OK I bought this thing in July and still can't get it running right, In the driveway at times it might idle well with one chip and not with the other. It will start with one chip and not the other but if I swap in the first chip right away it will idle until it leans out and dies. I thought I had a bad wire C16 witch is the 12 fused to the ECM while it was running earlier today I could move this power wire and it would act up or die now power on moving it around the world no difference in power, I have a real Christine on my hands, On the original chip I have for this Ty, I was told that the Memcal was bad so I found another and it would run but not idle so I swaped in the original and it idled thye both cut out enought in the rpm range they wond hardly run correctly, I really am almost finished with this but I want to fix this Ty and drive it. but if I cant get it running I will just part it out to compensate for my loss of money. If anyone can help please let me know, I bought this Ty from a guy in this SyTy forum hoping it would be a good find and was told it was running great, I need help.

wrong map?

Well that what I think what was wrong when I got it so I put a new map from RPM after I got the new ECM because it threw a code for a bad map, I haven't found it since I took the last one out to a 2 bar that I have I must have trew it across the street? I might try an ostrich and down load and adjust some programs and see if I can fix it that way. I can get it started most time first try but today trying to get it ready for inspection and a drive around the block when you step on it it get so rich it can't burn it off. I really thought I was on to something when the power wire at C16 would mess up a bit with the truck running and then when I go to check it later nothing. I still get a code 12 so I hope my ECM is still good. We'll see.:rant:

Re: Stumped

are either of the chips calibrated for the 3 bar map sensor? you cant run a 3 bar map without a proper calibration.

Re: Stumped

to be honest. it looks like you just slapped on those 75's on a stock ECM, that won't work.
get yourselve some #50's or 65's so you don't need the ECM mod. and it's easier to tune your truck.

I have a PCM for 75s and its wired up for it, I wish I had 50s so I could find tuning easier. I think I have a bad chip, it just dosent act right so I'mgoing to try to adjust the programming.

Re: Stumped

I reset the ecm every time I change out a chip to test, but I talked to a good buddy last night he sad to check the hose from the turbo to the inter cooler and the hose from the inter cooler to the intake, since I told him with the chip it wants to flood when i step into it. So I checked them and my hose from the inter cooler seems pretty rough it could leak. I will replace them after this storm rolls though.:roll:

Re: Stumped

thats definately not your problem. Will have no effect on idling/reving, it just wont make boost.

Re: Stumped

Well with one of the chips it wont idle, but with the other chip it will idle but driving around when you step on it it runs real rich and cuts out.

Re: Stumped

Whats weird is that there are vids posted here of the truck running strong at the track right before you bought it from Kessler

Re: Stumped

your ecm might have died, as erratic as that sounds. maybe buy e-rue's spare ecm and have it modded

Tell me about it I was pissed when he called me with the bad news that it was running bad and he shipped it anyways, but I already swapped out the bad ECM and it is running better than it was when I got it the wob2 wouldn't get off 9.5. I have another ECM on the way, I already sent the previous ECM to Kessler that he supposely gave to Erue to check out i got it back with him telling me it has a bad Memcal, I swaped that and that wasn't it.

Uhm im going to chime in here, I havent been online in well over a mo due to the army and all the Hurricanes, But first off id like to say that i did send E-Rue the Computer and he diagnosed it and told me what was wrong. I just relayed the info. Second the truck ran absolutely great up untill the morning i went to put it on the transport. It was 6amwhen the transport company came to pick it up. I was kinda in a bad place on wether to ship it out like it was or risk loosing Trappers deposit on shipping. I seriously didnt think it was going to be a major deal on fixing. Even after it got to TX and a couple of weeks and still no one could figure it out. And Trapper was having isues trying to connect his computer to the truck, I gave for free a Used laptop with a working DataMaster loaded, that way he could pull codes and data log.

After still no luck and several other parts is when i recieved the ECU. I drove it to Eric and left it there for a little over a week. He did some checking on it and the ecu was only a mo old. He came up with the Memcal being bad. So i was told by trapper that he had already gotten another ecu and i shipped it back to him and paid eru.

Trapper has every right to be mad or pissed off. I would be as well. But i am doing everything i can when i am 1300 miles away. The only thing i can think of is that there has got to be either a short in the Wiring Harness or some that we are over looking.

I am truly sorry and i will continue to help the best that i can.
