85 with a digital dash converted to Gnx style.
I added Alky and a map sensor and now when I go into boost I hear a little alarm going off near the Glove conpartment. There is a amber light that does not light up above the box, not sure what it is. It never did this till I added the Alky and Map sensor. Any one know about this? :confused:
 
There is no such alarm device stock on the GN's. It could be an audible knock sensor that is going off that someone before you added onto the car.
 
the alarm means you need to take your foot off the gas !!!!!

dont go into boost till you get the car straightened out and run a scanmaster

thats detonation your hearing not the actual detonation but someone hooked up an audible knock detector to the wires at the ecm at the passenger side foot well , i run one in mine , that alarm is the lift or walk home signal , usually takes 4 degrees of KR to set it buzzing

in your case putting the GNX in place off the digital doesnt matter but you have the same problem as someone who removed the stock analog dash and put in a gnx , you have no power to the MAP , the digital cars dont have power or ground for the map connector at the fender , for analog cars if the cluster is removed those cars no longer have power there either.
did you establish power to the map by jumping the 5v and ground from the TPS ?
if you didnt establish that power and ground you wont have a working map , no map no alky , then you get detonation from running a chip that has less fuel due to the anticipated alky spraying in, no alky low fuel and you will knock at much lower boost levels than a non alky chip

im fairly certain what you have isnt a razor alky kit or you would have known this by reading the instructions with his.
do you have a scanmaster ? ,
thats something you need to run with if you plan to go boosting in the alky level
im sure your getting KR and if alky isnt spraying your lean , thats a sure fire way to loose a head gasket or piston
 
More info to confuse the issue!

This is razors kit and yes the 5v comes from the Tps. I have a scanmaster, knock guage and air/fuel meter. There is no knock and the boost that triggers that alarm comes on after 4 lbs. I looked at the Ecm cables and could not see any wires attached to the knock sensor wire besides the one I added. I am still wondering about that amber light! This happened after Razors kit install it's hard to drive and stick your head under the dash at the same time. I'm stumped,did the factory provide some type of alarm?
 
if you have razors kit i suggest calling him , even if its not alky related its much easier and faster to clear up issues over the phone
