Need help with car boggin with basemap

Post by aristotle »

I was trying to get my car to get tune and just installed my s200b with a basemap supposely for 440 injectors on 7 lbs. of boost. Everything started up fine, the red light on the blue box stayed lit. I drove it around the block a few times and everything seemed fine. I then get on the freeway, trying my best to stay out of boost. I think one time I barely hit boost when accelerating onto the freeway. I didn't make it a mile from my home and my car bogs like crazy.
Check engine light comes on so I exit the freeway and pop hood to check what's wrong. No smoke, no oil leaking, nothing. Then the car stalls. I start it up and it starts up fine. The check engine light goes away, so I try to accelerate and drive away. Car bogs everytime I accelerate and check engine light comes on. The check engine light isn't stored in the ecu so when I try to pull the code, I get nothing and the check engine light goes away when I restart the car.

Any idea what this could be? Could it be that my basemap was way too rich? I took the chip to the tuner and he tuned down the fuel 10% across the board.

It sounds like a boost cut - make sure the s200 is set up for boost (call us with the serial # if necessary). Otherwise I would get the tuner to re-burn the EPROM, and if that doesn't work try a substitute ECU.
