^ i hope thats not the case! especially since i know this ems box worked fine before. i hope its just something stupid.

 

ok so i finally went and got a serial to usb adapter and my ems connects fine my tune is still loaded on the ems. BUT when i crank it wont sync (go figure) i noticed i only had like 11.5 volts so i put a charger on the battery but still can't get it to sync. any ideas? should i just try a new battery?

 

Are your injectors disabled?

 

no they're active. i just tried my optima red top out of my vw and still nothing. grrrr damn ems

 

hmmm

if the sensors wont sync might be a timing problem with the cam chain re-install

 

i finally figured it out. the problem is rather simple when i had the head off i went ahead and installed a chasebays tuck harness well when i got it i noticed it was missing a sensor i looked it up and found out that the sensor that was no longer there is not used so i tossed the harness on and noticed one more plug that was no longer used so i blew it off figuring this kid knows what hes doing he builds engine harnesses all the time. that's were i was WRONG turns out he left out the CRANK POSITION SENSOR so being that the aem needs both the crank and cam sensor to run that is exactly why my car wont run. which also explains why it runs so rough on the oem ecu. i guess i have some wiring to do ugh!

 

please tell me you didnt spend the 1700, and have a problem with it!

 

no luckily i sold him my old ssr's off my old dc2 and he and i worked out a deal 900 + a tuck harness for my s so i happily agreed. but now this is the 2nd time i have had to change something. first i had to lengthen the vss wiring which was no biggy but this pisses me off!

 

yah, that still sucks though.... Good to see you figured it out though!

 

Act. if you have a pic, can you post a pic of your engine bay the way it sits with that harness installed.
