Thread: Problem with FAST XFI.

Started 3 months, 1 week ago by Turbopoul
Been having this problem ever since i bought FAST XFI. FAST tech are stumped. At 40% and above go pedal, the engine check light comes on, saying that injectors dutycycle is at 100%. Injectors are #85, fuel pump is A1000. The base fuel 43psi. Psi goes up with boost, 1psi= 1psi boost. Afr is at 11.5-11.8 under boost. I have no idea what else to do ?? Please help

Can you send me a datalog and your current gct file to look at? How new is the fuel pump? what are you using for filters before and after pump?

Turbopoul replied 3 months, 1 week ago
Hey Otto J , pump, before and after filters are brand new Aeromotive. I was wondering, if AFR set 11.5-11.8 , and VE tables set to low, under 90, could be the problem ? email sent. Thanks..

Poul,after looking at that log you need to take a serious look at your fuel system to before going any further. what does your fuel system consist of?

Turbopoul replied 3 months, 1 week ago
Otto J , I have rear sump with 10an fitting , Aeromotive A1000 pump, before and after Aeromotive filters, 8an braded line from filter to stock fuel rail, GN boost refrence reg, stock 3/8 return line, stock vent (open at engine bay) The fuel psi goes up with boost, base 43psi, 20psi boost = 63psi on the fuel gauge. Can the tune be way off ? Thanks.

Dont hesitate to remove both filters and have a look at them. just because the pressure isnt dropping of doesnt mean that flow isnt. doesnt matter if they are new or not. Is the before filter a steel screen or paper?

asloan5 replied 3 months, 1 week ago
did you clean the braided line after you installed the ends ? as shipped they are not very clean and have enough crap in them to clog up the little screens in the fuel injectors.

bobc455 replied 3 months, 1 week ago
Is your fuel filter visible while driving? Or is it underhood? (as long as pressure is not dropping, your pump is able to handle whatever flow the injectors are requesting.) Do you have any O2 correction? Does a datalog agree that the injectors are trying for 100%? Does this occur at all RPM? Is your air and water temperature indication accurate? Have you had your ...

If your fuel pressure is keeping up and the injectors are reading 100% duty cycle, you either need a larger injector or have a fuel delivery problem. This is provided you are running at the proper A/F ratio. Have you tried raising the base fuel pressure up? Even if the tune was way off, the duty cylce wouldn't change as long as the WBO2 was mainting the proper A/F ratio.

Hey guys, I instaled a brand new fuel tank, cleaned the braded line before XFI. I raised fuel psi to 50 base, no change. WB correction is 24%. One thing, I'm running 10g wire from alt to pump relay by the pump, I had to rig the relay so that it turns the pump on with the ground wire that i am running back to the XFI. I noticed that the ground wire is only 16g, and original from 1992. ...

They sell a dual sync distributor you could install and run it sequential.

I put it all back together in a week... and tuned it down at the Sy/Ty nats and drove it around a little... well.. when we got back I didn't see it except for at home.... So I didn't get to do much else with it other than that...

If your fuel pressure is not dropping at WOT, then the wiring is not the problem. Can you observe your fuel pressure while driving? Is it dropping at WOT? -Bob C.

Pm sent. I am very curious what this problem is going to end up being, should be interesting..... I was running 6000 rpm in 3rd gear 11.2 afr and I never saw my 75's go over 74% dc, with the VE table in the 76 range. This is with a single 340 pump.

This is the link for the Delphi 85# injectors: As someone else stated, you may want to make sure your injector filter screens are not full of junk. You can remove them and while holding them upside down gently tap them on a white cloth / paper towel to see if any debris comes out. You may be able to view them with some good light as well.
