do any of you guys use ems stinger?

have you had any probelms?

i think my ems, is causing probelms for my car. i dont think if it's the stinger, but i've been having some trouble with my cold start.

it seems like when it's cold, the car runs rough, but once it warms up, it runs a whole lot smoother.

the spark plugs also always foul up.

do any of you guys have a stinger and have the same probelm?

i might be thinking of buying a new computer if i'm sure the probelms are from the ems stinger.

I have a Stinger.

Is yours in stand alone or piggy back mode ?? Mine is in piggyback mode with the std ECU - no problems with cold start.

It idles a bit higher than normal and fuel economy is ordinary (300kms per tank)

I did have a problem with the igniters and the EMS - EMS had to come out and modify the unit before the car would start.

However, all that said - my engine lost two cylinders a while ago. I don't know if was anything to do with the Stinger, but I don't trust it any more - So I'll be getting another ECU after the rebuild.

Dunno of that helps, but thoght I'd convery my experiences.

Cheers,

      Low oil pressure after WOT

      Yeah so N1 and any other larger than factory pump are pretty famous for pumping the sump dry...obviously we don't often get to spend 20 or 30 seconds at high rpm/full noise on the road so I'd still be suspicious that is what is happening here.

      You are also getting pressure dips on gear shifts. They're just not dipping as far, but they're dipping quite below the amount of oil pressure you should be seeing, for how much RPM drops.   It quite little could be the oil pressure relief valve is starting to stick open a little/is slow to close.

      Can you log battery voltage, and TPS, and put all four of those into a single image (even as split graphs)?   The oil pressure drops aren't following RPM as such. I'm intrigued if you may have a ground loop between different sensors. With the engine not running, log your sensors and for example cycle the throttle pedal. See if any sensor values flutter or move about. This won't be a perfect test either as the ECU won't be cycling all of its actuators like it would be while running. What EMTRON do you have? Do you have a link to the wiring guide for that ECU?

      What logic functions do you feel are missing from the Haltech that others have? Is there a limit to how much logic you can string together? By limit, I mean it's like only a single level or two levels of Boolean logic. Realistically, AND, OR, and NOT, is really the only logic you need and realistically, you can also do away with another logic gate of the three above . With those three you can build the full functionality of any Boolean logic you want.

      Well that rules out the relocation theory, however with no load, you're still getting 1.5bar of oil pressure. Can you present that data in a scatter graph over longer period? Would really highly the anomalies. Wish Haltech could do that.
