Re: E85 back to Pump 93

Sounds like the ECU. Capacitors failure if I had to guess. If you have a JWT ECU then you can send him a replacement computer along with yours and pay them to move their board over to the replacement ECU. This is what I had to do. The wide band and narrow band signal are reading correctly and accur...

Re: E85 back to Pump 93

So the next question is... do you think its the ecu or the narrowband voltage from the O2 getting stuck in rich mode for whatever odd reason up to that point which is the coolant temps reaching ~175F ... which may have nothing to do with it (maybe coincendence) or it could be until the exhaust gas t...

Re: E85 back to Pump 93

I experienced a similar issue years ago when i was still running tuned stock ECU. I'm assuming you are getting your O2 voltage values from what the ECU sees. If this is true I would disconnect the narrow band signal and check with the signal voltage from the O2 with it disconnected. There is a chan...

Re: E85 back to Pump 93

Are you running stock O2 sensor still for the computer? If so, what's your O2 voltage reading from cold to warm? OK... so upon COLD start the O2 sensor (narrowband output from wideband) reads .44V upon cold start with wideband reading 14.7, then stays solid for about 30 seconds when the O2 voltage ...

E85 back to Pump 93

So about 5 yrs ago or maybe a bit more i switched to E85, running a Emanage Blue, i upped the injector chart +35% at idle and during boost to compensate for the E85 conversion.. Kept the same Walbro 255LPH fuel pump, same 300zx fuel filter, same Nismo 615cc injectors… All has been good for the 5 yrs...

fluid, air, sound are all lazy, they'll take the path of least resistance. due to the VC being a pretty straight shot for the air to go and the PCV having to dance through the separator you could say its easier for the air to go out the VC. picture a pail with two holes in it, if one holes bigger o...
