2) an aftermarket piggyback controller is tied into the DME system to implement an O2 sensor into the car for the grey market import certification

3) you are not getting full throttle and the full throttle switch is not activating

4) the fuel quality switch in the DME may have been tampered with to lean the mixture

5) possible low fuel pressure problem
1) The black cover on the bottom of it? It doesn't look like it has been tampered with.

2) The entire DME was replaced with a US dme when the original burnt out. Wiring harness was replaced too.

3) I checked at the switch and it is working. Would it be possible the signal is not getting to the DME?

4) It is set in the counter-clockwise position

5) Is there something that could affect fuel pressure under load but not during the regular test?

Thanks!
