Who can burn me a chip with a base tune?

[whitesqual]

When I put my chip in it was doing the same thing. Had to hold it to the floor to get it to start and ran like crap! Wouldn't idle either. It turned out to that the chip wasn't getting a good connection. I took the chip out and cleaned the connections on the computer several times before it finally ran right. I thought my tune was off and called Willey and he told me to try cleaning it again and that it was most likely the culprit. I told him that I had already pulled it out and cleaned it several times. But he was pretty certain that this was the problem. He was right! Anyway clean the connections again, may fix your problem!

I did try that first actually, cause it said how to do it properly in the SCT installation instructions. I know that isnt the problem now, because the old chip works just fine. I found someone to trade me injectors, so Im sending the chip back to Rick for him to tune the car for 24# injectors with a correctly calibrated MAF. Hopefully in a couple weeks the car will be running properly, as my parts will match a lot better.

I did a head and intake change and kept the stock cam and 19lb injectors. The heads were patroit performance and the intake was a GT40 tube intake w/65mm throttle body, cold air intake, shorty headers, BBK X chamber pipe w/cats flowmaster 3 chamber exhaust system and ran a adjustable fuel pressure regulator. This set ran fine with the factory tune and had no issue with the idle. Why are you using such a large injector when you are still using the stock cam. I would go back to the 24lb system with out the after market tune and see how it will run. I see that you plan on running boost later on but until you do those 42lb injectors are to big for the combo you are running now.

This is just a thought any Ford 460 truck engine and the 24 valve V6 engine in the Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable came with 24lb injector I picked up a set at my local junkyard for $7.50 ea ( $60.00 for the set) I cleaned them up and tested them with a 9volt battery and had a summit 24lb MAF sensor and ran this on my engine combo until I built my 331 stroker and it ran just fine on the factory tune.

I stated two posts up that I am trading my 42# injectors for 24's. I cant run a stock tune because I deleted the smog and EGR and that causes the car to throw codes. I guess its all internet myth that larger injectors can be tuned down for temporary use on a N/A combo.

I traded for some 24's and installed them yesterday along with my 80 mm MAF that is calibrated for 24's. The car runs pretty good with nearly stock tuned chip, but my new chip is supposed to be on its way back to me from Rick with the correct tune on it. I cant tell if I have a horrible header tick, or if I have a roller rocker ticking on the drivers side. I bought some remflex header gaskets, as I had them on my stock heads and they are the best out there. If that doesnt make the tick go away, then I'll have to pull the valve cover and make sure I dont have a misaligned rocker or something. First gear is a joke now, but in second gear the car seems to have lost a decent amount of torque below 3K rpm's. Once the tick is figured out and I have the new chip in, I plan to open it up a bit and see how the upper rpm's feel. I'll keep you guys posted. One of these days the dang thing is gonna be right again.

 

[95BlueStallion]

Well, the new gaskets took care of the tick for the most part. I have a little bit of rocker noise, but I dont think its anything to worry about. Once I installed the new chip again, the car runs like poo... It bucks all across the RPM range and wont idle with the spout connector in. I cleaned the connection area again just to be safe, but that isnt doing anything. I think I may just ask for my money back for this chip and put it toward a dyno tune. My old chip works decent, so I guess I could just run it until next summer when I go with boost. I just really want the car to run at its best with this combo.

i just had a customer come in a few weeks ago that removed his supercharger setup.. we had tuned it to 535rwhp with the blower before and he wants a turbo now.. he ended up selling the supercharger and is saving for the turbo so i tuned it NA... it has 60lbs injectors and a ba2400 maf... he called me this week to say the car is running great and got 22mpg... its not an internet rumor, its about who does it

Hey man, I had no idea who you were, sorry about that. Here's my story now. The chip I bought from another tuner just isnt working out. He suggested I try running the car without a chip to see how it acted. I knew my CEL would come on since I have no smog pump nor EGR, and it did. After about 5 minutes cruising down the highway easy, it just hit and felt smooth. I down shifted to fourth and gave it some throttle and it took off. Before it would detonate really bad. So for now it is running really well other than the CEL. I pulled codes and the only ones are EGR and smog related, so I guess Im good to go. If the tuner will refund the cost of the chip, then most likely I will set up an appt with you Bob to dyno tune it and see what kind of power Im making. I really dont like leaving the CEL on either, so I want a tune for that reason also. I will keep you posted, and thanks for checking in.

You didnt wont to try and tune it yourself with a Quarterhorse, about $250 but you need a wideband but you need that anyways.And another $130 for software and need laptop, but its neat getting to ride around with a laptop in your seat.

Tweecer R/T FTW even though I have never used mine lol

Sorry to hear that things went bad with amazon man i only hear good things from people who have used them.

Nothing has gone bad, Rick has been very nice. Weve just tried two tunes, and neither even let the car idle... He said there is no refund on electrical parts, which is pretty standard. After telling him that the car runs great off the computer, he said he knows more about the MAF curve now and should be able to get it right this time. I hope so, cause by the time I send this thing half way across the country over and over, and add the original cost, I might as well have just gone to the dyno right away...

 

[95BlueStallion]

Hey everyone, just wanted to throw out an update. I got a call from Rick last thursday and he stated that he thought my original chip had gone bad somehow. He said he couldnt get it to hold a tune anymore, or something along those lines. He asked for my combo again and said he was going to start from scratch on a new chip. I have to admit I was a little sceptical, but had nothing to lose. I got the chip yesterday and plugged her in. After a slight turn of the dizzy and 10 minutes on the highway, the car runs great. The idle is perfect, no hanging anymore while I roll to a stop. The spout is in, and all is well. I wish something could have stood out a while ago to signal the original chip was bad, but all and all Rick at Amazon Tuning Solutions took care of me and I want to make that clear.

GLAD IT WORKED OUT!!!!!

 

[95BlueStallion]

Damn right Adam. He said that static can easily ruin a chip. I cant help but wonder if his tune with my 42 lb injectors was closer than I gave him credit for, but the chip was maybe ruined in the mail or something. Well never know, but sucks that I dropped down to the 24's and will have to trade them out again later. The good news is that the car is finally running at full potential after my head swap. Ive already burned off half the tread on my 315's. Cant resist when its that easy.

Im so happy for you man. It sucks when your down to the tune and having problems.

Im at that point right now... My quarterhorse is out dated and needs to be sent in for an update. So its not acting right with my tuning software!

Craig moates was awesome and hes gonna take care of the update for me!

Glad to see it all worked out for you, those ships are pretty fragile. Always make sure you ground yourself before touching it, and when shipping or storing I out them in anti-static bags.

Usually when a chip wont accept a tune it is trash....
