No work at all on it over the winter?

Maybe a little but nothing major. Anything that has to do with running it will have to wait since i don't wanna drive it in the winter and its cold as hell already. Might clean up some odds and ends. Got a power steering delete to put on and the wide band gauge panel to install.

My m20 has the same lope, but yours is a bit deeper growl. Mine started after I ditched the cat and ran straight pipes to various muffler ends. I currently have a stock ansa muffler on it. It sounded better than the 2 various flowmaster series I ran back in the day. Mine does run rich but i think its due to a crappy aftermarket o2 that has died and the straight pipes.

Pretty much what mine is. Straight pipe to a Vibrant muffler. I just got the AEM wideband installed and o2 welded in. That lope was in open loop with no o2 at all. Since its winter i wont get to really mess with it much but in the spring i will. Just gonna have to make a trip out there to get car off its wheels so tires don't go flat and bad. Should probably take off the spoiler too.

If anything it was the ecu learning because of the chip or because of the chip and lack of o2 sensor. There is nothing that could cause it to idle bad otherwise everything has be replaced and the afm,icv have been cleaned and tested as well as the tps its been tested and adjusted. When I drove it ran flawlessly aside from not charging but that's fixed now.

Keep up the good work

What sticker is that on the rear window? Such a clean car and then that....

Where are you mounting that guage? Just to troubleshoot ?

Yes I'm mounting the gauge just waiting for the panel from Jaywood to get here.

Not sure what sticker? The bimmerheads? Or ground control? Ground control is gonna get taken off eventually i stuck it on to see if i like and es no Bueno

yes, the AEM wideband gauge outputs a narrowband signal. you tie it into the signal input of your factory harness.

Shweet now to pull up my diagrams. Im assuming it would just splice it into the signal wire at the engine harness plug or can i do it up by the dme to make it cleaner?

dang, just went thru this whole thread. the hard work really paid off. in for more updates.

Thank you.


I finally picked up my AEM Wideband just need to get it installed. Im going to out that and a regular o2 sensor in the car to get it run correctly. I have heard i can make my AEM gauge read narrowband by switching it to P4 but then i would still be running open loop on my engine harness unless i found a way to splice in the signal wire for the dme to the signal wire for the wideband?

I agree,,,,,,, if the Duration is 304° or something like that,, it would sound like this i think

Fixed my charging issue. The 3 pin plug for the exciter wire was not connected all the way. Once I'm less broke the car will get licensed and be ready for driving. To bad its October and gonna be put up for winter at the end of the month. Believe I have finally fixed everything that could need fixed and this long drawn out project is finally nearing an end
