3bar map sensor makes car lobe... HELP!!! - SRT Forums

cacahead · 01-22-2008, 02:40 PM

I installed my Mopar 3bar map sensor this weekend, well it made my car lobe... sounded badass but i;m sure its not suppose to do that, then the exhaust fumes started smelling real bad(yea weird). I'm running the stock pcm, any idea as to why my car would do this? or should i upgrade my pcm?

Ummmmm??? anybody else?

I started to type a serious response...

Then I said fuckit.

Don't do anything, just keep running it. It adds like 50hp.

i'm asking seriously

Do you have the AEM EMS with the stock PCM or just the stock PCM??

Why are you posting in the map section BTW????

cacahead · 01-24-2008, 06:15 AM

actually i just have the stock pcm, and i didn't notice i was posting in the wrong section. Sorry

yea buddy you need to take that map off. if your running a stock pcm your only going to run lean up top and eventually add a couple of vents to the block. you need a stage 2 or stage 3 pcm to use a mopar 3 bar map sensor.

3 bar map sensor must equal hp...right?

you fail. the stock PCM is not calibrated for the range the 3 bar map puts out. You have two options, put the stock sensor back in or install a stage 2 or stage 3 PCM.

Please install stock map sensor now before you mess ur engine up.

I laughed after reading every reply to this thread

On a serious note, its only bad if you only run the 3 BAR map sensor and not the TIP. You won't see the 50whp gain on only the 3 bar map, you need the 3 bar tip also

yea i put the stock map sensor back on, i was sure the car wasn't suppose to lobe like that. And the only reason i bought the 3 bar was because i put my boost controller on, and my CEL came on with an oveboost code.
