    Confirmed: LEDs can be turned off

    From all the pictures they seem very silly, feminine and faddish. I do not like them on the Audi or anything else. It's not that they are LED's, but when they are in a line they look like a necklace of some sort. I am buying the GTS and have been studying what to do. The best solution that I...

    VCA priority on 2013 cars

    Bill your factual input is always welcome and appreciated. The misinformation on this forum is nauseating.

    For those that "get it"; GTSR/ACR STREET - DRIVING!

    That's a well thought out and realistic response. I appreciate the reality check in discussions because I live in a real world, I'm not 15 and spend my days fantasizing. There is no question the PS's of the street GTS-R are very aggressive and I love it, however just looking at the picture, I...

    Viper Red spotted

    I must admit that I don't really care for the car in these pics. It reminds me of a 90's Toyota Supra. However, I must go back to when I was a VV which I remember very clearly. This is my unemotional, unattached, pure recollection of my VV (Viper Virgin) experience, not contaminated with...

    List of Gen V options

    For those lie me that are clamoring for more info on the Gen V and will be buying, (and for folks that actually like the car), I found this options list for the SRT/GTS. There are a ton of option, no 2 vipers should be exactly alike. http://www.moparnats.org/documents/2013_SRT_Viper_FA.pdf

    Gen v = "butter face"

    There will never be a perfect car, every car, I mean ever car has compromises of one sort or another. And they never look the same in pictures as they do in actual. I will reserve all judgement till I actually see one, even if I have to wait till I go to Detroit to pick mine up later this...

    Viper PURIST, what is the line/definitiion

    So how do you produce anything "new" while maintaining purity/tradition? The very definition implies old, handed down, long established. Wouldn't it be more akin to the production of a replica. So what some are saying is that the GenV should be a replica of a GenI or II. That seems rather boring...

    What could the problem be?

    Everyone is correct, it’s a miss shift. That happened to me a couple of times, especially at the track. The motor/tranny will twist under heavy load and when you do a quick off gas/shift, the assembly snaps back. So if you throw the shifter the way you normally do, you will hit 1st instead of...

    Misfire codes, I give

    They are stock. I called Dan and we are going to work on a couple of things. Will let you know.

    Misfire codes, I give

    Very astute Brito, I did change back to the OEM MAP sensor. No, I did not gone into details on checking the sensors. Dan, I will definitely take you up on that offer. I am really beginning to think that the SCT changed something that I did not intend on the PCM that is causing my woes.

    Misfire codes, I give

    It idles fine, seems like it may stumble at close to 3,000. A vacuum leak is most noticeable at idle and it does not show any signs of a leak. The I have a wide band on both banks and fuel pressure when the AEM is connected but not with the OEM PCM connected. I have logged the fuel trims but...

    Misfire codes, I give

    I am not running any boost right now and I tried several different plugs all doing the same thing. So again it is not the plugs or wires or injectors. The car was running fine before I parked it. The setup has been track tested dozens of times. The motor is still very fresh and all the...

    Misfire codes, I give

    It is not a stupid question. What I did was take out the injectors and had them serviced, in the meantime I put in an old set, no change. When the injectors came from being serviced I replaced them. Still no change. The injectors that I sent for service were fine BTW. Again, I did the plugs...

    Misfire codes, I give

    That’s correct Chip, I have a new set of the quality wires. The odds of 2 bad wires was slim. But just to eliminate that issue, I put an old wire on #4/#9 and no change. That completely eliminates the wires. Did the same for injectors and plugs. I know those are not the problems. I also...

    Misfire codes, I give

    I have verified all the easy stuff, wires, plugs, gas, and vacuum leak. I did pull the crank sensor out when I changed the plug wires (could not release the connector so I pulled the sensor). I will recheck but I think it is a long shot. A little background on my setup. I have a totally...

    Misfire codes, I give

    Very good advice and I have checked, checked, checked, checked and checked to make sure the plugs were correct. I wish that was the problem. I have an Autotap scanner that allows me so see about 30 parameters real-time, data log and graph the sensor values. It can not show me the cylinder...

    Misfire codes, I give

    I agree, it don’t believe it is the positioning sensors. I am starting to think that it is a global issue. As a sequence of processing, the PCM discovers #4 misfire, then #9 and then gives P0300 random/multiple misfire because it decides that the misfire is happening all over the place. And...

    Misfire codes, I give

    Hmmm . . I would think that that either positioning sensor would through off a multitude of codes, most likely not allow the engine to run at all. I am consistently getting these 2 misfire codes. And I memory serves, when I damaged the crank sensor before (I believe it was whooping you in...

    Misfire codes, I give

    I give. P0304/P0309 #4/#9 misfire code. Changed the plugs, the wires and injectors but is still persists. Rebuilt engine less than 2K miles. I do not know what else to do at this point. Compression & leak down look fine. #4 & #9 are on different coils so the chance that they both went bad at the...

    How does the PCM know

    Changed injectors, wires and plugs and it did not move, so that eliminates the easy stuff.

    How does the PCM know

    Hmmm . . . very interesting. Thanks for that insight. So what the PCM is saying is that it is not detecting any appreciable combustion contribution at the time that #4 cylinder should be firing. It doesn’t know why, just that there is no power at that time. Given the rings/valves are OK and...

    How does the PCM know

    I am getting a P0304 & P0309 (#4 & #9 cylinder misfire). So how does the PCM know there is a misfire and which cylinder??? There is no feedback loop that at I am aware of. What is telling the PCM of a misfire? If the injector is not connected, you get an injector code, if the coil isn’t firing...

    Yet Another Engine Cooling Question!!

    A buddy of mine had the same symptoms on his 96. I have a live OBD scanner and connected to the port and can read what the PCM is seeing. Cold, in the garage the water temp sensor said 50 deg above what the ambient air temp was. Obviously the sensor was reading high. A viper tech at VOI...
