I removed the DTHTBs in order to resolve some fitting issues (I had forgotten to attach the throttle cable, which is a pig to do in situ with the filter and backing plate fitted, and I realised that you need to rotate the injectors through 180 to avoid the connectors fouling the throttle bodies and worse still on my car with the hole I have cut in the boot you cannot remove the filter without removing the DTHTBs - for now I have worked around this by removing the trumpets, which will let me attach and remove the filter without all that rigmarole; once I get an airbox I can refit the trumpets <sigh>).
I then refitted them and put everything back together, except I left off the backplate and filter for a moment so I could see the throttles and the IACV.
It cranked and gave me oil pressure no bother (remember I had already had it running since refitting the head so I wasn't expecting any grief here).
The emerald gave me the green light for the crank position sensor so that was good.
I loaded a suitable map from the sample maps (Mill3.fig - a very similar setup) and tried to start. No joy, just spluttering away. Turns out by default the emerald maps don't use the IACV, so I needed to switch to manual IACV and open it up a long way. As soon as I did this it started!!!
Now it idles and runs like a bag of spanners, so will need to do some proper mapping, but that's best done with the garage door open and not on a cold, dark and wet night
Any tips for a quick start to emerald mapping would be much appreciated. I am only trying to get a safe base map in there to get it idling reasonably well and running to 3-4K. Once that's done, I'll box the car up and trot off to Dastek to map it on the rollers properly.
small wonder that your engine didn't last all that long in the end consider the number of KH sessions you did in it!!
