Hi all,
Today I did my engine back wires clean up. I kinda just untape all the wires and retape it. somehow I found out there is a vaccum hose on the charcoa canister which connect to a nipple under the throttle body was off. So I connected it back in and made sure its tight. but somehow, my wideband starts acting weird. at idling, it jumps from 12 to low 16. sometimes it stays around high 12 to low 13 for a while, then just jump to 14 and 15 and stays around 15-high 16 for a while. I dont know is it because of the vaccum hose. or what's going on?

my setup is s15 t28, redtop, stock boost, stock injector

and i found out one thing. when the wideband reading goes higher, the battery voltage on the safc says the battery voltage goes lower to 13.5 and it goes back up to 14.2

st cloud represent!! I never see any nice 240s back home. I'm about an hour southwest of you. What's the car scene like in SC? Any drifting events etc? Or do u just keep it on the streets? Sorry to interrupt your thread. hit me up in a PM.

could it be a bad grounding? because I did move one grounding which was on the on side of intake manifold, and now to the other side of intake manifold. or maybe the injector connectors order is wrong? The number one connector and number two connector should not be messed up since they are the first longest and the second longest. I am afraid I messed up the order for number 3 and 4. What would happen if I mess up the order of the connectors? and the two wires on the connector, one of them is red. the other one is different by each connector. The number three on my is having red and green wires. And the number 4 is red and blue wires. Is it correct?

My aem wideband is doing the same. I also dont understand it. What numbers was yours showing before you hooked up the hose.
