car is running better

[pisano]

car is running way better now that i put a gasket on the egr. the leaks gone now and drives great but at idle im getting a little surge rpm will go to like 700 car will shake a bit then go back up to like 950-1000 then will run smooth at like 850-900 for a couple seconds, im still using the 84/85 maf but have 86/87 ecm. could that be why

 

[pisano]

ive read to keep using it and ive read to switch to 86/87, i think im gonna just get lt1 maf but i dont wanna do it for nothing either

I smell another leak before the 02 sensor. The 84/85 MAF will cause a rich condition. The rpm change indicates the chip adding and subtracting fuel. What is your BLM at idle warmed up in park? Brad

Yes you need the 86/87 maf if you have the upgraded ecm. You can go ahead and upgrade to the LT1 maf and translator. Thats what I did and I love it compared to the stock maf.

my blm and int are always 128 shouldnt they move around

 

[pisano]

tomorrow im gonna really look for leaks in every spot too just to be safe

what is the difference between the two?

 

[pisano]

also my cross counts move up by like 2-8 at a time and the instructions say it should be 10-20

Not exactly sure. I just know that the hot air maf works best with the stock hot air ecm and likewise the 86/87 maf works best with the 86/87 ecm.

 

[pisano]

no, i ment whats the difference of 87 maf and lt1 maf?

 

[pisano]

another thing i noticed it doesnt do it in drive while at a red light or something but if i throw it in park at like a gas station and try to let it idle there for a while it will shake a bit every 10-15 seconds maybe i need to turn my iac up its at 0-10 most of the time in park so il try 10-20, seemed to like it at 0-10 at first but wont hurt to try, and il try to find any leak i can today

The 87 MAf is no longer being made. The LTI is a new GM MAF which needs a translator on order to work with th 87 ECM. Brad

 

[pisano]

ok the egr was leaking a little bit still so i removed it completey, made my own block off, and put a pipe plug in the back of the intake, the rpm is pretty steady now but runs alot better without the maf plugged in, i think i need the new maf

 

[pisano]

heres a video of it running, usually as soon as i disconnect maf it runs smoother this time i had to give it gas after i disconnect

=

i used to have a monte that leaked alot of oil so thats why i got dirty drive way

Sounds good. You are making progress. You have a code 34-MAF signal too low-Bad or unplugged MAF. Was your MAF disconnected?Brad

 

[pisano]

it was connected at first and then i disconnected, never used to show that signal unless i disconnected it, would it be i have to reset the ecm to clear that code or maybe it finally started throwing the code. i think i might just get a translater and lt1 maf.

translater is freakin expensive

 

[pisano]

Sounds good.

Do you have the valve cover plugged up on the driver's side?

this one will work, i have it on mine. if you have stock air intake setup, you will have to plug the oil (don't know what its called)thing on your intake tube...make sense? if you have aftermarket, air intake setup, you'll be fine.
