whats going on with this thing, psia is in the high 30's not running, and 25 at idle, anyone have a similiar issue? suggestions? reflash .zex or reinstall the program possibly?

 

Vac source is your issue. Sounds like it's reading positive manifold pressure at idle. That is either one SMALL turbo or something is wrong with the way it's hooked up.

The FIC reads absolute pressure FYI. 14.5 PSI is 0 vacuum. Reading at 25 means it's reading 11 PSI of positive manifold pressure.

 

its actually a big turbo so no, thats not the problem, im thinking the sensor is bad, this is something new.

isnt their a reset on the fic? maybe by some miricle it just a software issue

yeah funny how it thinks its at 11lbs of boost at idle

 

Is it -25 or +25

If its possitive you have some major issues!

 

btw theres a reset on back side!

 

Try flashing the firmware? sometimes that fixes glitches like that - i believe the instructions are on the aempower forum

 

How to:

The files needed for the flash are located in the directory where you installed the FIC software

 

yes 25 psi absolute, according to the aem map sensor



thanks for the reset info ill try it out

 

sounds like the on-board map sensor is effed....sounds intresting...iv never come across this problem. like to hear more details

btw the button in the back of the fic isn't exactly a "reset" button...if you were to just press it and nothing els it does nothing unless you get the button stuck then the fic is just a paperweight...(yes iv seen it happen and had to fix it...lol)

 

i just got off the phone with aem, from what the guy said it sounds like a hardware issue, i tried reinstalling the program and reflashing with the same results, he also said this map sensor is used with all their boost related products, and they dont fail very much.

what really sucks in this matter is im pretty sure my 1 year warrenty was up about 2 weeks ago, if it is i gotta pay 75 bucks for the service on the fic.

 

their isnt too much more details, i had to bump my maps up, from 0 to 22psia for the idle. so the car runs ok now but i dont want to be driving around like this for long

 

I would like to get my hands on it to trouble shoot it....sounds very intresting to me for some reason.
