right now my CEL is on and i tried the TEN to GND and nothin (no cel flashing or going off, also disconnected the negative and did the brakes for 20 secs and its still there) ... im running a klze on a k8 ecu with a probinator chip...i have a straight neck i dont know what chip he used since he didnt tell me i could get anything different i figured it was straightforward until after i read theres different things he can do when chipping...anyways im not sure what to do now...i have no idea what the problem is the engine is running a bit rich i believe, going through gas like crazy...i dont know any suggestions?

Did you chip your k834 ecu or did u chip a k801 ecu? You have a 94 GS right?

yea i have a 94 GS but im not sure which ECU i have...how do you tell?

On the top of the ecu there is a sticker. In bold it will say the ecu number.

If you are running the k801 on that car it will act funny as it is meant for a 92-93 car so it can cause issues. Make sure you are running a k834

ok heres the deal...the letters for what ecu it i are all scratched off...but i wrote on it K801 for the engine code so when i sent it to ryan i could identify mine by haveing that written on it...so maybe he thought it was a K801...or what?

There are at least 2 stickers with the code, are they all scratched out?

IDK, that shouldn't be the stock ECU in the car. 94's are equipped with a k834 ecu which has different pinouts then a k801 ecu, hence why you may be having some issues. I had issues when running a kl01 ecu cause it didn't understand the fan functions on my car and the CEL wasnt working

so what ecu should i get? do i need to get a k834 and get that chipped too? is there any other way other than the stickers to tell which ecu it is?...

and yes one stickers gone and the other has no letters or anything on it... just white

when I got my probinator chip I had to use the probe vaf. which air meter are you using?

im still using the K8 vaf

Probinator is suppose to get rid of the VAF restriction

Gods Father · Post by **Gods Father** » February 13th, 2009, 8:29 pm

so i dont need a vaf anymore?

KL48/KL55 ECU (for 1994 mx3) plus KL02 VAF. You're not optimal, but you're safe for a motor's life.
