i dont know if this has any thing to do with my problem but i recently cleaned my intake out really well and got a bunch of grim and dirt out of it, but now when i get on the highway and start exiting off an on ramp i put it in nutral and coast and somtimes my car will just shut off, i dont know if cleaning the filter has anything to do with it. all i do is start it right back up and it runs fine, i have the ur pully installed on this would that be the cause? somtimes my battery light comes on durning heavy acceleration, maybe a slipping belt? any input would be greatly appriciated

thanks,
andrew

 

Are you getting a check engine light? Knowing the code would be helpful.

 

Re check your work..... Maybe you reset the ecu and its relearning..... Keep giving it gas during N or coasting.. Dont let it coast for a week or so....

 

You might know the answer to this. How lond does it take the ECU to "learn" the motor again after you reset the ECU. Reason I ask is I just put on a Gen2 Stillen CAI yesterday and disconnected the battery while doing the work..

 

I just told you..... Give it a week or so.. The key is to never let it coast.. You may need to give it some slight throttle/gas during coasting and idling...... It will relearn eventually.... I have done this about 30 times.....

 

alright well ill do that durning coasting, but what about the heavy acceleration? all i did was clean out my filter so i dont know how i woulda reset the ecu(sorry for saying intake just what im use to) i do have the aam ecu reflash, not sure if that would make a difference.

 

Accel it prob wont make a difference.... Only coasting/idle the car may shut off... Reflash doesnt mean ****.... You should get a Uprev Osiris tune.. After a few more mods..

 

i do have quite a bit of mods, almost everything but a fi kit, only problem with getting my car tuned is finding a place to do it, im in bfe kansas lol and i have no clue were any performance shops are around here, only one i know is 5th gear and no body around this area trusts his work cause he has messed so many peoples cars up.. how much would you say the ecu plus tune would cost?

 

$800 or so.... Drive to Forged Performance in GA...... http://www.mapquest.com/maps?1c=Tope...Marietta&2s=GA

or Injected Performance http://www.mapquest.com/maps?1c=Tope...:::::f:EN:M:/e

 

do you think that will help fix my problem also? there might be a couple of shops in kc, i know my buddies with there 11 second turbo civics go there to get them tuned dont know if that would be the same software or what all it takes to get a tune. ima newbie at all the electrical and tuning stuff, gonna go fi soon so i gotta start learning..

 

Yes, thats why I recommended it...

Civics dont use that software...

 

alright, well thanks i appriciate it and i will get right on ordering my ecu and hopfully finding a shop that is closer lol

 

Its not ordering a ecu... Go to www.uprev.com to learn more...

so instead of driving to tx or ga i could get the tuner kit and then have them etune it via email? or would you recommend going to a shop to have it done? ( please dont think of me as a retard, just exploring all of my options)

 

Yes, exactly.. You could do that via email.. Do some logging for them and email it back for a better tune if needed... Call Uprev for your best options...

 

alright, will do, thanks i appriciate it alot and it gives me another excuse to throw more money at it

 

The other reflash u have is trash..

 

it came with the car when i bought it lol

 

so can i use the ecu i have to do the tune on it?

 

Exactly, all you do is plug in the reflash cable/laptop to your car.. Then send the new tune to it.......

I had a Cipher cable/Osiris but got TT Haltech tuned
