Hello All,

Tonight I installed the pettit fan switch and performed the "damian boost setup" with the hallman boost controller.


As soon as i started the car it idled like crap and when i tried giving it some gas during a test drive it cut off on me.

I bypassed the wastegate control and left the nipples on the selonid alone, without any caps. Could this be a reason why it idles rough?

I thought leaving the nipples on the solenoid alone would be ok.

Please help. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

btw, my car was running great before the procedure...

 

have you checked the map sensor? make sure thats connected. thats the first step

 

Did you remove your UIM to install the FC fan switch? Did you cover the intake runners so nothing could fall in?

As stated check the line to the MAP sensor. Double check all the connectors... TPS plugged in?

 

I will check the map sensor this morning and let you guys know.

Thank you for your advice

 

What is your vacuum reading at idle?

 

You can't blow your motor with it just idling, I had this same problem when I first put on my boost controller but right now I can't remember how I fixed it, I know that I did leave off a vacuum line somewhere so check everything over.

Just cruisin' through and wanted to point out that your sig definitely is WRONG.

 

Sounds like you left a vacuum line disconected.

 

Negative, this will simply lead to a high idle. Car would still run and drive normally if that was the case (unless it was something like the aforementioned MAP sensor).
