well if the SMC is toast why is it running like a champ (until the lines empty) when he turns the pump off???

Im tink the oem fpr is dead.

Re:Car still with problems! *help*
 

I thought about this myself actually. But why would the fpr work perfectly before the smc was installed. I dunno this one has really got me.

Re:Car still with problems! *help*
 

dont forget u did a boost guage too and it connects to the FPR line right.. try a diff line, maybe MAP line see what that does. Maybe the boost guage has a leak and its bleeding vac away from the fpr causing it to richen?? (higher prssures)

Re:Car still with problems! *help*
 

Cant be. Because when the fuel pump is turned off the gauge reads -20 vac steady. But when its running and stumbling to idle its only -10-12. Plus this is a new boost gauge, and new vac line, and a new T, and new fpr hose than previously.

Re:Car still with problems! *help*
 

maybe when its stumlbes because its rich that makes less vac cuz its almost not running.... ???

try disconnecting the boost guage and plugging that line with a golf Tee.

First thing I would do is get a $20 fuel pressure gauge and see what its running.. I think the low vaccum is from it flooding out and trying to stall. If the smc is bad just return it for a new one.. New afc are like $400 now. You might be better off going obd 1 and chipping it.

where did you get a $20 fuel pressure gauge. Everywhere I've been like discount and ---- theyre $35-40. Damn $400 insane. Looks like I'll be getting a used one if the smc is trash. The smc btw was bought used, by someone I dont know. Also bought a btm from them that I have yet to install.

hrm I got a fpr from a d16z6 fuel rail. Cold I put that on? Or are they not switchable?

Re:Car still with problems! *help*

Re:Car still with problems! *help*
 

no he's got the y8.. it should fit and work fine.
