Map sensor code with vafc?
 

Well, after reading through some posts, i understand taht running the vafc2 with 450's is good to about 11-12 psi, before you get a check engine light for the map.

Well, after a long 3rd gear run, i got a code 3, map sensor code. Im running 9 psi with teh 450s and a vafc2. I dont know, maybe i got a boostspike, but nothing noticable. What else could cause this? THanx...

did the car go into limp mode? (start to bog)

if it did than you are either running the afc too rich or you are running too much boost for the map

i fixed my problem by changing some of the setting on the afc....what are ur settings?

Re:Map sensor code with vafc?
 

-34% from 1000-2000 on teh narrow throttle, -32% everywhere else, and throttle points are 72% and 73%. Running 9psi, and really rich, so i think that might be it, having starting problems too.

Re:Map sensor code with vafc?
 

Yeah, -32% is pretty rich and probably not enough to trick the ECU. I'd hate to recommend a setting because it might be too lean, but most of the time it's a general rule to start at -35% across, which should be rich. :-\

mine are
LOTH

1000 = -46%
2000 = -44%
3000 = -42%
4000 = -40%
5000 = -38%
6000 = -36%
7000 = -35%

HITH

4000 = -40%
4500 = -39
5000 = -38
5500 = -37
6000 = -36

ECT...

still throws the code when driving 1 out of 5 stop and goes and ecu still blinks #3 right as i start the car...
