my turbo-link reading

[gsbuick65]

car isnt running smooth, running rich. dont know how to upload the file thou.

Not really sure what you want to do with the file While viewing the spreadsheet data in TL you can left click and copy what you want then paste it in a blank Excel spreadsheet. You will just have to type in the names all the columns.

You could also e mail the TL file, just find it in your TL directory. Anybody else who has TL could open and view it.

No need to see the whole file.

How old are your plugs and wires?

Stock chip/injectors?

 

[Boost231]

please let us know whats wrong with your car. post up with all the info you can think of no matter how small the detail. we can help you get it up and running good.

 

[gsbuick65]

ok heres the readings I have at idle, 850rpm
blm-91
int-123-133
tps. .45 (tried .42 didnt make differance)
lv8 51-56 #
mat-83.3
maf 8
coolant-179

new motor-plugs
wires are alittle old about 8 years but only about 2000 miles, there quad airs wires.
green stripe injectors
chip isnt stock, had it burned when I changed over to 87 ecm. motor same except it has a 214/204 cam now.

So did it run good then start running rich and crappy?

Or is this how it has always run?

Whose chip?

How much base(at idle w/ vac hose off)fuel pressure?

runs pretty good, then the blm drops from 128 to 91 starts missing.
not sure who did the chip it was 10 years ago.
fuel pressure is 42.5 with hose off

i would get an updated chip from turbotweak and see how that works.

 

[gsbuick65]

messed with it alittle tonite, checked timing, its bouncing all over mostly total is about 38 deg. can the timing be adjusted like a dist? I just put the cam sensor in the way it states in gnttype.org. no adjusting.

The timing is all programmed in the chip.
The newer chips (Can you say "Turbo Tweak"?) has the ability to "adjust" (read "program") timing with a scantool.

You may want to contact Turbo Teak for an updated chip.
He is the best chip writer for the HA cars for sure.

Your MAF seems high.
At that RPM, you MAF should read higher but ECM is pulling fuel.
Something is opbviously going on (LV is high as well)

Were the readings in "park" or "drive"?
What are the IAC numbers, hot/park?

May be as simple as "incorrect chip", "leaking injector" (dirty/gounded wire) or bad O2 and/or ground.
Ignition misfire may do this as well.

readings are with car warmed up and in park.

I got the ground strap going from the d/s ex. manifold to firewall.

Dumb question;
Did you verify that the FP drops when the car is running?
Usually, it will drop around the 36-38 PSI range, idle, hose on.
(Vacuum on the FPR port)

yep drops to 36, I readjusted my IAC got it down to 34, block learn went up to 97. mass air flow is 8.

Get IAC's to 10-20
That will drop your MAF reading.
Your maf @ idle should be 6-7
Be carefull becasue as you drop the IAC, your TPS will change.
Drive the car for abour 3-5 miles and your IAC's will adjust to "where they will end up".

Higher MAF reading, BLM's will be high (ECM adding fuel)
I had that backwards as well in my previous post.

Is gettting another "known chip" ($85) an option for you?

 

[gsbuick65]

couldnt get it down no lower. car seems to be running better. will it hurt anything to drive it with these readings? ill get a turbotweak chip as soon as I can get the money.

Are you getting any knock in top gear?

if im getting on it, but not cuising
