yesterday i spent some time running wires for my gauges, as i realized that there simply isn't a lot of room on the a-pillar to have multiple wire leads, i spent time re-running wires for multiple connections.

today i installed my wideband 02 sensor and in the process lost (misplaced) the terminator plug. therefore my (stock motronic) ecu is receiving a wideband signal as opposed to the necessary narrowband signal.

having installed the wideband i went for a drive and the gauge read rich 7.4 and flashing (super rich-like error rich i'd guess it was actually 3.5-4.5 afr) it was so rich in fact that when i burped the throttle 1/4 it actually poured a stream 4 feet behind the car of fuel.

after letting it run for about 15 minutes i went for a drive and it actually seamed to be ok-ish it read about 10.8-14.7 unless i went over 4500 at which point it'd go back to 7.4

tomorrow i'm going to radioshack and buying a terminator plug and will recalibrate the unit and attempt some datalogging just to see how she's doing.


i'm waiting on a few missing things from DIYautotune.com so i can get my ecu up and running. but assuming i get the few missing parts and correct the few issues my ecu will be on the car this week.

sorry i haven't posted pics as of yet so here's a few.



this is a pic of my dirty engine bay but you can see my adjustable fuel pressure regulator and the stainless line


multi-throttle intake MTI


another view of the MTI the small pipe sticking out of the side is for the blow off valve that is not yet installed

my natalie


back when the engine bay was clean


anything red is urethane anything silver is aluminum and it's all adjustable


my ECU


i did all the 2tone leather and the woodgrain



yes there are 2 batteries in this car wired in parallel a pair of duralast 65-dlg's that = 2000 cranking amps 1700 cold cranking amps
