There is a diesel injector shop in town. I don't know if they can do gas injectors. Guess I'll have to find out

Injectors are D3181AA's=42.5 GTG
 So its someones good idea to get a chip burned from TurboTweak.(my pension check came in...LOL)  Gonna presume the injectors are ok and go from there. Just to keep it simple. I'm at the point in my life now I like it simple. Hopefully after it's in, the car will start and idle without issues and I'll be able to get on to finishing the rest of the car and drive it before I die. :icon_fU:
But I'm sure I'll be back here to bother you guys about something...

Order a street chip from Eric. Give him the part number you see on the side of the injector. Tell him the max boost is 18 PSI...there will enuf high gear fuel in it to not blow it up.

This is a hybrid. Is your ECM getting a MPH signal? If it isn't...you can only adjust WOT fuel. I've dealt with that situation already. Buddy of mine has a hybrid. There's some fukn plug-n-play gadget he installed for the ECM to get the MPH signal. I'll get back when I find out.

Its call a VSS Converter module and yes I have one.
 Chip is on order.
Is it worth it to try to get these injectors tested?

So when do we start the 009 injector discussion? Or isn’t that an issue anymore.


There's a discussion on 009s?

I never said the 009 chip was an extender chip. I do have one but it was for when I had pipe dreams of racing the car. I thought I was told that if the Translator was set at all "0" a non extender chip would work.
 I have to look threw my "files" (yeah sure...) I have them somewhere. I'm sure I got the Translator from Full Throttle. I doubt they have records back that far.

No codes and no DS.
Plugs!? All I had on hand were 42s. Didn't think it would make a difference for just a start up.
 MAF#25168491 Do they go bad just sitting?
Oh..SM did throw a code the 1st time I tried starting the engine. 45- Ox sensor rich. I cleared it and it never came back.

Time to hook up a scanner and see what the pcm is doing. It could be one of many things.

PCM?

The temp never got much above 100. I was trying to set IAC. Start and stopping the engine.The first time I had it running I did have the temp up to 150. Was running crappy is why I checked/changed the plugs the 1st time. They looked the same. But with that run, I started seeing plums of smoke (suddenly) I had that happen once before on my T-type and it turned out to be an injector. This time I had a bad vac leak at the IAC and the PCV was stuck closed so I thought it had something to do with that. All so had the original chip in and the Translator not set right. This time with that all fixed I had no smoke. Still fouled the plugs.

So after years of putting it off, I'm struggling to get this motor to run right. At least while its still on blocks in the back of the garage. I'm trying to get it to start and idle. Will only start with the throttle partly open. Struggles to start without the throttle open some. (25-40%?) Then its a struggle to keep it running. Anything below 1000 rpms and it stalls. Forget trying to get it to 500 as the IAC setting direction say. Resetting the IAC hasn't seemed to do anything but run down my battery from starting it multiple times. Does the motor really need to be warm for this to work? Also I don't have a check valve in the fuel system yet. I don't see how its really needed for this.

Chip I'm using is a street 009 I got with the injectors. (too many years ago) so I don't know the specs. Translator set at all "0" Fuel @ 42.
UPDATE! Just went out to look at the plugs again. Changed them out yesterday.
This plug is no more then 20 minutes old. They all look like this. Which is why the long I ran the engine the harder it was to keep running I guess. Is it possible that all the injectors are bad? Its not blowing smoke. Something else?

I'm looking at the mods for your C1 in your sig. Shoot us the mods for your T when you get a chance.

Not too much really..Mostly a Dynotech chip & tune-Stage 1 trans-ATR dual exhaust- K&N air cleaner and pipe. That's about it. She ran pretty well I guess with what I did . 12.8 -107 If I remember right. She's retired now. And breaking my heart because the bumper fillers are shattering like an egg just sitting there. Not gonna put anything into her till after the vette is out and running. I'm retired now too and money gets tight around this time of the month.. :icon_cry: So I have to plan my purchases well in advance. Next on my list is a power logger. As long as nothing breaks around the house.  :icon_neutral:

Here's the instructions for Bobs Extender chip. Be sure to have the fuel pressure and dip switches and base knob set correctly. Appears the Calpak chip needs to be pulled to make adjustments to the chip.

I gotta check some things today...

What color was the cloud?    If it was black, that's fuel.


That's much better than white or blue.

It was white.But burned my eyes and fouled all the plugs. Pulled the pipe off the turbo and its dry. Black soot on all the plugs and they were all dry. Soot also in the exhaust. Gunna double check some stuff tomorrow. I'll start a new thread when I know more.
