ESS kit install issues.

When is has moments of running a bit better , can you rev the engine ??

Was too scared to. I think the one time I was confident enough after idling at 800rpm for about 2-3 mins got up to temp and pissing fuel everywhere the entire time, I revved to 1500, let go and heard a nice whoosh from the blowoff, then it wanted to die out near 500rpm so I shut it off. Probably wanted to die out because the vacuum line/s were open from the IMRC lockouts.

I know i said it a couple times already man and im truly sorry I even have to suggest it but if this was my car id get it back to stock asap and diagnose from thr, if she runs fine you know something is fucked up with the blower set up or tune if it doesn't run good you know you got to take that timing cover back off, im sorry I hope im wrong and you find something easy but it sounds like u have triple checked everything easy, best of luck

I’m reverting it back now, I’m taking the injectors out as I type this. The new plugs are gapped to 0.028 so I’ll have to change them as well

So I think you all will appreciate my ingenuity:

It starts right up and idles well, but a little choppy. Not a single engine light comes on the dash, but I am still getting the cam codes.

Did you try a crank relearn?

 

[Swtbabybilly]

And I love leaving everything in you can while u test good move

I did not but that would have to be tomorrow, the neighborhood is sleeping now haha.

 

[Swtbabybilly]

Crank relearn could solve all your issues again i say could but it would explain alot of the issues your having if thats what It needs and cant hurt to do, best of luck brotha lmk how it goes

Haha nice. So it runs fine but a little choppy no big deal. I'd do what others suggested with the crank relearn. You say no light on the dash so the codes showing up may be the old codes. Try to clear them all and see if they come back. Good to hear some progress. If this thing ended up being fine I'm pointing my finger at the tune file.

I completely agree, I don’t know where on earth I would be without this thread right now. I appreciate each and every one of you!

Should I use FDRS to do the crank relearn or just use the LRX tuner device?
