Default Trouble Vortec supercharger The Netherlands

HI,

How are you?? guys?


Because i have a lot of problems when the install the vortec ho in my stang 2005 gt automatic ... i had to contact vortec again...
Vortec told me that there is possible failure because the cold weather in The Netherlands...but we have just normal weather ...the winter was about fahrenheit 26....
And the told me not to drive it everyday....???

Strange.....so you can only drive a supercharger in the summer??

P0104 - mass or volume /circuit intermittent
P0506 - idle air control /idle air control system rpm lower then expected
P1000 - OBD System reading


greetings

ralph

Sounds like who you talked to at Vortec is an idiot. You can use a supercharger anywhere at any time. Cold air is good. Cold = more dense air = more power.

The issue here may be the tune. Where does your tune come from?

I would have went with a brenspeed tune for the vortec instead of the canned tune from the manufacturer...

If its not in the MAF sensor then have the car dyno tuned.

P0104 OBD-II Trouble Code

Technical Description

Mass Air Flow (MAF) Circuit Intermittent
What does that mean?

Basically this means that there is a problem with the Mass Air Flow High (MAF) sensor or circuit. A more technical description would be that the MAF is producing incorrect air flow readings.




OBD-Codes.com on Facebook

Symptoms

You will likely not notice any serious drivability problems, although there may be symptoms such as a general decrease in power or sluggishness.
Causes


A code P0104 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
  • The mass air flow (MAF) circuit is incomplete (broken / frayed wire, etc.)
  • There is an air leak in the intake.
Possible Solutions


The simplest thing to do is to reset the code and see if it comes back. Then start with the cheapest, easiest repair procedures:
  • Verify that the Mass Air Flow Sensor wiring is connected properly and that there are no broken / frayed wires.
  • Inspect for any air leaks near the MAF.
  • Check the voltage of the MAF sensor (refer to a repair manual for vehicle specific information)
  • Replace the MAF sensor.

P0506 - Idle Air Control System RPM Lower Than Expected

OBD-II Trouble Code Technical Description

Idle Air Control (IAC) System RPM Lower Than Expected
What does that mean?

This P0506 code is one that's sometimes triggered on vehicles that have electronic throttle control. That is, they don't have a regular throttle cable from the accelerator pedal to the engine. They rely on sensors and electronics to control the throttle. In this case, the P0506 DTC (diagnostic trouble code) is triggered when the PCM (powertrain control module) detects an engine idle speed that is lower than the desired (pre-programmed) RPM.




OBD-Codes.com on Facebook

Potential Symptoms

Most likely the only thing you'll notice is the idle speed is lower than normal so it will likely be rougher. There are potentially other symptoms as well. Of course, when trouble codes are set, the MIL (malfunction indicator lamp, a.k.a. the check engine light) illuminates.
Causes

A P0506 DTC trouble code may be caused by one or more of the following:
  • A vacuum leak
  • An air restriction in the intake air path or exhuast
  • A faulty positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve
  • Damaged/failed/dirty throttle body
  • Internal engine problem
  • Failed PCM
Possible Solutions

This DTC is more of an informational code, so if there are any other codes set, diagnose them first. If there are no other codes, inspect for vacuum leaks, restrictions, and damage. If there are no symptoms other than the DTC itself, just clear the code and see whether it returns.

hang in there, Ralph.
many supercharger installs dont go smooth as silk, if you know what i mean.
it is more complicated than a cold air induction and a tune.
hang in there and work out the problems.
trouble shoot the easy solutions first.
you will be happy when it is all working well.
