16203, Help Me my Car is acting up... Posted by DarKReaLity, Feb-22-02 06:49 AM
well i posted last time that i'm having oproblems with my AFC, but now i don't think it's that, i think it's something else. well when i accelerate, my car vibrates and when it gets to 4000rpm, my power cuts out and comes back. i need to know if it's electrical related problem or transmission. 'cause this started happening ever since i got my car back from the mechanic when he fixed my transmission. like that if it was, then he's going to hear it from me big time! help me guys!

MAP sensor. Check your AFC wiring, and watch the sensor check screen of your AFC.

ok how do read the MAP sensor...i see the voltages...but when is it bad?

Are there any voltages? Do they change when you drive the car?
The MAP sensor is supposed to vary between ~1v at idle to about 4.7V at WOT. if it's not doing that, you've got it wired wrong, or something is loose.

hey man i think you're right...it is the MAP sensor...it's reading over 4.9 to 5.0v while boosting. so what do i do change it or get a better one. i hear of some that can handle boost.

You need a fuel cut defenser.. Buy a VC1 from someone who's upgraded to a VC2.

Or you can get one from hrc for $50. And it is realy easy to install. You just splice it into 2 wires. It has worked great for me.

the hrc fuel cut is like $80+ last time i asked... might as well get the vc-2 for like $83 bucks ... when your car goes into boost its getting to much fuel and the map freaks out... so when you try to go into boost you are like hmm where did the power go ( like its going to die ) and then BAME here we go... i should know since i had to remove my hrc fuel mapper for a day till i got my vc-2... Michael 99gs- hrc stage 2 with vc-2 etc

Dino.. I thought you said 95-96 doesn't need the vc1. I still run check valves and never had problems with stuttering or fuel cut.
|
16213, RE: Help Me my Car is acting up... Posted by randy, Feb-22-02 02:37 PM
I have a 96 and i don't have any problem with fuel cut. I'll sell you my vc1 for $30.

16214, RE: Help Me my Car is acting up... Posted by DarkOne, Feb-22-02 02:44 PM
No Rick.. the 95's don't have any problem with fuel cut. 96 and above DO... always have.. always will unless they swap in a 95 ECU, which may or may not work.

and also has this problem been asked numerous times?this should be saved for newbies when after installing a turbokit since this is a frequent problem to us 96-99 owners.
