Could Hondata Cause this sputtering ?

Post by BoostedCThatch »

Well, first off i'd like to say how much of a dumb dumb i am .. i took my car to the local tuner ... I accidently had the factory Map sensor and the 3 bar map hooked up as well .. So .. until i got home , 2 hours away i noticed that both of them were hooked up, so unknowingly both map sensor's connected and tuned .. @ 22psi we dyno'd 540 @ the wheels .. with no sputtering issues on the 3rd gear pull .. on 2nd gear during the warm up on the dyno i noticed a sputter around 6 grand .. and coutinued the more i layed in to the pedal .. the tuner said don't worry about it .. its nothing ..

Current symptoms... Car in neutral .. and just revving up to 8 grand i hear and feel intermitent sputtering as well as when i take the car on the road ..

Now that the OEM map sensor is disconnected .. and i'm just running with the 3 bar .. would the initial tuned be ruined because it was tuned with two map sensor's hooked up . ?? Or .. now that i disconnected the OEM map?..

Are those Map settings saved within the program as well as the fuel and ignition ?...

This is on a S200 with boost option

Please help .. I'm racing on Saturday and tuner left on vacation ..

You will have to have the car re-tuned with the proper map sensor connected. having to sensors will completely mess up the readings and cause problems running correctly.
