I own a 2009 SS/TC, i recently installed a bunch of parts
1) Injen CAI
2) Injen Charge piping
3) Mpx Intercooler
4) Hahn Racrcraft no Cat Downpipe
5) Power Agency Cat-back
After all the parts were installed I updated my computer with a Trifecta tune.

The car has a hard time idling and usually stalls, when it doesn't stall it smells like gas big time.
When I try and drive I can hear the turbo spooling at low RPM which I figure is normal with all the new parts. Lastly the car refuses to produce boost barely makes it above 0.

A few codes have also shown up
P0114
P0100 (2 counts)
P0113 (2counts)
P0101

Checked my MAF (even replaced it) didn't help. But when I unplug it the idle seems to be fine.
Went over some of the connections with the IC but I didn't come across anything and also checked the charge piping... Lastly I made sure the o2 sensor was in solid. Any help would be greatly appreciated

 

id check your charge pipes and make sure everything connected. happened to me before

 

maybe the catless downpipe is causing some of them. but check your piping connections like bpack said

edit: i now saw your tuned. maybe its your tune? who tuned you

 

Wish it didn't get dark so early, but I'll try checking the charge piping again tomorrow

 

@royce777 Trifecta gave me a tune via e-mail and then I tuned it via laptop

 

do you have any experience with tuning? haha

 

^X2

but did you ever do any datalogs or are you on like the base tune? lol im not that good with tuning info. im just trying to narrow down the problem for you

 

This was setup pretty easy open up ezflash program from trifecta, load the sent tune, wait 10-15 mins to install. Unplug

 

All of the DTC's are MAF related so I would obviously venture to say you're having issues with your MAF somewhere. Make a couple of datalogs and send them off to Vince for review. My guess is the MAF is either bad, or clogged with debris/oil but it could possibly be tune related (although I sort of doubt it with the codes that are being thrown)

::edit:: I just noticed that you have also neglected to supply Vince with ANY logs what-so-ever. For god sakes man, make some datalogs already and let him tweak the tune!

 

Who's Vince and how do I get a hold of him? I tried calling Trifecta today but no answer, left a voicemail

 

vince is the owner of trifecta

 

Have you done a boost leak test? If you change all your piping you need to make sure everything is still sealed up like stock.

 

All the DTC's are MAF related so up to this point he should stick to resolving the issue with the MAF and not start chasing his tail.

 

Where did you get your tune from? They should have given you all the info you need, like how to datalog, who to send the datalogs to, etc. When you bought the tune, did you tell them what parts you were putting on the car? Vince will send you a different base tune based on what mods you have, to get you close, then it's up to you to datalog and send that file back for tweaking.

 

I ordered all my parts including the Trifecta tune through modernperformance.com that might have been my issue, so I guess i will make a data log tomorrow and e-mail it to Vince. Outside of that I'm also going to check my IC piping to make sure that didn't loosen on me somewhere down the road.

 

Now not to assume anything here, but can I ask you a silly question? That new maf sensor you installed.... did you install it in the correct direction?

 

Yes haha, it only mounts up 1 way and shows "flow" direction

 

My brother just told me he unplugged my MAF while the car was running to see if it had gone bad... Thus causing the codes. We cleared the codes with my Actron scanner and now the codes don't come up at all. So i will start a data log tomorrow, how long or how many frames does Vince need? I also checked my Intercooler piping and it seems to be solid, but on the Intercooler itself it slides back and forth a little bit but doesn't actually come off the Intercooler. I also plan on getting a Boost leak tester just to verify.

 

You want to drive normally around town, normally on the highway, and a full throttle run in 3rd and 4th.

 

That could be a problem, I can't get it to NOT stall in the driveway lol it's running way rich

 

That will be a problem you're intercooler piping should not move at all on the pipe. Mpx intercoolers have smaller than 2.5 in where it attaches. I used a converter pipe small to bigger. Maybe some of the guys with the Mpx will jump in I remember some double clamping it or something? A boost leak will make you're car run rich also if it is leaking there.

 

I'm pretty confident its your tune. Datalog and email vince.

 

Gonna do a data log today in a few minutes, I probably won't be able to get it on the road though so I'll send what I can get. Thanks everyone for the help, I'm also going to throw another clamp on the Injen side where it is sliding.

 

Added a 2nd clamp and that did the trick, car is running good now. Thanks everyone for helping I was crossing my eyes on this lol, data log made and sent to Vince so hopefully some minor tweaking and all will be well

 

Flash it back to stock, if you still can. the option is built into easy flash. see how it runs...

When you order the tune from MP, did you select gms1 base tune. If so your tune is not right and calibrated for different sensors. Have seen a couple of people do this. Just a thought. would definitely run like crap if that was the case.
