I took out the MAF about 100 times, cleaned it, checked the connectors and the same....

I was just incontact with Esmeril and they said to check the injectors and verify that the hose to the interceptor-x is kosher.....

I will complete this tomorrow as it is raining by me at the moment....

I will def keep everyone updated.....

I am interested in how it turns out. I am having problems myself. Running lean into boost so bigger injectors, P1 380, P2 440 and SEC 550, and mazsport fuel pump. Previous owner burned up old 04 motor running lean. GReddy e-manage blue conflict with ECU over injector control at 1/4 throttle. Told cutting "yellow" wires, injector control, to ECU is a quick fix. I have fwd service manual to tune shop (Solid-Technology) to help them insure which wires to cut. and

Mig - do you have a wideband O2 to see where abouts your AFRs are? Prior to tuning, if the car will idle with the interceptor and hold a fair afr with some bouncing, that's more or less fine. You can clean that up later. You'll find that the Int-X doesn't export maps so Game would have to bring his dongle to your house for you to upload his map or he's have to screenshot it and you'd put it in manually. If you are both running off the base map sent with the kit, I should think you'd have the same map.

Did you perform a TPS callibration? There is a function for it on the Int-X though I don't know if it is part of a proper start up sequence. Just sitting there with the car running and your laptop open, you should be able to see what the engine is doing for the most part. You can download a microtech LT manual to see what all the functions are and at least read what yours are set to. I do know that the cold pump function is actually a coolant sensor calibration on an Int-X.

Where abouts in NY are you?

I am in Nassau County LI............

But i think I found the problem and if any ones knows what is it then great.....

When I have the key on the ON position i get a clicking noise that is comming from underneath the intake manifold by where the injectors are. At the same time there is a clicking sound the yellow light turns on the Inter-X which is label "Ignition"........

So I am taking out the manifold and double checking that all is Kosher under there.......

Like i said if anyone knows what would cause this sound in that area by the injectors please tell me!!!!!!

Thank you

BTW sorry for the late responces i get out of work @6pm

The clicking is the SSV bouncing open and shut.
Known Int-X "problem".

Well this is when the key is in the ON position, but not realy on....

Would this cause the car not to go over 25000rpm???

So....

I traded interceptors with GAMECHILD and my car seemed to run fine. It went upto and passed 3000 rpm.

I just sent the interceptor to the boys at Mazsport to verify the problem.....

Once i get it back i will make sure to post a youtube vid of it.....

Thanks to all for the advise, it helped alot!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5 Seconds away from lighting my car on FIRE!!!!

Ok so here is the status... and yea it is still not up and runing...
Scott did determine that there was something wrong with the inter-x so right now it is in Australia being repaired...
I bought the Cobb AP thinking that that would solve everything...
So i start it and attempt to get out of my driveway...
I noticed that everytime i start going need boost the car just bounces around like i am going over 1 million speed bumps.....
I am pretty sure this is not MM maps because they have been working on other members rides...
Any ideas????
BTW these are my mods.....
Esmeril turbo kit
1000cc secondary injectors
esmeril ignition system
rp supercat
b&b exhaust
and there is also ton of smoke.... it is night but appears to be blue....
AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The reply - a blow thru set up??? - is not an encouraging sign.

It may in fact indicate that one is immersed over ones head....

Well if the Emseril Kit is "blow through" set up or not i would not know.

I only followed the instruction provided by esmeril and later confirmed that the Interceptor-X was faulty. Scott told me himself.

Blow thru means the MAF sensor is after the turbo.
