Limp Mode and FI

SAM@GTM · 09-11-2012, 05:56 PM

Yes, it is triggered for a reason. You are adding FI to your NA car. The two MAP/BARO sensors are very low range sensors and are designed to work off a very small voltage range. Adding boost will exceed that threshold and therefore it is inevitable for this code to get triggered since the boost makes the sensor go out of range. The only fix is to disable the code. The car will no longer go into limp mode once the code is disabled and there is no downside to disabling it.

Sounds like you need a better tuner. Take it to a reputable shop like Jotech or one of many others in our area. They should be able to help you out.

Jotech installed his SC and probably tuned it.

So then why is he asking for our opinions on how to fix it? Take it back to them! Has he changed something since they installed it and tuned it? If not, they should be willing/able to fix the problem.

(Oh and me and him met the other day at Jotech!) :-)
