Just ordered a superchip

[93 Marquis]

What kind of air intake did you order for your '92?

[danbraniff]

Its not the system sorry for the misinterpretation its more of the intake http://cgi.ebay.ca/MERCURY-GRAND-MAR...QQcmdZViewItem

and it comes with a filter but a no name so i have to put my ractive one back on . dont know though whats another good company?

The big Plastic thing that bolts to the throttle body (often called a violin case) is your biggest restriction. putting a cone filter on in front of it may be a slight improvement if any.

There was a local muffler shop around here that would bend an intake pipe out of 3" pipe.

Anyways I quickly put it on before work today and found out that my car wont start. So i took it out and will work on it further tongiht. but for some reason my baby runs kinda different after that though.. meh who knows.

did you transfer over the MAF sensor and hook it back up?
I think the IAT is in there somewhere too.

[93 Marquis]

The IAT (Intake Air Temperature sensor) is screwed into the air box lid next to the MAF.

When I put in my 12" conical K&N I drilled a 1/2" hole in the rubber end and screwed it in. I had to extend the wires for the IAT, but it worked well. Hopefully the company that made that intake left provisions for the IAT in the tube after the MAF. (Though I doubt it....)

No...... Lol when i install the superchip into the computer she just doesnt want to start. And after i pulled it out it seems to be acting kinda funny. Wierd though. Anyone install a superchip before?

[93 Marquis]

Did you pull the computer and clean (and I mean REALLY CLEAN!!!!) the connector?

There is an epoxy covering the connector that will keep the chip from making good contact. When I put in my chip the computer was out of the car and apart. Even then I had to work my a$$ off getting the terminals clean. If all of the pins aren't clean, it's going to act funny or not run.

As for acting funny now, un-plug the battery and reset the ECM. (Leave it disconnected for 30 minutes or so) That will reset the computer to factory and should make her run right again.

sounds like you need to go back and do your homework, dan.

[danbraniff]

Alright thanks Im gonna reset the Computer today and maybe work on pulling it all day. I didnt pull it out but I did scrap everything off of it i could see anything ruining the connection but I will try. Thanks. and

Yes I did do my homework I just had troubles taking th ecomputer out so i skipped that step.

[93 Marquis]

Without removing the computer and taking the case apart you won't be able to get the terminals clean. Be sure to get all of the coating off, and scrub the connectors until they are a nice copper color, not silver.

Did you get what looks like steel wool with the chip? My Superchip had a small steel wool pad to clean the connection.
