Well its finally in! Its been a b!tch of a week with this heat wave trying to work on it each night. Lastnight G (Zincognito) and I finished up the Vortech. Still need to install the NGK plugs. I have to let it crank for about 2 sec before it catches, I think that my stock plugs arent up to the task, Im putting in the NGK tomorrow. Is that why it takes a couple secs? When we started it for the first time the SES light was on and the TCS Off/SLIP lights stayed on as well. I took it around the block and brought it up to about 3K rpm and it didnt seem like it was in "limp mode" I borrowed my buddies Actron CP9135 OBDII reader and I had P0345 or PO345, which is Cam Position Sensor A-Bank 2 circuit malfunction, but it had 4 codes and they all were the same!! What does that mean? Is it safe to drive home? It drove around fine. Ive been searching around and it seems this is a weak point. Ill have to look up a shielded sensor wire. I cleared the codes and all the lights went out, back to normal. Ill be getting it tuned this weekend, and Ill post up the details. I said Id take hella pics but I was so spent this week I only took 3

 

Stupid question , but did you hook up the battery at any point while doing the wiring of the ss box or what ever EMU you are using ? Have you tried to boost it yet ? Have the CEL's come back ?

 

Nope, didnt connect it at all the whole week until all the wiring was done. Havent tried to boost it yet, just took it up to see if it would limp, I started it up and let it run for a while after I cleared them and then restarted and they were gone.

 

plug the TB in?

 

I didnt unplug it. I will see tonight if it comes back after another drive around the block.

 

"Cam position sensors malfunction"

Possibly mixed up the Cam wires when connecting them to the ECU harness?

 

Thats what I thought it might be but I checked and double checked the wiring diagrams. I will check again and again just to be sure. Ill see if it comes back, maybe it was just one of those little tweaks that come up. If I crossed the wires wrong it would run like absolute crap though wouldnt it?

 

It's really easy to make a mistake on the wiring of the harness--not just miswiring, but a bad solder joint. This is the most likely location of your problem. Don't bother with shielded cables--unnecessary.

 

Ok, now I was finishing up lastnight and had something wierd happen. I took off the battery - to do the spark plugs and the code came back. Next I cleared code, car wouldnt start. Disconnected - battery for a min or two and car started with no code!! Wtf? I will dig down into those wires again today. Now that you mention a bad solder joint, that would make for inconsistencies like this. Thanks for that suggestion!

 

did you use the autosport harness?

 

Yes, Im going to take it to my tuner and have him check the solder joints in a couple hours.

 

I also used the Autosport harness and initially read the diagram for the main harness "backwards". It's easy to make this error. I had to check and recheck my work 2 or 3 times and rewired several connections.
