As I said in my other response…he’s even going to help me dial-in my “off-idle” issues and square things away for me after another 50 miles or so of the ECU’s “self-learning” regiment! I didn’t get a great answer as to why the MAP Sensor failed…but it was an AC/Delco product, which I’m pretty sure is made in China? My replacement is made in the USA by Delphi, who is the OEM parts supplier for GM now…so that could be the answer? Woody |

Yes…the AC/Delco was pre installed on the throttle body when I received the kit, but I don’t actually know if it would be under warranty? That’s something I’ll look into after the Tech helps me finish with the “Advanced Tuning”…as he’s not the person that would be making that call (but I’ll gather any intel about it along the way!). Nick…Did you ever receive your Pro Flo 4 system, or did you cancel that order? Woody Last edited by Beach-Burban; 11-08-2023 at 08:16 AM. Reason: Added words |

Re: Slow Progress is better than No Progress.
Great to hear that tech support actually provided support. Fingers crossed on the warranty side.

My restoration build is in the final stages of bodywork, of which I've been posting photos and brief commentary in the build section of this forum. Hopefully the engine and efi installation wil commence in a couple of months. Keep us updated on your progress! Nick |

Re: Slow Progress is better than No Progress.
Well, I installed the new MAP Sensor and got the proper readings while connected to the digital gauge screen with the engine off. The engine started right up but ran worse than it had prior to my break-down, however, as I had goofed with the distributor during my time sitting at the curb, the first thing I did when I started it was to return the timing to the required 12 degrees BTDC (as Peter from Edelbrock had instructed me to).
As I dialed-in the timing, the engine ran better and better (in the driveway) but when I actually drove it, it went back to stumbling and popping as before…so I drove about 10 miles then called Peter back instead of driving the entire 50 miles. Peter took me into the “Advanced Tuning” section of the app and told me what initial adjustments to make to the basic Fuel Map. He told me to call him back after another 50 miles…and this time I won’t jump the gun! The off-idle response is significantly improved, as is the acceleration aspects up to around 40 mph. I didn’t take it on the freeway yet, so I only put about 10 more miles on it as a new (minor) issue has developed…it stalled several times when coming to a stop, unless I rolled very lightly to the stop. I might need to raise my idle slightly, or the slight build up of pressure in the gas tank is dropping my fuel pressure. I need to rectify the venting anyway, just to be sure that this isn’t a problem…but it’s apparent that the “self-learning” needs to have time to make adjustments as well as some more tweaking with the help of Peter.

Re: Slow Progress is better than No Progress.
Sounds like progress to me. As they say "It's the journey, not the destination". Good work and thanks for posting, we're all learning along with you.
