Having sort of a dilema here since installing my IP Headgasket.

I also installed the aem 3.5 bar map sensor and new TB. Both setup in the EMS correctly.

The car will start, but as soon as I give it gas it will die.
When the car is running it shakes violently and barely runs, but it turns

Im looking at TDC and it looks good with the cam gears, however, i did clock the one gear per instructions of IP.

I am wondering if there is a way to figure out if Im off a tooth.

Im on the white line on the crank pulley, the two lines on the central gear line up with the head, and the line on each cam gear are aimed right at eachother, however, they do not look to be perfectly level with the head.

When moving them a gear to get them closer to lined up with the head, then they do not aim properly at eachother.

Anyone have any suggestions.


Also what should tps settings read when the throttle is not touched, Im assuming 0, which is what mine reads now that I recalibrated the TPS, it was a 9% before that.


Thanx in advance

 

I should also add I unhooked the EVAP canister and the VTEC Oil pressure switch, both of which shouldhave nothing to do with those problems

 

Did you rescale for the 3.5bar MAP? The conversion is not a simple wizard operation.

Sounds like your chain timing is correct with the slight error for the 3.5mm gasket.

 

I just jumped into the ems and changed from the honda map to the aem map.

Was there something wrong with that?


Also the map sensor is post TB now instead of in the TB, but that shouldnt make a difference

 

The AEM has 21 sites for load (PSI). With the OEM sensor this is spread over -14.7 to 11PSI. When you change to the AEM 3.5 it spreads the same cells and their values between -14.7 and 35PSI but keeps the same values in the cells.

So the value you used to have for 0psi is now at about 10psi.

What you have to do is select all cells and copy. Then paste them into the smaller area that represents a similar range. Don't worry that they are not the same breakpoints. The software will interpolate and approximate them. You will have to retune for the rest of the map.

But there is a step before you do this. Unless you intend to use 35psi you are wasting a lot of break points. Go into Load Breakpoints and change to table view (press S). Select the last breakpoint (35psi) and set it to something about 4psi higher than what you intend to run. Then select them all and do a Calculate. It will set a suitable range of points. This will give you must greater accuracy in your intended range.

 

I have to do this in Kpa though right?

 

I set it to 152 kpa, approximately 22 psi

How do i do this part though

Thanx aus2000 you are the man

 

Also do i have to change tps to load?

 

I didn't change much else.

Funny a yank using Kps and an Aussie using psi.

 

psi isnt an option in my ems
