yokotavia 0 Report post Posted July 16, 2011 alright so i got jzx90 1j in an x8. i installed a manual boost controller a week ago and it boosts 13psi all day fine. any higher and it hits fuel cut. BUT last night it rained pretty good, so i went out and drove around like an asshole. this morning i start it up, seems normal...then i let it warm up. start driving down my street and as soon as my boost gauge reads 0 it spits and sputters until i let off. doesnt matter what rpm. has a 2 week old walbro 255 in it....and it ran great the night before at 13psi. now it will not boost at all. its fine all the way to readline with no load. but as soon as it starts to get into boost it pretty much shuts off HELP!?

yokotavia 0 Report post Posted July 16, 2011 problem solved. I took out my ecu and removed the covers to check for water damage or leaking capacitors...checked for boost leaks, checked intercooler piping for oil. nothing bad from any of that... then i put my ecu back in and start it up. and bam, drives normal. went drifting and everything is back to normal. wtf i guess i hit fuel cut too many times trying to set my boost...so it went into limp mode? or something i checked for codes and the CEL just flashed really fast constantly... but anyways, problem solved!

yokotavia 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2011 thats what my only guess was. because i took it out....inspected it...let the car sit with it disconnected for a few minutes and then tried it again and it worked! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
