Accessport says my Massachusetts car is the Cali model?

i feel like the ap's r sayin cali for everyones car.. did for mine to.. anyone put a map on theri car without a fuel pump nd have the car still not running 100% nd still hitting fuelcut sumtimes???

yes sir. the stage 2 map i hit a wall at 2500 rpm. with the stage 1 map just for the higher boost i get 500 rpms of fuel pressure loss. it goes from 1600-1700 to 700 psi then ramps back up again at around 4800-5000 rpms.
 
yez i never thought of that.....what woul dbe the effects of running a federal map on a cali car? better performance? lol. or are there certain parts in place to change the emissions? because if you think of it...your changing the map all together anyway. technically you would just be ******* your states emissions laws correct?
 
For my car, it wouldn't download the Federal map on my AP, so we did the Cali map, and then we realized that the car was a Cali model.

i ran the map again last night and i threw a random misfire code with a huuuug efuel pressure loss. bnot a brick wall anymore. im not sure what happened with the brick wall effect but now it does the correct thing.....stutter like a mother f and misfire. thanks bad fuel pump!
 
So it seems that if a given state has adopted "California" regulations then the AP will recognize that car as a California and not a Federal car. So if you are in a "SMOG" state, then you will more than likely have a "Cali" car and should run those maps.

That mean you are running a federal map with a cali car?

I think it would be opposite? It said CA on the AP, yet the car was purchased in MA. However, with the strict MA regs it could be a CA emissions vehicle, never bothered to check.

I've had it hooked up for maybe two weeks now & haven't noticed any issues. I have noticed more boost above 5500rpm, in 1st & 2nd, & slightly better mpg.

No complaints now, we'll see what happens in a few weeks when the mods go on.
