smokes black,no tuning helps

Post by 89gtar »

hi! iam running ms2 ver3.0 and 2.35 code. new build, all sensors seem ok rpm,02,iat,clt,tps,and map on a tuned port 355 cubic inch transam 89'. it starts right up and idles but when i touch the gas it wants to die. it smokes black constantly(rich) and no matter what table i change it doesn't help. i set the timing it got better idling but same problem. o2 reads .9+ volts constantly one the o2 sensor heats up. i can still plug in factory ecu and runs perfect so i know all components are ok. is there a way to adj inj. pulse width independantly? any help on the situation would be great thanks, doug

Sounds like MAP sensor, I had one install where I pinched the MAP sensor hose in the firewall groumet. Acts just like you say.

Check your Map sensor values at idle.

PROBLEM SOLVED, I DISCOVERED THAT THE VACUUM HOSE CONNECTION POINT WAS NOT APPROPRIATE AND INSTALLED ON REAR OF TPI PLENUM. WORKS GREAT NOW JUST HAVE TO FINISH TUNING!
