You need to use the crank sensor and one of the cam sensors.

Lean misfire will cause the HC to go through the roof. Lean will not cause CO to go up (correcting figgies post above). CO goes up when the mixture gets richer. A catalytic converter works great at 2500 and above, assuming the feed gases are close to correct. The piss poor spray pattern...

It looks to me you are running a bit rich and also picking up some tiny misfires (may not even really feel). I don't know what your tune looks like, so it is hard for me to say what is left on the table before a cat needs to be put in. Careful air/fuel tuning (again the engine should run GOOD)...

Passing without a cat may be possible, depending on your states emission levels. I have done it before in certain states. Things to keep in mind. You shouldn't have to "limp" the car around on a fairly clean running map. It should be running smooth, cams and crappy spray pattern injectors...

You technically don't need one, if your tuner has one to use for the tuning process. It is my opinion though, that any car with a programmable tuning device or cars pushing above stock power levels should have a wideband installed. The cost of widebands now leaves absolutely no excuse for not...

I scanned the thread, saw something about drunk jail bait and Duane being a slut. Sounds like a good time, where is the sign up sheet? :biglaugh:

But here is the catch you all expected: Free tune (excluding dyno) with the purchase of an AEM EMS kit (ECU, wideband, sensors) from me. The cost of the kits depends on the year (Mk3 87-88 boxes are on sale right now), but I will meet/beat any legitimate advertised price on the above components...

If your AEM software is installed in the default locations, go to C:\Program Files\AEM\AEMPro\Instructions and select the .pdf that matches your part number. You will find all the pin info a guy could hope to have! :biglaugh:

Charlotte (Underground Racing) but I was talking to Rich a few weeks ago about coming down to Majestic again on the same trip. So yes, highly likely there as well.

LOL April Fools Day is hitting damn early this year.... :biglaugh: There is a simple, foolproof way for anyone to handle a TEC2:

Hey guys, thanks for the warm welcome and letting me have a cool title above my name! :) I do travel anywhere in the world for tuning (including Duane's house). :evil2: Redneck country is also good, will be heading to North Carolina third week in January. PM or email me if you guys have...

You got it! The M110 may prove to be an exception, but there is almost zero info on that particular unit yet. Expect it to be the last M1 series to debut.

I also pass on this information to the best of my knowledge (which can be limited at best sometimes). A lot of information is getting out, but it seems what is out there is generating more questions than answers. It is this I am trying to correct, but keep in mind the "book" on these systems is...

Regarding this statement. This is technically true. But it will neither be easy, nor cheap. It will require an estimated 2+ weeks of training, potential hardware/software investment, and then PASSING the class once you take it in such a manner Motec feels you worthy of being a System Integrator...

The top level programming is available on all the boxes, and I think we can all agree this capability will not come cheap. What most users will end up getting is the mid level "capability" on one of these boxes. Meaning you can load a "package firmware" written/tested/approved/distributed free...
