Correct me if i'm wrong, but Pettit says our blower cannot turn more than 15k without losing its reliability. Having said that, if the A/I is as good as advertised, then we should push our blowers to the limit!

Saturday is crank day---pics(during install and finished product) and credits and such will be posted if my teenagers will show me how to do it again.
The airbox mod is turning out pretty cool. involves plexaglass painted flat back and aluminum strips as edging.
CAI for engine bay involves the usual corrugated 4"
pipe routed down to the grill area(with appropriate mounts etc.

I posted this in its own thread, but I'm guessing a lot of people never check the Pettit section overall, just come straight to the SC threads. So I just want to hijack long enough to put a link to this question on the reflash: https://www.rx8club.com/pettit-racing-114/pettit-reflash-na-129935/

I'll let you know in about half hour. Also, when I erase the code everything works fine but after acouple of starts, the code returns and back to 3k rpm. Everything else looks fine (start, idle and so on).
That'll happen. It's a continuous monitor that the PCM does, for obvious reasons, and you may just have a problematic connection on either your throttle body or gas pedal connectors.
Is there any work you've done near these areas in the past day or so?
The deal with checking the ECT is that the PCM puts engine in a high-idle mode and slowly drops the idle speed as the engine warms up. If the PCM doesn't see the engine getting warmer it will disallow the throttle to go beyond a certain point. That could be the issue, too. Is it running rich all of a sudden?

The only thing I have done recently was a home made ground kit. Basically I installed three ground wires directly to the battery negative post. One to the engine block (below the plugs) same place where the OEM is located. One to the lower intake manifold (same place as the OEM location). And one to one of the strut tower bolts.
Juan, what you're saying is that you checked out the action of the throttle body butterfly with the intake duct removed and when someone pushes the gas pedal to the floor the butterfly goes wide open?
That is in addition to checking the wires/connections on the TB and accelerator pedal plugs?
Is it possible that your coolant is low?
ECT=Engine Coolant Temperature sensor.
Ground points are a big deal on the 8. Maybe remove those three wires from the battery and see if anything changes.

[QUOTE=Charles R. Hill;2124276]How do you check the butterfly with the engine running and the intake duct removed?
I have a a 13 yo son and I got him to step on the gas while I looked the the butterfly and the car runs even if the MAF and intake piece is of the throttle intake.
Still have the same problem and all the extra ground cables are off the car now.
