"falling on its face"

[Chatmanboy]

Can some give me a list of what will cause the car to "fall on it face"? (Can running to rich cause this?)

Yep, running rich will definitely do it. Pull a little fuel and see if it helps.

Do you have a scan tool to monitor what the car is actually doing? That would tell you what is going on and might lead you to the issue.

Yes i do but i really dont know what to look for on the scan tool for that problem! I cut the fuel down some and it do run a lil better

Is your translator set for the LS1 MAF or LT1? I think you on the SM you look at your BLMs and TPS volts i think.

I didnt know it was a certain way you can set it for the lt1 or ls1 maf! how is that done?

Since you have a LS1 MAF, Base should be set to 0 and WOT 0 also( reading off TT site)

Also do you have atleast one screen in the MAF?

 

[Chatmanboy]

thats another thing that im confused on! is the screens what do you mean by that? and i just checked the maf and translator and i had the maf on 0 which is 3.5in maf and i only have a 3in could that cause problems? i havent had a chance to take it for a test drive yet!

From reading what TT web site, some get away with no screens in the MAF, Some don't.

With my stock unit, before I knew anything about these cars, a friend...(LT1 owner) told me to descreen my MAF, get more air,power. I find that it does ok, not much day or night. After tho a few oil changes, i smell raw gas in the exhaust(leak by the Cat&DP) Smell was strong, car started running like crap. So, I got the LT1 & translator combo, ran great after. I say, stay with one screen. my 2cents.
