Randomly Injecting

dsms4ever · 03-30-2008

I got my Progressive Controller back after some work they did and i installed it and everything looks great. Red light comes on with ignition as well as the initial pump prime. When i get into the boost level to where it starts to come on at the green light flickers and it makes a slight beeping sound until i hit full boost and the green light is solid and the orange full light comes on. Everything works fine, but then my car started randomly cutting out before i hit my injection boost range. So i maxed out the settings on the controller to ensure it wasn't injection. No lights came on when i hit my normal boost range which was good but the car was still cutting out. I would hit the gas and the car would just flat line as if i was hitting fuel cut. But this would be at like 1 to 2 pounds of boost. I messed around with timing and nothing changed it. So i was like well it' randomly going rich so it must be injection when it shouldnt. I took the line out of the check valve at the intercooler pipe and put the line in a water bottle and took the car out driving normally for a few days never getting into the injection range and my controller never lit up as if it was injection. I checked the water bottle in it and there's like 4 ounces of water in it. What the heck??? I have the m7 nozzle in it. Has this happened to anyone else?

The car doesn't cut out anymore at all. I guess i should have added that. And i'm just injecting purified water for now.

Is your tank higher than your nozzle?

Did you check your tank for leaks as well and make sure all your fittings are tight. If you never hit your set range you should not be loosing fluid like that.

My tank is in my trunk and the line runs cleanly under the car, up the firewall, and then into my inter cooler pipe near my throttle body is it's not higher. It just doesn't make sense, but just to be sure the pump is being activated and it's not some other factor i'm going to t into the power wire to the pump with an led to see if it's randomly being activated by the controller. It doesn't make sense though as the rest of the controller is functioning perfectly.

I put in the M3 nozzle and it's working better for some reason. Car hasn't been cutting out. perhaps the M7 was just putting in too much water and it was sitting stagnant in the pipe and then when i pressed on the gas it would blow in the water and kill the combustion.
