Yes the 1514 code is turned off in my tune. Should I turn it on?

I have a copy of his tune and the 1514 table is maxed out at 4.10 in all cells.
Was told by a tuner that the P0101 MAF fail table should have a value of 255 instead of 0 and that's what's causing this, but my car has a value of 0 and I don't have this problem. Waiting for Z06Wanted to change the value and try some launches.

It's a Casper wiring harness that is plug and play for a LS2 wiring harness.

Maxing out the 1514 table did nothing for me. I had to scale the IFR and VE down.

Another problem I noticed with Z06Wanted's tune is that the ETC Scalar is set at .0355. That's going the wrong way for a 90mm from stock which is .0255. It should be .0192. I'm sure that's throwing off calculations somewhere too.

I'll have to look at my logs when I get home. I'm running a 2-bar. Are you still running a MAF? The dynamic cylinder air calculations get cut in half when the MAF is removed, so maybe that explains some things.

2- bar SD here. With the VE and IFR scaled down 30% I see 1.16-1.2 g/cyl.

Well, he went out and tried it and it still goes into reduced power after changing the P0101 value to 255 from 0. It threw a 1516 code once and just the 1278 code the second time. I still suspect a possible voltage issue due to grounds. We'll see.

yeah i ran 0 w/o issue...not the problem.
i did though have TB connector issue that would cause intermittent reduced engine power. look at the tangs to see if there is any issues there. also i would have 1514 code issues with my 427 twin turbo. had to "fudge" the ifr and ve table to "fake" the g/per cyl values. doubt that that his issue

Theres a guy on the hptuners forum that put his 90mm at .0355 and he doesnt have issues. Z06Wanted, do you have another TB to try out? Thats my guess is something is wrong with the motor on the TB

I threw up a thread there about the ETC scalar. I am just wondering if it throws off other calculations. For the record, he changed the values and it did nothing for him and it is still going to REP. I just found out he has a bad battery. He's going to replace that since we know he needs it anyways. Even though I doubt it will, it would be nice if it made the problem go away. The dynamic cylinder air is 2.58 in one of the cells right before it dies.

Ive had a lot of problems with those, they dont crimp the wire good enough and they can come out of the metal clips. I take them apart and soilder all the of connections in the plug ends. Its worth a look.

98. I have my meth maxed out, so I had to take a bunch out of the VE to compensate. The highest value I have in my VE is 127 at 3psi boost, before the meth kicks in.

It looks like we got Shane's car fixed today. We bolted my slicks up and he made a bunch of dig pulls and it has yet to set the reduced engine power. A good solder and heat shrink connection to the T/B harness and a good IAT sensor makes all the difference. Shane owes me a new set of slicks. lol

Butt connectors on a T/B harness? WTF
