Fuel cut going off and on at idle, ELD code 20 going off/on

Post by combz »

Background. I had a gt28r turbo setup last year, with vitara pistons and eagle rods. This year the things i changed were: -gt3076r -ramhorn -3\"downpipe -b16 throttle body -new obd1 IAT sensor(with xenocron flange in charge pipe) -new rad and slim fan -new vitara pistons, and FJ i beam rods I tried to start my car and run it for the first time this year, on my old tune, which idle'd fine before i took it all apart. I always had issues with Code 20 (Electrical load detector) comming on, or flashing but not staying on. And this year, i uploaded old tune from ostrich, and started car, and it bounced on idle. Tried giving it some gas and it would stead the idle out when i let off sometimes. the fuel cut light is flashing on ectune every 2-3 seconds the MIL is switching from On to off (which i think is a bug too..ECtune says MIL on, but its off on the light, then when the light goes on my dash, ectune says MIL off, strange ..anyways) the mil code is code 20. my eld voltage is always 5.0 volts. Can i disable this some how? other then that...i took it for a first drive, and the car drove like a champ.. 11.5 constant AFR, and pulled like a train at 8psi compared to last year. Any ideas from anyone? i took a log on my laptop, i'll post it in a few minutes.

i guess i only took this one log last night...it only shows fuel cut going off/on it does not show mil going off on though. also another note.. with KOEO eld code 20 goes on and off too...i can hear what sounds like my ostrich tripping on and off, but perhaps it is something else down near my ecu. do i need to attach my tune? for you to see the log? i just dont see what my afr would be rediculously off from last year too...unless some of the changes in the ectune code affected it...because it said when i loaded my tune off my ostreich (which i have not touched since3 last august) that it was made on older version.

tune was not touched since last august, thats how long my car has been apart. i suppose i can start a new cal, but for engine break in i needed to use something that i knew i could drive with no issues. But i have a strong feeling the code 20 problem will persist

due to the rom change you can have these problems. Send me the orginal cal so i can see with which rom it was made.

file sent.. keep in mind this is the one that was on my ostrich not changed or used since last year. i had to drastically change the fuel values at idle, currently on this cal, it was really lean..like not even registering. even though i have the same injectors, and battery..

It was on your emulator if you do get rom. look in the status bar and tell me the version of the rom.

The 3 short cel flashes tells you what version of ectune you have, it's normal.
