Poke a hole in the wiring harness grommet behind the battery and feed it through there. Just make sure to silicone around it or water will likely come down your harness.

Yeap, this solved my cold weather stalling.

but also, how good is the resolutions of the maps, as in for rpm range. to tweak every possible range
Next time you use the words "SS Box" and "Haltech" in the same sentence, we're going to ban you.

It's a great system...your tuner will thank you.

Where are you getting your car tuned? Mitch is a tuner from AEM, or AEM certified?

I don't think any tuner will have trouble with the Haltech. Let him tune yours and he may be motivated to work on improving AEM's software and bring it up to par.

AEMs are junk. Even alot of supra folks dont like them, but use them because there isnt much other option for certain features.

+1. you can add the Viper guys, mercedes guys, etc to that list as well. They're all turning away from it. The AEM's compensation and background programming is poor at best.

A lot of the Supra guys with AEM are switching over to the ProEFI 128pin unit.

They are junk, dont get butt hurt. Id hope it would have more options since it been around for ever, and they still cant get it to be worth a damn. I have 3 friends with AEMs on supras and they are always bitching. They never idle right, the maps always *** up, and their ignition sucks.
