    Haltech E11-V2 on 1JZ-GTE

    I've installed an E11-V2 on my 1J from Haltech and was wondering if anyone else has the same setup. I'm wondering what could be the issue I'm running into with tuning? The guy at Haltech said that if the car started and ran then the wiring is correct which it does. But the issue I have is, when...
