Yes I got that PM he said only one was stuck open and mine had 5 stuck open...

BTW sent the utec and injectors to STS because they wanted to test them I will let you guys know as soon as I do.

Side question. Exactly how can you tell whether one of your injectors are stuck or not after the kit is already installed and running?

aarantes and goosegoose, I look forward to your reply on my PM.

My kit was installed but car ran extremely rich. Exhaust smelled like raw gas and had white gas vapor coming out of tail pipe, have a video. If you struck a match the car would become a flame thrower. We first thought problem was a defective injector due to wet sparkplug on #2 cylinder. Swapped injector to another cylinder and #2 still flooding out. So problem was the UTEC. Process of elimination.

I'm curious to know how many STS users had problems with poorly programmed or totally defective UTECs. aarantes, I'll bet your problem was a defective UTEC also.

^^interesting, I wonder how they go about programming the UTECs

I once had a problem but mine suddenly became lean in the middle of a cruise that I attended last week. I came at the meet around 11am and I was running fine. I had my Laptop plugged in and was doing some logging the entire cruise but after 3 hrs of driving, I start to hear my Laptop buzz (UTI does give sound when Knock is detected) and my A/F was around high 12's to mid 13's. It doesn't matter what I do with the Temp Correction coz my A/F was the same. I thought my Inj failed on me so I just went back home and unplugged the battery and let it cool down for around 5hrs. Guess what!!! The chit all went back to normal!!! It wasn't even that hot that day coz it was only high 70's.

I don't think it is anything programming coz all they do is load a Base map which even Sharif verified it was right.

ramairZ

I'm not a computer type person but is'nt the base map a computer program? Could be a glitch in the base program causing UTEC problems. I had first UTEC swapped. Second unit went rich within 6 days,100 miles. Second UTEC needed professional programmer/tuner attention to get to operate correctly. I now have about 700 miles on the repaired/tuned/programmed second unit. Keeping my fingers crossed as to NO more computer problems.

If you were fine the first few days then the map was not the culprit but I could be wrong. I'm no a Utec expert but based on looking at the Maps, all i can see is Pulse Width #'s on the Fuel Map and not specific on which injector.

Ramairz I will pm you as soon as I work out everything and get it all figured out.

But I do think its strange that we both had utecs that caused injectors to be stuck open... I thought it was just my unit and that I had a freak accident but this makes me wonder. All I can do is wait for the tests to be done.

I thought you guys sent the Inj. to a third party for testing?

aarantes

iTrader: (31)

Sharif was suppose to do that but he got to busy to deal with me so he said he was just going to uninstall it and I could deal with it. I don't think its the injectors its either utec or the install.

ramairZ

The installer did just that, installed what came with the kit. I would only place blame on installer if they broke a part. Defective parts are not their fault.

aarantes

iTrader: (31)

Yeah Im not jumping to conclusions that is why I wll wait for the test results.

ramairZ

Hope STS is going to be honest with you. Sending parts to them for inspection could be like the "fox guarding the hen house"

Hey ramairZ, what mod do you have and how much power are you pushing?

Are you running of the base map that came with it or this is with a full Tune? What dyno is it?

ramairZ

Those numbers are at 6.75 boost on a 5AT
