I sprayed nitrous for the first time today.
When im in 4th gear *automatic ex*.. and im passing around 5k rpms.. My check engine light comes on..

I was likw WTF, Deaccelerated and shut the nitrous off, a couple of blinks later, My Check enige light turns off.. It just blinks for awhile.. *after i turn the nitrous off*

WTF is wrong?

Did it start flashing right away? If the CE light flashes, it's usually a sign that the ECU has detected something seriously wrong, like a misfire. The only way to know for sure is to pull the code.

How lean were you running at the time?

what type/brand of kit do you have?

 

[Show0ff]

could be yer tranny.... my check engine light stayed on after i fucked my tranny up...

I have a ZEX kit.. set at 55 shots of nitrous

Im running ngk bkr6e plugs.. * 1 degree colder then stock?*

Im running 91 octane..

I ran nitrous through 1st-2nd-3rd gear..

Rite when it shifted into 4th.. it was still fine.. Rite When it hit around 5krpms.. The Check engine Light came on.. and I got scared.. I let go of the gas* deactivate Nitrous* and flipped my switch off.. Then after a couple flashes.. The check engine light went off.. and Ive been fine since

I seriously Think its the Knock senor that went off, Saying im 2 lean at 4th gear.. or something..

What should i do?

 

[RidinLow]

Only one thing you can do. Get the CEL scanned to figure out what it is, and if it is a lean run condition, get some gauges and an AFC to fix it before you blow up your motor.

If im running 2 lean..

Cant i just get a

AEM fuel pressure regulator?
Walbro Fuel Pump
B&M fuel pressure gauge?

I was already planning on getthing that set up.. What u think?

 

[RidinLow]

Yeah, but you need some way of monitoring exactly how rich or lean you're running. Also, the FPR will richen or lean the mixture the same all across the board, whereas an AFC or some equivalent fuel computer will allow you to fine tune different spots in the rev range that are giving you problems.

For example, if you're running lean only at 5000 rpm, if you increase the fuel via a FPR to fix that, you'll be running rich everywhere else now.

You only need the fuel pump & stuff after you're making so much power that the stock pump & injectors can't supply enough fuel at all. A 55 shot should be within the limits of the factory part.

Go find someone with an OBD2 scanner & scan that code!

I hope I understand your post, Okay my first statement is that if you were actually in 4th gear in your automatic (only has 4 gears) and you were at 5000 rpm you would be going over 120 mph. From what I hear about nitrous and 5 speeds it's not good to spray in 5th because it is a weak gear. In my auto EX my 4th is an extremely weak gear so If i were you I probably wouldn't spray so high into the rpm band when your car is in 4th

Just my 2 cents, can anyone back me up on this?

 

[intake]

I thought that 2.. But i asked a couple people and they said it should be fine to run Nitrous in my 4th gear

I dont know..

PLease SOmeone.. MORE INPUT!

 

[VTECnutz]

Your not hitting the governor are you?

 

[RidinLow]

If the speed limiter is anything like the rev limiter, I hope the nitrous isn't engaged when that happens...

 

[intake]

Your not hitting the governor are you?

OH HELL NO? in 4th? u crazy.. I was maybe around 100 mph's..

Im not that Stupid

 

[VTECnutz]

My Ex doesn't shift into 4th untill about 100.

But like i said 4th is a weak gear and just becareful peace
