Need To Pass Emmissions!
My car is reading the code that i am misfiring on all four Cylinders! I replaced the Cap, Rotor, Spark plugs and wires and the car is still misfiring according to the computer. Well yesterday i took off the emanage and plugged up the stock ecu and the car was running fine with no problem so i thought maybe that it was the emanage that was bad. Well i drove for about 50 miles then the check engine light came on again for the same thing.
its a boosted b16 obd2. the car is running on 5lbs of boost! Any ideas would be greatly appreciated other than sell the car because that is not an option at the moment!

Re: Need To Pass Emmissions!
Ok well my car is not misfiring anymore so I drove around a then it gave the code that I was running rich or leaning with just the stock ecu hooked up so i plugged up my emanage and the car was working great for awhile then the Baro Sensor Light came on! Where is this sensor located and what can i do to fix this problem cause i still need to pass emmission!
How many miles do I need to drive so the car goes into ready mode for emmissions?

Re: Need To Pass Emmissions!
Ah.... the good ol' Code 13 and Code 70's.....
Your issue is the E-manage. Barometric Pressure is read via your MAP sensor, which also plays a role in firing. OBD2 cars are very prone to that. When the GReddy kit first came out with the e-manage, this was a common problem because the emanage tricks the ECU via the map sensor to manage fuel. THere are a few ways to get rid of this. Most likely, you have an older e-manage pre-set fuel table. This is what you can do:
1) send the e-manage back to GReddy for an update... which could take forever to get back
2) get your e-manage tuned
3) switch to OBD1 ECU. OBD1 does not read code 13.
4) but if you decide to convert to OBD1, might as well get that ECU chipped and socketed for CROME which to me is a waaayyyy better management anyway.
Goodluck
