Regardless of whether it's their own fault or not,
And there you have it. They have a problem, do not know what it is and then try to tune around it. So what you are saying is they can live with the problem better with a MAP, if they do not want to fix there car right. That sound like a great idea for getting the most out of a car.

Get off of your high horse and look at the people who are doing it right.
Get off YOUR high horse and realize that more often then not, people that get the MPI Tuner on here run into tuning issues that they never figure out how to fix.

Haven't fooled with it yet. Been busy with crap. But, I have almost 800 miles on the new pistons. :)
 
yep this is going to come in handy.. dropped the oil pan today and found metal pieces and it smelt like fuel!!! yay... not really. Sucks. I need to find someone to let me borrow thier compression tester see what ive got.

Still do not know where you are going with this.

If you are saying people have problems with their cars with or without the MPI Tuner, yes you are right. If you are saying that some people with the MPI Tuner are having problems tuning because they do not know what the problem is with their car, yes you are right again. If you are saying that some people just do not know what they are doing with or without the MPI Tuner, yes you are very very right.

So yes you do prove my point that you need to make sure that your car is 100% right before you try to tune with the MPI Tuner. You should never try to tune around any problem, it only makes things worse.

Take Pat for one. He has been chasing a problem for almost a year now. Long before the MPI Tuner was ever in his car. My advice to Pat has been to check for problems, maf, leaks, O2, clean injectors. Your advice was to install a MAP. Guess what, the problem is still there. The MAP did not fix the car, becuase it was not a MPI Tuner problem. I know that this my trouble you because for what ever reason you no longer like the MPI Tuner and need to take shots at it when ever you can. The problem is you do not understand that you need to have the car running 100% before hand. Now I have talked to Pat many times. He is very slowly trying to get to his car in order to see what is wrong so he then can check things out and fix it. The wheels of time seem to not work as fast in Texas as we all would like them to be[hint].

Let me know when you car is ready. I would like to go the the dyno and see it in action.

Don't bother, you're taking apart the motor either way.

Most of the people I see don't have problems until they start using the MPI Tuner. Then they can't get it working right. Then they move onto another EMS and all of a sudden these "incompetent" people have a car that runs fine.

He said the car ran tons better with the MAP than it did without it. He even started a thread about it. What's his problem now?

Who said I didn't like the MPI? Not me. I'm still running it and have no plans of getting rid of it. It's YOU who always takes shots at ME because of how I use it.

Sure thing.

Name one person, who replaced the MPI with another system and had it running right?

He said it ran better for about a week. Then the same problem came back. The same problem he had before the MPI Tuner was on his car. He even has a thread on it.

I don't want to name names and end up causing drama. Just know that a few of them exsist.

You are full of crap. You are one -ucked up person. I do not know what your deal is and now I do not give a s*** anymore. You do not know how to tune with the MAF so you make a statement on what can or cannot be done.

Read this very well. Many people are tuning the way it should be and they have no problems. For the very small amount of people who have had problems, it has always been a problem with their car.

Do not post bull s*** and not back it up. What kind of mod are you? You should be removed as a mod. You failed the test many times over. Your madness must end.

Well im gonna go out on a limb and say he is not giving you customer service. I as well can think of several people but thier afraid of you, nobody wants to cross path with you when the mpi has a problem.


oh and on a seperate note pats car was still bucking and kicking all over the place before he ran into a giant thing of water... but you can still point at that for all i care.

Add me to that list...mine is running great, MAF setup.

people, remember 1 thing. If you have a bad O2 sensor, you will run into problems. If any EMS is using an O2 sensor for tunning, and its bad... Its going to run into problems.

i agree! you must always make sure you dont have ANY issues before you go any further with mods. so far we have what? TWO people..... any more people care to speak up?

btw, WHY IN HELL whould you be afraid of nick?
 
There are a lot of people running the MPI and running it well. What point are you trying to make here? Do you have an MPI ??

i would say afraid is prob a bad word, but thier so afraid to say anything because he makes them ethier look like idiots or gets into these big arguments. Then if you annoy him he doesnt want to deal with you anymore.

Here is another perfectly helpful thread that is now starting to fill with BS... if your gonna argure them same s*** just make your own thread and defend your wonderful god like mpi tuner.

I believe it goes a little deeper than what you see on the surface. People post about having problems, yet when they find out that in fact it wasn't the EMS, but rather something on the car, they don't bother to fess up to it.

They tell other people but don't post about it. You should always hear both sides of the story.

And yes I had my fair share of problems, but I made damn sure my car was working right before I blamed anyone.

It's threads like this or any other thread bashing another product, that makes me just want to give up on this site completely.
 
I don't have any problems with the MPI. My problem was with an incorrect reading MAF. I love my MPI.
 
Focus, I dont know you but, very much thanks...

I was just going to continue the flame, but you got it.

Its wrong to pin point other people without knowing what they are doing. I myslef was the whole problem of the MPI. I wired it wrong, but never pointed fingers to anyone.

With the MPI tunner, yes, I blew 1 whole engine. MY FAULT I didnt know how tu tune it well but then I wanted to go 11-12psi.

Watch me now, Im running 11psi no problems so far, ocasionally 12 and up to 14psi, where I believe, mechanical limits will come into an issue.
