Thanks i checked and all settings are 1x5, 2x5, 3x5, 4x5, 5x5, i think maybe the fueling settings are not working,i have 12 volts key on at tap and im using the stealth cover, i got 12 volts then turned it a little more according to instructions. Weird though when i was putting the cover on you can see no wire that it taps, must just go through the gel. I wonder if the wire would be more defined and sure of tap.

Stealth plate is fine if 12V is seen. You might grab a live data tool and see if the MAP sensor reporting a valid pressures. If the MAP sensor is overboosting (boost fooler is bad) it will do the same thing as a weak connection.

Great point i thought that while seeing bad results on scanner as well as scangauge, so i purchased a new map sensor and readings are stable, will the comp work without the map sensor part connected, just to see if it fuels?

Ok guys, just found this thread and have a question. I just replaced my VP-44 and it was not that hard, but had new injectors in hand at the same time and after looking at what it would take to get to the injector lines for the back two cylinders, I put it back together without doing the injectors.How in the world do you guys get to the stuff on the back two cylinders??? Thx, FT

You must remove the engine lift ring, then you can use a open end to break the lines loose, then i used a stubby wrench to finish removing them. i also take the 2 wire bulk heads off their hangers and move them aside.My first time took 2 hours, and that's with a couple back rest breaks. Also loosen the blue hold downs on the lines, and that makes moving the lines easier.

Last ones was actually getting one of the connection tubes out ... Funny ( link above )

4 hours is my best .... Always have a couple small issues ...

We did it a lot faster than 4 hours!

true - but you were directing and slapping me to speed it up for dinner Since then I either have problems wtih the back of the VP44 (need a stubbier wrench) or with the connection tubes (couldnt get one out and took me forever and stripped all the threads) ... or leaks post button up .... Went with teh appraoch of not removingh lines from abck of VP44 .... probably quicker - but not easier as its tight clearance especially on #3 if changing connector o-rings also

Now that's funny... :lmao::lmao2:

But ISX is a good teacher and mechanic of the group.

24V injectors take a bit of time to do correctly but there is a lot of short cuts that gain time.
