Question Help with Power-FC D-Jetro

I just installed a Power-FC D-Jetro on my car. The car started up on the first try and everything. I was going through checking the sensors on the commander and the PA (atmospheric Pressure) sensor reads zero.

Can anyone verify if it is supposed to read zero?

TIA

Angry

confirmed!
Crap. I have boost set to 21 psi on my EBC and for some reason the ECU goes into the 2 bar maps. Ignition gets retarded like a **** to around -8 degrees and IDC's go up to 100%.

I figured there was something wrong with the PA sensor and it was causing the ECU to see a lot more boost than there actually was.

Any ideas?

You are not hitting 2 bar maps. The highest map mine goes to which hasn't been altered at all from Apexi is 26000. Which is actually 1.6 kg/cm2 or 22.75 psi. There is some formula in the manual to make the 26000 = 1.6. I didn't get it at first either.

Fas4dr,
I thought the formula was 16000 / 10,000 = 1.6 kg/cm2? 26000 / 10,000 = 2.6 kg/cm2?
Could you check your manual to confirm your suggestion?

ASTROEVO,
Could you check to see the voltage measured by your PA sensor?

By the way, the PA sensor, is the Atmospheric Pressure sensor.

In the etc. menu. Where you can check the voltage readings for all the sensors. Locate the Boost sensor voltage reading. Right under it there is a voltage reading labeled only as PA. The manual identifies PA as the Atmospheric Pressure. Leo's reads 0 volts. He wants to know if that is normal.

Thanks for checking. I really don't know what that sensor would be for. What I really don't understand is why leo's car is running at higher load sites in the fuel and ign. maps, than the actual boost its running. Anybody got any suggestions?
