Quick tutorial on installing a fuel pressure sending unit and logging fuel pressure in EFILive.

Do you know I still haven't got around to doing this :rolleyes:

I couldn't get it to open up. I also tried saving with no luck.

Link and document are OK for me (as a cross check).

Nice writeup... :cheers:

I can't open the downloaded version either.

Tordne, can you host it for me?

Yup. I'll download, upload and then edit your post with the URL ;)


OK

TTT - Link updated.

thanks buddy

Awesome, it's been raining alot here lately;)

same here. I've got almost all my new gadgets hooked up now.

I can't decide whether to wire to FlashScan or to the EGR system :help2:

example of what can you achieve with FP logging:

Nice one dude. A convert to efilive too by the looks :D

Great write up Marcin!

I was looking over the files you sent Friday and was close to asking for a lot of the explainations you provided in the blog.

Good luck on your thesis. I'll try to hold off on the tarded questions while I apply your findings to my tune.

Just following this guide with a few alterations (didn't get the harness, was provided with a 3 wire hand made version). All has gone well. Yet to test it out, that is tomorrow job.

Am worried as the sensor is a lot longer than the bung out of my Aeromotive regulator so don't want to wind it in too far and damage the reg. Also assume I'm going to have to go find some tape to seal it up like was on the original bung.

I don't think you want to use tape on the fuel system. I believe liquid sealant is what you want to use.

Got pic of your install?

Was thinking of doing pics but my PCM isn't in the factory location so didn't worry too much, and it was dark :) Will pull the camera out this afternoon after work and take a few.

got the sender mounted yesterday and went to plug it in. As soon as you plug it in and go to turn the key on the PCM throws a error code saying the TP Sensor is low voltage. Tried to start the car and it ran like a pig.

Have followed the guide and connected to EGR. Have enabled EGR in the tune and confirmed I get 5V to the plug. PCM is a 1999+ in a Holden Commodore.

Has anyone else successfully connected using the EGR method in a Holden Commodore?

I have.. Did it some weeks back.

Andrew, can you send me some contact details so I can have a chat?

Have checked and am using the correct pins as described in the tutorial but as soon as I plug into the FP sensor I get a DTC error code thrown relating to low voltage on the TP (Throttle Position) sensor.

Did you tap in on the blue connector or the red? Should be Blue, unless your PCM is different from the 99's here in the US.

Yep, all 3 wires were tapped into the blue connector

Hello all,
I am just about done with my FPSU project. I am using an Autometer 2246 just like in the tutorial. I am using the EGR connection right by the oil cap on the passengers side (fbody). I got the wrong autometer pig tail connector for the sending unit. I did notice that it (the sending unit) is exactly like an ECT sensor plug. I have an extra ECT sensor pigtail but I don't have the sending unit's pinout. All the tutorial says is
Red = 5vdc
Black = grnd
ppl = 0-5v sig

This is fine if you have the orignal autometer connector. If anybody can help tonight it would be great. I am loading up the trailer for the track tommorrow and would love to have some track FP data to log.
TIA

The the pins facing towards you:
Red is top left
Black is top right
Purple is center bottom

Thanks Tordne. I was just scratching my head trying to figure out what I could do to help the Doc.

I sent a couple of pics as well :)

Update: Works good, lasts longtime!

Did it change the IFR angle for you as well?

Am going to be flying out to Sydney shortly but I'll have to catch up with you next week Tordne to sort it out.

Cool mate, have a safe trip.

Have fun in Sydney... :cheers:

the link up top is dead, please fix it

The tutorial is actually included in the installed software. But I'll update the link as well.

Has anyone installed this sender and checked their fuel pressure? Does it have to be this exact sender? I was thinking about adding this to my car.

Thanks,
Bill

I have and it works as advertised. I suppose you could use any 0-5vdc pressure sensor with the proper range. The autometer isn't expensive though.

It is like $140 at summit for the harness and sensor.

Don't bother with the pigtail. Just goto your dealer and get a 98 ECT sensor pigtail. You don't need the length of the autometer harness- well you should'nt if you are planning on using the existing EGR wiring.
