hey guys just got all my parts in a valvebody,c&l upper intake, 4 lb lower , throttle body,95 mass air, chip ,and new inter cooler i took it for a spin and it smeed like it was boggging down a little as i gave it more gas then it would jump back up. it kept doing that over and over then as i got it floored i thought i heard denatation i don't know what it sounds like so i could be wrong now. i know johnny tuned the chip wrong he forgot to tune it with the 2lb upper thats it. will it make that big of a differents. so what ya'll guys think i should do, i would be so thankful if you could help me. o and the valve body don't shift like it should it still shifts really soft like you can't even feel it when it shifts to first to second. i have no idea what is causeing that .....chris

 

took it for a ride again and it seems like it is gargling when im at 40 and give it just enough gas to down shift and it does that before and after it shifts but i let of after it makes that noise so im not sure how long it will do it. kinda seems like its ethier getting too much gas or not enough man im so confused need help i called johnny but he never called me back in 2 days so i figured it post here see if i could get help

 

what kind of gas are you using? thoughts: 1) winter 2) chip is programmed for less boost than you're running, which means it could lean it out too much, and cause detonation... 3) s/c cavitation maybe? 4) don't get on it anymore until you can get a hold of johnny

 

im using 93 and i always had the 2 lb on it even with out the chip why would it cause a problem now? and ill wait till monday to call him again before i drive it more

 

Just an idea.......was the TPS set correctly. I don't know if this could be one of the problems but I'm sure it's possible.

 

ok i feel stupid but what is tps

 

I've ridden in the truck.

it does sound like cavitation....at least similar to how itd sound on a boat (heh).... but what the crap would cause this??

there is def. something weird with his supercharger. even with the open filter/etc it wines less than when I picked mine up from the dealership. however, it still produces boost! the needle goes way past the "10 psi" mark on the stock boost gage. wtf

also....although less of a concern... the valve body really doesn't shift quite like it should. we both have the same valve body and mine shifts xxxxxxxxxxx times firmer. it might be we still need to regulate the fluid.


----------

all this being said... this is what I suggested.....

he has the stock plugs in there, and it's an '00. I suggested we need to get those plugs changed pronto. also, the tune *needs* to be correct, and for all the new parts!

any other suggestions would be appreciated!

TPS = throttle position sensor?

OR...

TPS as in "did you get the TPS report?"

hehehe

ok funny mikey where is the tps reports located and wheres my stapler my skyline stapler

 

Swingline stapler!!!!!

 

i think the tps is right there on the throttle body right? i haven't really looked b/c my truck is 2200 miles away but that where it was on my jeep... also another thing to consider is if the truck had the I/C problem fixed/looked at. if you're mechanically inclined and have a spare weekend it'd be good to pop the s/c off and clean the intercooler... maybe pop in a new fuel filter while your at it... and i would definitley change the plugs to at least NGK TR-6s... maybe BR-7s with that much boost?

 

i have denso 22's is that ok. also i replaced the intercooler and now it no longer curculates it just sits there do i have to like prime it or somthing?

 

you should be fine with the 22s... no IC circulation? i'm no expert on ICs but i'm pretty sure thats bad

 

If your not circulating any water then your sending a hot charge of air into the engine. We already know how much heat these eatons create with out overspinning them. If your running 2 + 4 thats spinning it pretty good. You will expirence detenation and very poor thorttle response especially after you reached operating temp. Anytime the IAT2 temp reaches above the mid 60's the pump should be operating ( which is almost always). I have a 2000 also and run a 6lb lower. My intercooler pump failed and I had the same problems. I would bet most of your problem lies with the no circulation. After correcting this I would ensure your tune is ok. Check the connecter at the pump down by the Heat exchanger being that you replaced the heat exchanger it maybe loose. If I remember correct with the ignition on the pump is always supplied with 12v and when it is time for the pump to operate the PCM completes the circuit with a ground. Hope you get it worked out. Nothing more frustrating than getting some new mods, installing them and not having everything work right.
Good luck!

 

ok well checked the plug and its on good now i do that when i took it in the shop thy replaced a hose i wonder if they put the hoses on backwards again yes again had that happen already so i was wondering does anybody have pics or info on excatly where the all the hoses are suppose to go. and could it be a fuse? where is the fuse to the pump like which one of the fuses under the hood could it be
