New 3.5" maf w/ translator and runs worse???please HELP!

[tscruggs]

Just installed new 3.5" maf with translator from full throttle speed....car has turbo tweak chip....will barely idle much less run...too rich..way too rich...scanmaster shows all good except very first numbers o2 are running 500-700 at idle???? Help!!!

Are you sure the dip switches in the translator are set correct??

 

[tscruggs]

All settings prove junk...some more than others....bad stumble on uptake...what settings do you recommend?

 

[3.8L V-8 eater]

I believe for a TT chip it is on on on off....And the base should be set to 0

 

[tscruggs]

That is what the settings are right now....blows gas out exhaust, stumbles, and will not wot

Is the flow arrow going the right direction on the maf
Is it plugged in
are all the hoses tight and sealed off
were you doing anything else to the car before you put on the maf / translator

I might be wrong, but if your existing MAF was factory original then the TT chip has to be reprogram to use 3.5" maf with translator?

 

[tscruggs]

Flow arrow is correct, everything plugged up, was rough idle...added field fix wiring kit and maf upgrade....nothing else

Thank you, so frustrated...

 

[tscruggs]

Ok. I was wondering...it will check with Eric at turbo tweak then, Thank you

According to turbo tweak owners manual...it will work with this maf translator package when set at on on on off and both others at 0

Exactly! Try this . . .
Key on, engine off, press gas pedal and watch MAF reading. If it raises, there is a connection issue and ecm is not seeing MAF. Report back.

Should be a code on the scanmaster if this is the case

No code tripped on scanmaster

At idle what is your maf reading?

 

[tscruggs]

700-800

 

[3.8L V-8 eater]

Do you mean 07 to 08 or are you talking rpm??

 

[tscruggs]

No. Maf.. 05-06. O2 readings 700-800
