that is much better for getting the tune just right vice trying to read an anolog boost guage...

That's my understanding anyway...

It was interupted over half way through. I was oblivious to the fuel pump pressurizing during the uplaod and at one point fuel was gushing. lol, I had no choice, it was coming out like a cannon. lol

I called SCT and explained it to them and he told me it was certianly fine. He said if it weren't I'd know it because it would give me an error.

HELL YA............. 30 pounds....... I'll be flying then.........

I"m not sure how it really works, Chris can explain.

oh, so it's basically a digital on-board boost gauge for the ECM?
and the stock one ain't configured to accurately read boost, right?

more like engine parts flying through the hood!

and he did explain... while you were telling me that he would...
y'all must really be married or something - to always be on the same brainwave like y'all are

That is how I understand it yes... I'm sure Doc will explain it to us on Sat.
