1990timeismoney Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Hi all.I’ve just brought a Aem wideband brand new from aem.i was having fuelling problems so brought this to help.First of my walbro fuel pump wines but only when engines on i no its normal noise but i thought it also would wine when the key is in the on position to build pressure.When it idles its at 14.7 but when i turn my lights on it goes to 16.2.I then go to accelerate and the gauge goes to red. I’ve set the fuel pressure to 3 bar with vacuum line off and running 0.7 bar on td04 turbo setup.If anyone has any information or help on how to fix or what’s wrong it would be much appreciated.Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

1990timeismoney Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 havnt had a chance to boost yet because as soon as you accelerate it runs full lean.i assume van line of is the way to set pressure.i wasn't sure if fuel pump had gone Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Weyro Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 What rpm are you accelerating from? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

1990timeismoney Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 its from when you accelerate pretty much Quote Link to post Share on other sites
smobey_sutton2 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Just take it somewhere that know what they're doing and get it sorted before you go and damage your engine if your worried! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AdamB Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Is it under full throttle acceleration? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1990timeismoney Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 no mate just light acceleration and goes to red around 16:2 on i just can't work out why it drops when i accelerate but its ok on idle Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starletburkie Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 u sure your gauge is ok and set up right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1990timeismoney Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 i brought it straight from aem is there any parts of th gauge that need to be adjusted I've got the sensor in correct place etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starletburkie Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 ok well up the pressure and see how that goes, dont matter if the vac line is on or off tbh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1990timeismoney Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 i set the pressure higher and still the same engine management light has come back on knock sensor issue.Ive also set the calibration dial on the aem gauge to p4 and still the same,Was hoping to get it mapped next weekend by TD but as i cant even get it to run rite looks like it could be next year at this rate.
