    Default reduced engine power after 3bar install

    Wondering if anyone can help me out here,
    I have had this car tuned with a maf for some time without a problem(1514 values raised to 1200) after installing the 3 bar map set up everything is fine untill I hit boost. I then raised the values to max,(4580) just to see, but it still goes into reduced engine power. Any tips??

    Thanks

    I have a feeling you need to go higher in the C6101 table.

    Cheers,

    Make sure that there are no codes present. Verify that you have set correctly the scalar on the map sensor. If you get any single problem from any map calculation it will set the reduced engine power.

    Raising the 6101 table so it is higher then the predicted airflow usually solves this problem.

    Highlander, thanks for responding.
    I thought I had this taken care of but once I went to the track it went back to reduced engine power again setting a P0068

    I have the C6101 table maxed to 4095.9 across the board, so I guess I must be doing something incorrect for the map calculation.

    The predicted map max is all at 105 (C3003) Minimum is set at 0 accross the board.

    I have switched to a two bar map to give that a try and changed my map scaler (C6301) to 190, C6302 map sensor offset is at 10.3 Rationality tests are 600 &400 for high and low.

    When I used the three bar sensor I had it set at 288

    any info would be great! thanks in advance.

    I do get a 102 code that is turned off, but I do not think that is it. Of course I still have the problem so....

    You will have the 103 and sometimes 102 codes present. that is necessary for the Speed density...

    You should get some codes when the reduced engine power appears. You might be getting a p0106 which is a map sensor codes.. please resport the codes you get.
