here we go

[GO MAN GO]

Well, I got my replacement PC PRO in today. Took it out for a spin and
It seemed to be running great. might have to add just a touch of fuel,
by the way, where do I find the instructions for this unit. WOT A/F was
around high 12 flat 13. buuuuut, I pulled 2 cels...p1102 and p1123
both codes said=(manufacturer control fuel and air metering) ???
I did not find these code numbers on the code list tom posted.

Found these code descriptions on miata.net forum from a 2000 manual.

P1102 MAF sensor inconsistent with TP sensor (Lower than expected)

P1123 TP stuck (higher than expected)

what is the TP sensor?
and what's higher and lower than expected,,,air? fuel? temp?

TPS = Throttle Position Sensor

Jared, instructions are here http://www.fastforwardsuperchargers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=356

I might have the TPS target voltage a little high for the 01-03. Could be it is a bit different from the 04-05. Thanks for the feedback. I will have a spare programmer in a few days and send it to you so we can test some changes. All you need is a laptop and USB port. Other than that, how does it drive? You might need to add fuel with the big pulley you are running. Run the Yellow/Blue and Yellow/Red all the way up (see instructions). If it is still short, add more to the 5th injector (SS). That'll give it a chance to get more cooling. Couldn't do that before as the PC made it too rich. Now you can. Keep it in the 12-13 range.

I'll take you up on the programmer. Thanks.
Car seemed to run a lot smoother and Air/fuel much closer to where I need
to be. Will probably add a touch more fuel though, to be safe.
Nothing but rain here in Wisconsin for the last few days but it could be
worse, say DENVER. Whoaaa.

just for the record,
WMV files cannot be run on a Mac. MPG or mpeg files can be run on both.

in other words, I can not view instruction vids. but text should get me
through.
Thanks,
Jared

Sadly, all I knopw how to use is Windows Movie Maker (and it is free :)). It will ONLY save in WMV format. If there is another program I can use to save in other formats, let me know.

Call me and I can walk you through it. The video only shows the lights. The written description actually tells the tale. To add fuel:

1200-3000 RPM - Green zone
3000-5000 RPM - Yellow Zone
5000-7000 RPM - Red Zone
All zones - Yellow/Blue
Change the slope to add more fuel progressively to 7000 - Red/Blue

Zones are selected with the mode button and adjusted with the +/- buttons

I thought the TPS code went away by themselves, did they come back?

So did I?

Jared, did the CEL return?

Tom, you might want to check out if the programmer software is Mac compatible, or if Jared has a Windows computer to use with the programmer.

Not true. This is like saying that Quicktime movies because of having Macintosh origins can't be run on PC. Quicktime runs on PC and WMV run on Mac.

Just install Microsoft Flip4Mac on your Mac and the WMV files will play just fine:

Well it finally dried up around here, so yesterday I took it out for another
spin. The codes did not return, so maybe I am O.K.? My car is suppose to
be in storage right now, but we have had a couple of dry days and temps
in the 40's so I was able to get the upgrade in and test it out. I might be
able to get out today and give it one last run before putting her to sleep
for the winter. Thanks Tom and forum friends.

Jared,
You CAN play windows media files (.wmv) on your mac if you install a helper. There are two options. The easier is Windows Media Player which will play the target file directly. The other is Flip4Mac_WMV which adds a helper to play the target file in Quicktime. I have posted the following links to the URLs thru VersionTracker.

If you need any help with these, feel free to call me at (714.227.3142). Regards, Mike.

Thanks guys, last time I checked there were no options for wmv's on
the mac. I'll give it a try.

Thanks again,
Jared.
