I cannot get my low trim to stabalize at all since my MAF translator install. No matter what I adjust the translator to, with the car at idle, the low trim runs from 81 to 139 and back again. Could the MAF be going bad?

Okay, I'm stepping out of my backyard a little here, but I think the 02 sensor would be at fault in this case. If the ECU can't get a solid reading from that little guy, it'll constantly be adjusting to an unstable reading, causing the sweeps you speak of. Anyhow, that would be my first course of action.

Thanks for the input Goat. Your logic make sense. Looking through the archives, I believe the general idea is get OEM Mitsu or Denso and stay away from Bosch. Anybody have any comments here?
Tonight I swapped in another MAF I had and the trims may have calmed down some. I'll check the trims again on the way to work tomorrow and see if it the same. -------------------- 92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD "The Black Golfball" How fast can a 14B go???

You could also try turning the MAF. With GM MAFs and reducers the thing can be turned to where it won't see airflow at low flow rates.

I tried turning the first MAF and it made no differance.
Is there a orientation it's "supposed" to be? Looking on the internet, everyone seems to have different setups. Mine's in a draw through config so it's hard to find examples, most run blow through. The second one does vary some idling, 110-127. But nowhere near the first one where it would just cycle up and down the range 81-82-83 etc (at the speed it took to read those numbers). So I'll try rotating it and see if I can stop it completly With this MAF all the trims have seemed to stabalized lean, Hi 102, MID 106 and Low 110-127 so I need to bump up my base setting. I'm getting about .88 at WOT. -------------------- 92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD "The Black Golfball" How fast can a 14B go???

It is supposed to be clocked so that the rectangular portion of the sensor is positioned so it is at the 'top'. having said that, a lot of people never have a problem 'kicking' to the side.
I like to 'kick' it, sure. That's why I have my license plate frenched into my tailgate on my s10 bagged pickup at a carazay angle. But then again, I'm a rebel who follows his own path, not some conformist who 'plays by the rules'. So all you suckers out there who 'walk the line' and 'play fair' can eat my dust while I billy bad-ass it up, shaking and baking my way into and out of wacky situations. That's just me. -------------------- my cars breath smells like car food

Ok, somethings not right. Tried to do so WOT pulls. The car was bucking like crazy and I thought it was fuel cut. But it bucked 5-6 times. So I pulled the log. The O2 reading at WOT are not right. It's put out random .02V at 100% TPS. I was thinking it was fuel cut, but there's still injector pulses, so it can't be fuel cut. I also noticed a black cloud after one of the bucking.
Here's some logs: LOG Graph Downloading the pic will make it look better LOG DATA What do you guys think? I'm thinking Goat mighted of guessed it right with the o2 sensor. -------------------- 92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD "The Black Golfball" How fast can a 14B go???

Oh, wait.... you'll prolly not even make it in the pre-quals, so I guess you'll have to wait until your car gets some bigger yams. Darn. In all seriousness, I'm excited to see what the car can do with this itty bitty turbo. Not sure what exactly setup I'll be running for fuel/boost and all. We shall see.... -------------------- QUOTE (gsxracer80 @ Oct 31 2006, 12:41 AM)

Gap your plugs to .026. It sounds like spark blowout to me.

I was thinking along the same lines. You may also want to upgrade the plug wires if they are still the stockers.

Plug wire are magnacore and in decent shape.
I put a Bosch o2 sensor in, Mitsu could get an OEM one until next week. Things were great for about half an hour. Trims were decent, most importantly it pulled like a freight train with no fuel cut, no bucking. Great right?!?! Well on the way home the o2 sensor went to sleep. At idle it reads .00!! Rev the motor it picks up a little and settle back to .00. WTF is going on here? I check continuity between the plug connection and there good. Car seems to run fine but I can't trust it not melting down. -------------------- 92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD "The Black Golfball" How fast can a 14B go???
