Hello, wanted to know if when the battery is taken out or a engine rebuild happens does the MPI tuner reset the maps or does it remember them? I am currently having my engine upgrades and wanted to know if this happens, then i know if i need to get the car retuned.

It remembers the maps, if you have a laptop you should save your maps to your hard drive.
 
Mike2227 yeah that was my concern, i bought the car already installed with the mpi tuner on it, and the software cd was not with the car. My concern was that on my car there is an extra two injectors that are welded into my intercooler i didn't want to have fuel problems after my motor rebuild. But if it remembers the maps then i should be fine with leaving the injectors active after the rebuild. I spoke with Nick who told me if i wanted to just disengage the two injectors and I would be basically running off the stock map. Do you know where I can pick up the software disc, or know if anyone will burn me a copy. I plan to have my car road tuned by Nick once that engine is broken into, and see if he can save me a copy of the map on disc. Any other suggestions on what i should do.

What kind of fuel problems do you think that you will have?Are you having Nick rebuild your motor?if so just take your laptop to Nick and im sure he could download the software on to it, and once its on you computer you really dont need the CD anymore.If he cant then i could burn you a copy of my CD as long as you pay for the shipping.
 
mike2227 Well my only worry is that i will run to rich with my fuel. Nothing to major just don't want to flood out my engine. No Nick isn't the one rebuilding my motor a shop up north jersey is. I didn't know about Nick's shop until after i had these other shops do my rebuild. I'll bring my laptop with me and ask him before hand about that software and see what hes says, if hes not willing to or for what ever other reasons, I'll def take you up on the offer for the software. I appreciate you offering and paying for shipping would be no problem. I just don't want be stuck without having the capability of re programing my map if something where to reset it.

How come your rebuilding the motor?Also do you have an A/f gauge? If you do i would keep the injectors plugged in and see how it runs and if its too rich do as nick said and unplug them and run off the stock map.
 
wanted to get forged internals with extra insurance money, I have an air fuel ratio gauge. Thats not a bad idea just to regulate it first then pull the injectors if i need to. I was told by Nick to drive it 200 miles or so, break in the motor and make sure the car is not having any other problems. So hopefully i'll get the car back soon so i can do all this.

Mike did ever go to Nick to get your car tuned? Where up by you do you get your car tuned?
I did get my car tuned by nick and it ran like crap.I had a lot of issues the way nick had it setup using the turbo module.I went down to speedcircuit and dana rewired the mpi and runs so good now.I tune the car myself,I have my friend drive while im on the laptop.
 
and when your car ran like s*** did you get the list of parts that you should replace because it's not the mpi's fault

All i needed was a better brand of fuel injection cleaner:bs:
 
Bamflee84 really though, take it from me and many others talk to KOOLDINO he will get your car to run like it should
 
what's really ****** up is that there's people on this forum that can install and tune the mpi running analog. god bless them but at the same time they even scratch their heads and say wtf are all these people having problems who go to mp.

it's funny but not at the time when someone just shelled out hundreds, sometimes thousands of dollars and has a bad running car to show for it. then you're put on this wild goose chase trying to find problems that don't exist.

"I've been doing this for 15 years!" jeeez, how many times was I reminded of that s***.
