Ok well I just got in my new pmas 80mm mass air and love the way it looks. Ok I have it installed on the car right now and it feels pretty good. The question I have is should I disconnect the battery so the computer will reset and help with the install on the new mass air? If so does it matter which side I take off?
Yes ... doing a pcm reset would be a good thing to do
About the battery cable disco thing ........
No ... technically it makes no never-mind which side you disco
however
Its safer to disco the neg side first to prevent the event that .........
makes you piss in your britches
You can do a fast & nasty pcm reset with these steps ...........
1) disco the neg batt cable
2) turn on the head lights for about 5 to 10 seconds
3) turn off the head lights
4) reconnect the cable
You are all good to go
Nothing wrong with the 20 to 30 min method as well
I have also had a custom dyno tuned diablo chip burned for my computer, If I disconnect the battery it wont mess everything up will it? I mean the computer will still remember the tune that it had right?
Everything will be cool and nothing is gonna blow up
The reason why I am asking is because when I got my car dyno tuned it had the factory mass air meter sensor which is calibrated for 19lb injectors right.
Wrong ... Factory Ford OEM mafs are NOT caled for any particular size of inj's. Mafs caled for a certain size inj is a method used by aftermarket maf manufactures.
This info is given just to keep things accurate
and
for this thread ...... we really don't need to go there
You are correct ... the stock maf, pcm, and 19lb inj's are setup to work together.
Well I had put in bigger 24lb injectors since my rebuild and didn't know that I had done this bad thing
I looked at your combo ... thanks for the sig you provided
... and I see your moving to larger inj's as a
good thing
and my tuner tuned every thing as if it was all 19lb stuff so that is why I am asking if I should disconnect the battery to reset the computer. Thanks for the help.
I just could not comment about this part as I have no idea what he did or did not do
Look at my sig
Notice I was running 30's and the oem stock maf
When you can talk to the pcm ......
you have more .......... lots more options
Maybe that will give you some kind of idea about us not knowing what he could have done
Again ... Yes ... Reset the pcm
