major problem

ok took the car to the shop finaly hooked up gauges, air/fuel tranny oil temp and psi gauge. well first of all the air/fuel and oil temp dont work so im going to need to buy a new one but here is the major problem.

when ever the car shows one psi now it goes limp basicly i cant acelerate unless i floor it and get it past that point, it does it early 40s, 50s and at 65. also i noticed when i got it back that when i put the car into drive or reverse it takes at least 3 seconds to actualy shift into that now (my car is an auto).

an interesting thing is the car worked fine for 5 minits or so and during that time it only showed as much as 2 psi so i guess thats what i have been running the whole time sigh.

any ideas whats wrong? tranny fuel pump? o ya im trowing 2 coes 131 (02 sencer) 113 (some air sencer high input thing)

Does your sf kit have a check valve or missing link for your map. It sounds like your map sensor is reading boost which is not good.

no missing link or any thing like that, but why would it all of a sudden see it after having the kit on for 5 months?

yeah try the missing link. As for the delay for reverse, my frieind had that in his auto civic right before the tranny gave out. It take 3 sec now but as time goes on it's going to take lopnger and longer to shift into reverse. Get some funds ready for a spare tranny incase. It's only a matter of time. you might want to invest is a tranny cooler. The o2 codes. Do you have a high flow cat? Because the first code is when the secondary sensor is reading the same as the first. and the high voltage is for the primary sensor which means that your car is running richer then it should.

are all your settings the same? It sounds like it could be lean too, check to make sure everything is saved still. Could also be the MAP sensor. I dont know how it handled the boost this long. Get possibly a new MAP sensor, and a missing link. You do need one for sure, or your map will get f'ed. You dont want the ECU to see boost.

I was throwing that 113 code the other day. What it was, is that when we installed the kit, we were unsure if the wires were backwards, so we tried them the opposite way, adn the car wouldnt start, so we did a "quick" solder to it, and it came somewhat loose. It was throwing that code. High voltage to sensor type thing. Get the missing link. My car bogs down (feels like it, it could be from going to boost to stock) for like half a sec when I shift, than picks up. Is that normal boost lag? and should it go lean in that time?

i allready have a tranny cooler and have had one for over a year before the turbo.

ok problem seems to have been the crapy check valve that sf had come with the kit shop orderd a missing link so problem should be solved thats the update.
