VAF 100%

Post by nolig2278 »

i am always slightly having to adjust my vaf, one way or the other
but for a few weeks i have left it alone
today
it locked up on me while accelerating and stayed at or too close to 100% Arrflow which prevented me from giving gas.
do i just need to adjust this CW?
Should i just bite the bullet ad buy a MegaSquirt?

Scary as hell when you need to give gas but then it hits the fuel cut off.


Thanks

Adjusting the VAF???? Are you talking about the JE50? Is the unit dirty?

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Dan- The four banger units can be "adjusted" if you know what you are doing. I would get a new VAF if that one is giving you so much trouble. It is alot more trouble and expense to get a MSnS and instal it...
But if you have a BP-t or BPT then the MSnS will be a good HP investment and much more worthwhile.

I do have a bpt.
i think it turns out that my safc has a poor connection to stock ecu so i tied it down a little and that might have resolved the issue.
the safc might have been shorting out a little.

does anyone know if the fuel relay near the stock ecu should get hot?

thanks
