just installed tt emissions chip, and adjustable fuel regulator pressure set to 38 psi with line off per tt chip instructions

failed hc this time smells like big time fuel limit is 2.00 mine was 4.39
im ready to blow this m'fer sky high..first time it failed only for nox, cleaned egr out, plugged shut, new injectors and chip, failed nox and hc last time, this time it obviously failed HC again....help please, don't want to keep bugging Jack

How many ppm were the hc's at? You think the cat was ever tampered with?
Maybe try decarbing with GM top engine cleaner?

i never thought of the cat...it could have been...i have the numbers at home....runs like crap now too...pops through the intake....so much for an emissions chip and lowering the fuel pressure.....it was 2 1/2 times the limit

cam lobe wiped ?

idles nice with the tt chip, i installed the adj regulator and emissions chip and it runs like shit now, and HC's are high...i could get an emissions waiver but that won't solve the problem..and with premium being 430 a gallon, i'd rather not waste any more than I need to

So what up Buck, are you around today.. come on down, I want to check a few things.. like the cat....

i'm working but will definitely swing by...if I need an f'in cat, i'll get an f'in cat...i know the exhaust is hacked up to begin with....took it for a little drive yesterday and it didnt want to run at more than 1/4 throttle..parked it and shut the garage door

I have a 3 inch hi flow cat, to go along with that 3 inch ss ATR exhaust.:D

i hear ya, but at this point what I WANT is taking a back seat to what i NEED...i need this car to run right

sorry big guy....couldnt make it down today..m'fer looked like the Hulk from all the pollen so I took the truck this morning..got home from work, started her up, stalled out and lost all the dash lights...turned key...NOTHING!!!!!!!!!! pulled hood release, attempted to pop hood by banging on it, no good, pulled lever harder, broke off in my hand, got pissed slammed handle back on, hood popped open, slammed hood back down after checking battery connection, car started, got pissed, backed it into garage running like shit....only major change in scanmaster numbers are 02's....they stayed in the 100's...maybe tomorrow..dont even want to look at that beotch right now...

DAAAAAmn......... thats one finicky be-otch..... looks like you need time out... I'm here when ya ready... we'll get her straight. Go bang some bad guys around.... :D

if she stays running ill be over around 3

Believe me, I understand. I wish the best of luck. I am sure Jack and Brian can figure it out.

not surprised...easy fix for them...nut backed off adj fuel reg...fuel pressure too low...but the real problem i've been chasing..the fuel smell and emissions failures...GUTTED CAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I should have paid more attention seeing as the rest of the system was hacked when I bought it, but in my excitement to own one I overlooked the ez stuff...new cat from Jack on there now, and amazing, no gas smell, only took it around the block though...more time thursday...thanks once again Jack...you are the F'in man!!!!! :)

!!!!!:D

i wont smile too much until i get the sticker, then I can get stuff I WANT not NEED!!!!!!!! :)

Nothing worse than spending money on things you have to have. Takes all the fun out of life! Good luck with your E test.

good thing is, no matter how much I've already spent, the stuff I did spend the dough on were things I needed to do anyway, so it's not like I wasted it...if it clears up today i'll fire her up and hopefully get me a sticker..then bye bye emissions chip, hello fun:)

We're not out of the woods yet, but heading in the right direction.... when you are ready to go, let me know, maybe I'll take a ride over with ya...

i hear ya...i dont want to count my chickens before they are hatched, but definitely more confident now with the new cat..thanks again Jackalope

Jackalope..... thats a good one... :)

I suppose its better than Mr. Meehoff :)

Praise the Lord...Chris has a sticker!

Congratulations! Now get that cat off and do some mods.

Awesome! Glad to here it! Looks like two of us are having a good daY!:D

Jack, please allow Chris to change his user name!

That's his call...... :) thanks for the cat post... I took care of dat... yep, new cat.... he passed with flying colors, thanks Brian. Ya baby.... Mike has his car and I have a new Grand Pritional... :)

I think that should be the next shop progress thread.;)

I think we need to see progress on the "Pumpkin Seed". ;)

We happened to drive by Chris's house yesterday afternoon and what a sight to see! There were balloons, decorations and lots of cars (party goers)....I guess he had a really big party because he finally got his inspection sticker.....

yes I am psyched...big party with pink and brown balloons to celebrate my $90 inspection sticker...i invited everyone, almost thought about inviting my nemesis Fatty McButterPants from next door..then I thought,,,naaaaaaaa...thanks again for all your help Jack..appreciate the way you take care of your customers...not too many around like that anymore....radiator time...had her up to 234 yesterday.......NOT COOL!!!!!!!!!!!
