Kpro v4 Pnf ecu, ep3 k24a2/k20z4 head. Spitting black smoke

Post by MURPHITOJONES69 »

I've recently installed a k24 into my ep3. K24a2/k20z4 head, rbc intake, stock ep3 tb, type s oil pump, 3 inch k&n air filter, stock harness. My engine used to rev up to 4k and plus at start up. Accidentally swapped map and tps sensor connectors thinking that might of been issue and then black smoke started coming out. Swapped the connectors back and now engine is surging and more black smoke comes out. Need advice, thank you.

Do you have the immobilizer enabled or disabled in the calibration?

Is it cranking and the engine turning over or is it not cranking?
