BLinking CEL under load

Also found it doesn’t have the stock cams. Now we have to figure out what the cams are so I can get a tune with those included.

Stock springs? Tuner shouldn’t have any issues with tuning a set of NSR springs.

Who tuned the car prior to you owning it?

Previous owners and tuner unknown. Of course was lied to about several things when I bought the car. but like I said, I’m the one who bought it so I have to live with it —and try to get it running ok.

Reason for the cel codes . Found low compression on cylinders 1-4. Found timing chain tensioner had stuck, causing chain to skip a tooth. Replaced all chains, gears, and tensioners. No more codes! Except….while in the engine found the heads and cams aren’t stock. Which makes the tune I had done (no cams) basically no good. The engine idle is very lopey, and only idling about 500 rpm. This is causing p3000 and p3014 on startup. So I‘m contacting VMP performance to get another tune (another $600). Oh well..

Glad you found out the issue though man. Luckily she didn’t grenade on you under WOT or something.

VMP was very helpful!
