LOL. I missed that, too, honestly. The suggestion to replace sensors and remove/disconnect hard wired components still make sense, though.

What sort of electronic add-ons have you done? Did you end up tapping any existing wiring, or were new power/ground circuits run for any aftermarket wiring?

if ajp is right and the wires got pinched or pulled on the down pipes ,the stft and ltft will default to the working sensor.
thats why they are copies of each other; it throws code because afr isn't reading right

the sensors are perfect-the wires are perfect- there are no leaks anywhere.
im just buying a sensor to test the mechanical theory i stated on page one
i have only a radar detector installed professionally by the stereo-shop - i doubt it has any interference with the car and  can be unplugged to prove this theory.
ill look at post from AJP to try to fix this issue as well.

car wot is set for .80 Target but third gear starts going .90-100 even though ive commanded not to lean out???

This is where i got the info from....so i dont think i missed anything ...dont you remember what you posted? I did

Did you look up what the code means that you threw?..doesnt have to do with afr it has to do with wiring.

Professional stereo shops do bonehead things all the time same as dealership mechanics that you pay 90$/hr for

Sometimes they grab power from the easiest and first thing they can

Touché. I didn't remember what he posted. :)  I've been trying to read more posts, and now I seem to forget things as soon as I read them or they all blend together.

Brad, I bet if you went into the food service industry, you'd be like one of those waiters that can take an order from a party of 20, never write any of it down, and still get everything right. Except, I still don't live in Utah. LOL

Ain't that the truth. In my past life, I did low voltage system and wire harness design for off highway construction equipment. Nowadays, I wouldn't even let someone rewire my toaster. Haha

I still remember, probably 16 years ago now, I went into Best Buy to get some bass blockers for some 3.5" car speakers, and they sent me back to the install bay to get them. When I got back there, nobody was in the shop. I went out the back door as one of the "professionals" took off like a bat out of hell down the back alley in a customer's Corvette while a couple other guys watched.

On second thought, maybe they were being thorough and were data logging some WOT runs to make sure the radar they installed wasn't causing any problems. ;) j/k

Yeah even people that are so called professionals are just doing what they have to until 5:00 then its time to go home

Yeah i dont know why i kept thinking Utah lol i got flooded with people from Utah Colorado and Wyoming and some had the same names....im always trying to correlate forum avatars to people's names
 
I say burn the f!cking thing to ground and call insurance... Say that stupid radar detector shorted... Get a new SHO... Problem fixed..

here is the log - stock reading
exactly what i posted its right there /\
even the file says stock - we are beyond that now

your a great help and resource, but seem quick to judge

He is actually quite reformed at this point....

You should search his older responses...

Although I am sure if you keep poking the bear he will return to form in no time...

i like him! im not poking him-
i called him first to tune for me- you know close to home - we spoke
i wanted alky - he didnt go that route- i respected it - i never called him anything  or spoke bad about him
 
Your posts are hard to read sometimes....but doesn't seem like there is much difference to how your car runs stock or tuned...you also said bank 2 didnt read right when tuned.

All good id say try replacing that 02 that isnt reading and disconnecting those hardwired devices and see if that dtc comes back and logs look better
 
FoMoCoSHO said:
Can you switch the 02 and see if the problem follows?
yes - im going to try this

so i get the right one:
the front 02 sensor ,the one that the wire is routed to the cooling fans shroud to lock in place-
is that bank 2 ?if so that is sensor one bank 2

since that side of the block(front of car) is shorter looking in from the passenger side of car view?im guessing it is but not sure.

 
new sensor in bank 2 sensor 1- reading normal again

has anybody had  3 inch unleashed down pipes trouble?
the bank 2 pipe has the sensor very close if not almost touching the oil cooler and i thought it should have been moved over to clear when we installed but since it finally went i didn't think too much of it.
well somehow the sensor metal body was bent- not sure if we did it on install or motor mounts finished it off but fucking bent!

also
the bank 2 sensor 2 is rubbing the engine cover
i think this pipe (although well made) has fitment issues for both sensors

pis of my rant and clearance so you dont make the same mistake or if you need help choosing whos down pipes to buy
 
That sensor looks almost as bad as the wideband I installed incorrectly in my 03 mustang and took out on a driveway, except it was bent completely onto itself. One of my widebands has a slight dent in it, but does not cause issue thankfully.

Atleast no issue that I have seen.

As for the oil cooler location, you definitely want it to have ample clearance with regards to engine movement. To be honest, I would either have a new bung welded, or swap to a different brand of downpipe.

I wonder if the 3" downpipes even do much for you compared to a 2.5" PPE or Stainless Works? I think unleashed only sold a few sets and then stopped,

Here is a thread on them that I could find, seems others had a few issues as well: http://www.ecoboostperformanceforum.com/index.php?topic=4701.0
 
if i monitor another issue the pipe will just get 2 re positioned bungs welded and 2 plugs in the old holes to correct fitment.which can be done on the car luckily.

- again they are really well made and welded: everything bolts up perfect-
im leaving (i could of over forced that s***) on the table till i can prove otherwise
 
reset the kam
things look normal so far after a couple days-all o2s good
may try to flash car today

has anyone tried to pull a fuse/clip like the rs to make the car fwd so you can dyno?

seems like it could work maybe
