Default my set-up

i know you guys are probally sick of seeing me start threads, but here is another.



sleeper intercooler?



details in sig. also open downpipe, and AEM wideband. i will summerize my problems again to see if anyone has any input. had the 310s in, ran ok, just crazy rich. 12.5-13 cruise. as soon as you lean into the throttle, peged out 10:1. put the stock injectors bad in, barley runs. doesnt want to idle unless the afm screw is all the way in, then stalls alot. anything more than 1/4 throttle and it starts missing and sputtering. but i think i found atleast one reason it sucking. the ECU plugs have a couple of coroded wires, and atleast 1 wire is broke, a blue wire IIRC. i will splice in some new plugs and see if it helps. and if not, try a new AFM and injectors. i opened the ecu, everything looked good inside.

500th POST
bondo that crack in the bumper its already primered :gay:
and are you using a saab intercooler?
(nvm, saw it was a probe)
should you still wrap the lines around the turbo? because nothing is protecting the lines behind it
whoa and that isn't a piece of pvc on the hotside pipes is it?

fixed the IAC hose, idles better now. and spliced in a new ECU plug to replace the fuged up one. it helped a ton, still studders some. going to put in a rx7 AFM this weekend. i go 6 clicks counter clockwise on the clock spring for stock injectors, right? how many clicks which way for 310s? just want to be sure.

i think my car hates me. put in the rx7 afm, and tried another set up stock injectors. the AFRs are all over the place, it will just randomly go full rich, bog, studder, and so on. i will try the 310s again with only 3 clicks on the afm and see if it helps. could my ECU be ******* up?

ok, i have now decided that my car does in fact hate me. 310cc injectors, rx7 afm set at 3 clicks looser. and the car is still running like crap. pig rich at idle, started the car with the afm cover off, at idle its almost halfway open. i dont know what the deal is. i am thinking about just selling the FMU and AFM and going megasquirt. there is no reason the car should be running as bad as it is
