Default 1515 Reduced Engine Power

Having a little issue with the YSI/364/3 Bar car we just finished up. It likes to randomly throw the 1515 and go into REP under WOT conditions. Ive posed the question to a few people already, like to get some others opinions. Car has a LS2 intake and TB on it.

Thanks Guys.

Have you increased your Calc Airflow table?

How about scaling the injector flow rate (IFR) and VE tables?

Two questions: One did your tuner disable the 1514 code ? Because sometimes if the Calc Airflow table is not tuned correctly, I have seen the 1514 pop with the 1515, especially if you are pedaling the car.

However, if not... then I have a good idea what it is.

Let me know

Matt

So your question is. "is 1514 disabled?" Ill have to look. I believe on the dyno last week it did throw 1514 when we tried to pull it past 6500rpm though. Im not positive though. But right now, its just throwing 1515.

Thanks Matt

Ill shoot you the tune file later today if you give me a email address.

1514 is not disabled. What does 1515 or p0608 have to do with TPS correlation? (tuners words)

If you did not max out your airflow table, or 0068, you usually get a 1514/0068 code. You most likely (of course I'm not in front of the car or seen logs) are over powering your TB from the boost level of the YSI, which puts the car in REP.
Thats why many of our higher boost cars have had to switch to a cable TB, the electric motor on the TB simply cant hold itself in place. Before you make any drastic changes like that, I would try replacing the TB if you have one handy, but thats what has been the fix for most of the cars in your shoes.

Ok, but were talking about tossing a 1515, the 1514 issue hasnt come up since it was on the rollers. What is the solution to clear up the 1515 issue?

So i just found out the 1514 code WAS turned off in the tune.. Gonna turn it back on and see what happens from there. Airflow table IS maxed out.

Thanks for the help so far doug, ill keep you updated on what happens.

Wish I had a spare LS2 TB, have LS3 units, just no LS2's.....

The LS3 will give you it's own set of problems At WOT..

Even with that code off, it will still go into REP if the parameters are met.

You can't just turn the p1514 or p1515 codes OFF or set them to "not reported or no mill"
this just keeps the codes from turning on burt does not change anything that is causing your problems or "reduced engine power-"
To correctly eliminate the codes and reduced power modes you MUST alter the "predicted airflow table " in your ECM--In EFILVE it's table C6101---depending on your mods and RWHP all you need to do is ADD about 25% to the entire table---(for apprx 400 RWHP)
More HP add more %----

I have a new LS2 throttle body in route, hopefully that is part of the problem. It may sit till spring though till we have a chance to play with it again though. Ill keep everyone updated and thanks!

If you're moving enough air, maxing the 1514 table won't work. It'll still go into REP. Need to scale the IFR and VE tables.
