ok guys i'm gonna sleep on it and take it from the top tomorrow. If anyone knows why they say to disconnect the battery please post in the mean time. Thanks for all the help that has been provided it looks like i missed something and i'll also try getting the low boost MAP. 1 more thing though I did start up the car and move it about 20 ft before doing the vacuum hoses could that be causing something? Can't wait for V2 so i can break something else!

Valentine-- If you haven't already, fill out a tech callback request from our website and either Dustin or myself will call you tomorrow and walk you through things. Pretty easy stuff... nothing to worry about.
Cheers
shiv

Dont worry dude. I was in the same boat as you. If its anything, Shiv and Dustin will settle it for you like they did for me. Alls well that ends well. Pucker up mate!

Did you check the wire connectors to fit properly ,the one to the other?

While doing the instalation myself i noticed that the female connector was a "little" bit bigger than it should so the connectors were lose. A couple of other people only faced this issue.

I dont know if a lose connection could cause this problem...just trying helping you

GL man! Hope you get this resolved soon, so that you can enjoy your PROcede'd car!

[silvrevo]

Hope you get to the bottom of this.

Seems usually its a simple thing. One of the best ways to find the solution to a problem is to let it go, pay no attention to it,, then wham it happens.

Correct Zenmaster? lolol

So are you money or what?

[Valentine]

Talked to tech support today and I am leaving my battery disconnected overnight and will be working with them again tomorrow. Dustin was very patient with me and I think when we walk through the issue tomorrow we will get it. I am going to post a step-by-step of what we did to diagnose the problem when it is resolved so that anyone who has this problem in the future will be able to take care of as much as they can without having to call. :crossfingers:

Did you make sure that you didn't switch the #6 and #7 wires when connecting to the yellow looms?
I have a feeling that this happens a lot when people go for the install. They disconnect the #6 and #7 wire at the same time, input both yellow looms in 6 and 7 slot, but connect the #7 wire to the loom that's in the #6 slot and vice versa.
It's just a hunch.

with out trying to switch them to see what works...

the wire with #524 stamped on it (on the stock wires) goes into slot 6... and the other goes into slot 7.

[CASHBY]

This is how it should be wired... just double and tripple check it.

The yellow wire that went into pin 10 has the number 1324 stamped on it.
(which gets connected to green PROcede loom)

The yellow wire that went into pin 29 has the number 494 stamped on it.
(which gets connected to white PROcede loom)

The yellow/white wire that went into pin 6 on the small ecu connector has the number 525 stamped on it. (which gets connected to one of the yellow PROcede looms)

The yellow/white wire that went into pin 7 on the small ecu connector does not seem have any number stamped on it (which gets connected to the other yellow PROcede loom)

[e.n335]

Install the wires according to Charlie and check if the engine runs with the PROcede bypass plugs installed. This is the first 1st important step which has to work before you continue.

+1, beat me to it. that is supposed to be the cause of an unstable idle and cel

+2 That's also why people should pull the female wires from the stock loom one wire at a time, just like in the video, and check each one off in turn on the written instructions I printed out for that purpose. I double or triple checked my counting to the correct wire just to be anal about it. There were also a couple of male-female taped connections that seemed loose even though they were seated properly, so I removed the tape and retaped them till they were secure.

And like others have said, if the car ran fine with no codes with the bypass plugs in, then the wiring was done right. If it's wiring, plugs or no, you're going to throw codes.

I have no doubt you'll have this resolved before the weekend.

[Valentine]

the wiring was right we checked that using the numbers on the wires and tried with the bypass. tomorrow aftr the battery was disconnected for a while i will start from scratch. As i said earlier Dustin has been a great help and it may be something simple that caused the inital CEL and then it just never cleared. Either way we will see tomorrow.

You don't have the C-Reader to clear the codes, correct?

[Valentine]

i do but it was not clearing the codes neither was putting it back to stock and restarting it 5 times.

[homer_jay]

If you haven't already, check the ground and the power with a volt meter. My install 'looked' perfect, but whenever I plugged the procede in, my car threw a CEL and it had crazy shudders. I checked to see if the Procede was getting power, it wasn't. Stripped the wire - problem solved. Best of Luck - Shiv's people will definitely take care of you!

[j|rz44]

Sorted?

[Valentine]

no not yet, but today nothing got accomplished and it was my fault. I feel a bit dumb already so I'll hopefully be able to get with someone from there tomorrow.

[Valentine]

ok figured it out
