A couple days ago my typhoon was giving 2 codes. One of the codes was 33(map) and the other 45(rich exhaust). The idle was rough and down at around 500rpm and you could smell the gas in the exhaust. I hardly had breaks too, the pedal was very stiff. Today i changed the map and put in a 3 bar to save money in the longrun because i have a ultimate chip for stock injectors waiting to go in. This corrected the idle and its not throwing any codes now but it still doesn't run like it should. It hesitates when i first hit the gas and when i go to accelerate from a roll. Does anyone have any ideas on what is causing this? Maybe i fouled a plug since it was running rich?

Re: Engine trouble
Yea Mike,
Stock chip will not run right with 3 bar map. I got 5 2 bars @ my house if you want one.
That is your issue but also check your vac lines, if your pedal went hard sounds like you lost vac and that will cause all that shit too because the map doesn't understand other than no vac.
Give me a shout if you have any questions

Re: Engine trouble
Thanks guys. I thought since the 3 bar map will read over the 14.7 boost it would be okay to run with a 2 bar chip with a max of 14.7.

I have the ultimate chip sitting on the back seat so i will install that tomorrow if i get a chance. Hopefully i didn't mess anything else up by running it like this tho.ViciousV6 said:

And Ralph. I tried to PM you last night but your inbox is full. I just wanted to see how everything is going with your truck
It was running fine before the check engine light came on. I guess the map went bad and caused it to run like crap. the idle is where it should be and its not running rich anymorecloned 1 said:
