Post by supercatxr7 »

A P0121 code is for the Throttle Position Sensor/Switch A Circ Range/Perf....

definitely does not sound like a tuning issue...

sounds like something's up with the throttle body / sensor after the work you had done to it...

Yes, but I was looking at other forums on LS1 tech and it is a common problem with ported t bodies on LS motors. Most were able to tune it out by adjusting the MinMAP to 0 and the MaxMap to 100. Maybe some of the tuners have experienced this or tuned it out?

13.4's @ 104 with a few bolt ons, I don't think I'm doing too bad besides being wrong wheel drive!

Just an FYI, I put an unported throttle body back on it and it is fine. Seems porting the tbody requires additional tuning to account for the range of the tbody at idle and such. Let me know if you guys can do anything with the tune to compensate for this, as I would really like to use the ported tbody with my ported manifold.

thanks!

Got the tune and loaded it, thanks. Code is gone, but shifting still isn't right. The shift points on light acceleration are still affected. Car pretty much starts out in first and shifts quickly to second and third on light acceleration from a stop. WOT is okay though.
