  1. Okay so after a long winter of installing and tuning I have finally got my Quest on the road. Nothing is perfect yet though, on a cold start up it takes 3 tries before it starts right. The first try it dies right out, the second it starts for a couple seconds then dies, and the 3rd usually fires right up and goes into the warm up process.

     

    Would this be my cranking pulsewidths, or ASE? Ive tried tuning both but it still seems to stay the same. It used to do this plus after I was done driving it around it would restart but I was able to get that worked out because it seemed at full operating temp the ASE was too low so I bumped that up and so far it will stop and restart no problem but from a cold start it seems to be having some issues. Has any body experienced this at all or know whats going on here? I appreciate any insight anybody can give on the situation.

     

    Thanks

  2. Hey guys I need the center console for an 86 Chrysler conquest. Lol I leaned on mine a little to hard and a section right next to the ebrake completely snapped off :blush:

     

    Its the console with the two removable dins, one is the tray and the other is the controls for the mirrors. I dont need the mirror controls or tray but will take them if needed.

     

    Thanks

  3. Yeah sorry I should have specified, I bought the car with the FIP setup and then I sent it out to scott to get the MS1 Extra upgrade so that I could control timing and eliminate the vacuum advance.

     

    Also, since I bought the car with the injectors already in I wasnt completely sure about the size but scott mentioned that FIP always came with 75lbs/hr.

     

    You can e-mail me at e3mand@aol.com if thats easier, I check my e-mail all the time.

     

    Thanks for the help man

  4. Okay so this build (86 MPI Conquest) has been a work in progress for a while but I got my self set up with MS1 Extra from FIP and ive been having trouble getting the car to start :angry:

     

    It cranks and gives one good sputter and then wont go any further, it just shuts off. It was recomended that I play with the required fuel because it seemed a bit low (6.6) so I started slowly adjusting it by raising it by small intervals and it was all the same until I got to 8.5 but even then it only idled for about 5 seconds but it was a horrible idle. Almost, sounded like it was firing on one cylinder.

     

    Everything else seems to be in fine order its getting spark the fuel pressure seems good, its at 40psi when its cranking.

     

    At this point im at a loss and cannot figure this thing out. Has anybody experienced anything like this before or know of anybody who has? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Im trying to attach a tune and datalog file along with this but it keeps just saying that there is an error and im not permitted to upload that kind of file (.msq and .xls)

    anybody have any idea how to get around that.

     

    Sorry if I left out any crucial details, just let me know if I did and ill get it up here.

     

    THANKS

  5. It sounds like it's rich as hell. The car won't cold-start like a regular car because there is no idle air control valve. You have to put your foot on the gas a little when you start it and let it run like that for a few minutes, once it warms up it'll idle normally assuming your idle screw is adjusted correctly.

     

    I thought there was no idle screw with MPI.

  6. So ive recently been through a ton of s*** trying to get my quest to run, that I just bought.

     

    First I bought it and the guy said it would need a new tune to run right soooo:

     

    I sent my stuff out to Scott and got everything upgraded (he did an awsome job, and he super helpful!), well I got everything rewired correctly, installed a wideband, and had to switch to a different model tach adapter.

     

    Well, before I got the wideband in, to test the wiring out on the new FIP controller I tried starting her up and she did but just had a really low idle. Decided to get the wideband in before worrying about it so after installing the wideband I tried starting at and at first it wouldnt start. I looked at the wideband and it wasnt even getting power so I looked were the previous owner had the power wire coming up the column wired to and turns out he sent it to a fuse on the fuse panel (which had blown) just for a temp. fix, replaced the fuse and the car then began to try to run but would only stay running for a second or two then die, i tried several times and a couple of the times it sounded like it was only firing 1 cylinder, and then on the final attempt smoke came out of the filter on my turbo inlet.

     

    Also, wen I installed the wideband, i completely disconnected the o2. Is that kosher or am I supposed to keep that hooked up.

     

    Also I tried to take a datalog during all of this but for some reason when I went to look for it, its no where to be found. No im some what concerened about even trying to start it again before I have an idea of what could be going on here.

  7. So Ive been having some fuel pressure issues, when we jumped the guage it read 40 so I tried starting the car and it would start but I would have to give it gas so that it wouldnt die. It eventually idled fine but the pressure gauge was sitting at 29-30. As I would rev or give it gas the pressure would decrease. Now everytime I try to start the car it wont stay running, I have to give it gas or it will jump to 1 then back down to 0 and itll do that 3 or 4 times then die.

     

    Im thinking clogged filter but anybody else ever have this issue.

  8. I got an idea!!

     

    Tell me how this effects you in any way shape or form and tell me why it bothers you that much and ill put it on Ebay

     

     

     

    To everyone else,

     

    I apologize for not noticing the rule about Best Offer, it was ignorant of me :blush:

     

    Didn't see it, i posted it, all it needed was a "look at the rules" not smart a** comments, because lets be serious its stupid to dwell on it.
