So I just installed OTTP's Stage III kit today, and when I turned the key (not start yet) it gave me the Engine Power Reduced bullshit. So I try starting it, it cranks but does not start. Now, I installed a new 3" intake and cleaned the throttle body, which is the only thing I can imagine being wrong. Could it be the new ECM that came with the kit?

Any help would be awesome because I'm going to start troubleshooting first thing tomorrow morning. Thanks!

 

What codes you getting?

 

New ECM needs a crank re-learn doesn't it?

 

^^^^^^ I would think that too.

 

Yeah, that too. And if you have a trifecta tune why do you need a new ecm anyways?

 

Make sure u connected the sensor for the TB, it will run without a case relearn but the car runs really really really rich like bad it will spit and sputter if it touches 2 PSI its bad, Go get it tuned! it sucks 2500 for the kit if not more and another how ever much to get tuned =[ but go get it tuned up and ull be alot happier what cooling mods u got for it? get a H/e atleast meth always works my cig has my setup in it i have the same kit as you

 

did you touch the spark plugs at all?

 

If you had the barometric sensor unplugged at all, make sure you didn't accidentally switch the connector with the supercharger inlet pressure sensor.

 

did u mess with the fuel pump fuse at all awhile ago i had someone mess with my fuel pump and fliped the fuse for it ahahah

 

I had all sensors unplugged. Pretty sure they are back the way they were.

It came with a tuned ecm. All I had to do was plug it up. Would messing with the throttle body cause this? I will look at the codes in the morning.

that can be easey done

 

did you plug your flux capacitor back in?

 

When I came to that point, I could see how one could mix those up. But since I spray painted my old sc, I could tell which one went where

 

I heard if you disconnect the TPS that you have to do a relearn once you plug it back in. I just did mine yesterday as well and I left it plugged in just moved it to the side. not taking the chance.

 

Isnt there a way to do a relearn myself without hpt or the dealer? Like ON position for ten min then off, and do that 2 more times?

 

no you dont

no you need htp or the dealer but that wont keep it from starting and running

 

Does the car crank at all or no?

 

i doubt it man. im pretty sure everyone would have done that

 

****! This is pissing me off. I was expecting it to at least start. I have no idea what to do besides put all the old stuff back on and pray it starts

 

What codes are you getting?

 

Interceptor says no codes

 

you swapped the ecu so did you do a security relearn

 

if you have an interceptor im pretty sure you can do a case relearn on that

 

i dont think so at least not with the one i have

 

ya u can^^^^....mine did this when i had my stage2 installed. did u plug your fuel pump rely in? your throttle body connection, well if u didnt you would of gotten a code from that. check the injectors, start it and have some one near the engine and stop cranking on it and see if you can hear a leak. did you hook up the fuel rail correctly? i ended up poping off that part thats sealed on and it was leakign threw there, and it wouldnt start. idk just get giving here hell. if you end up giving up ill trade ya my stage 2 setup for it it works
