Problems at the Track

AggieStang · January 18th, 2010, 08:59 PM

I went to the track and had some problems. I would get close to the finish line and the car would show the low battery light and an empty gas tank and would shut off. This has happened once before at the track but happened on two runs this time. I also installed a window switch and I felt the nitrous cutting in and out. It’s at 3000 and 5800 right now. Anyone know why this is happening? Here’s my thread about the runs that it didn’t shut off: Broke into the 7's!

Loose connection on the battery? Could be. Mine did something similar, where it just died after getting on it and one of the battery cables was loose.

Scott2001GT · January 18th, 2010, 09:05 PM

so how much gas did you have? check connections like I8 said also

AggieStang · January 18th, 2010, 09:10 PM

Half tank on the gas. It would start up as soon as I turned the key. I had to start it quick to make the turn for the return road lol.

Scott2001GT · January 18th, 2010, 09:12 PM

no CEL?

AggieStang · January 18th, 2010, 09:14 PM

Sorry, what's CEL?

Scott2001GT · January 18th, 2010, 09:15 PM

check engine light

AggieStang · January 18th, 2010, 09:16 PM

Oh haha. No, I was waiting for one though.

Scott2001GT · January 18th, 2010, 09:17 PM

mmm. idk man. did you have your tuner look over the window switch install?

Scott2001GT · January 18th, 2010, 09:18 PM

Check all connections and bottle PSI

AggieStang · January 18th, 2010, 09:20 PM

It did it once before the window switch install so it's not that. I'm hoping the nitrous not being on the whole run is as easy as changing the rpms on the switch though. What does everyone usually set it at?

I'm thinking it's going to be something more complicated then that, but it's definitely worth a try.

Scott2001GT · January 18th, 2010, 09:34 PM

Most likely lol but idk man...maybe some Nitrous guys will get in here

do you have the capability to datalog? that would be of most help

BoostFiend · January 18th, 2010, 09:46 PM

I would have to say loose connection or perhaps you are hitting fuel cut. What is your fuel system?

mystang0673 · January 18th, 2010, 09:47 PM

the car would cut off at wot before the traps or after the traps when you let off the gas?

What would I need to do that?

That was one of the things I thought of. It's on the stock pump and injectors. They said the pump was pretty much pegged when I got it dynoed, but they told me I would be fine. I'm planning on upgrading the fuel system over the summer.

It must have been right after the traps when I let off, because I was looking at the MPH and they were pretty close to the runs where it didn't shut off.

mystang0673 · January 18th, 2010, 10:22 PM

did you push in the clutch or did you just let off the gas? if you let off the gas did you let completely off or ease off?
