Got my car back after fuel pump failure...can't get PROcede to operate correctly...

Straz M3 · 08-27-2007, 04:07 PM

So I got my car back today from the dealer after it having the fuel pump go at about 7800 miles. I left PROcede in and switched to the stock map. No problems, they didn't find it nor look for anything aftermarket as far as software goes.

Car runs nice using PROcede with the stock map. When I uploaded the V.147, I don't feel any difference from stock and under load I am getting the engine malfunction light with the half full symbol. I tried the LBT version as well as 1.45. Every NON Stock map I try with PROcede is yielding the same results. Stock like power with that engine light. No service engine lights or anything.

Help me! I have been without my car for a month and I want my torque back!!

Kbueno · 08-27-2007, 04:24 PM

Are you using the latest upload software? Strange it works for stock map and not for others.

Dustin Bramell · 08-27-2007, 04:24 PM

Did you put the boost vacuum hoses back to stock?

where in NJ are you? I can try to help ya out if you wanna meet up sometime. Not that I know for sure what the problem is, but 2 heads is better than one...

Straz M3 · 08-27-2007, 05:50 PM

I didnt touch the vacuum hoses...I thought it was that but I am honestly unsure of what to look for. When I brought the car in it was EXACTLY how Shiv set it up just with a stock map. Do you think the dealer put the vacuum hoses back to stock?? No way

You guys think the dealer would switch those back to stock? Would I be getting that engine light if they were not in the right places for PROcede?

Help me out guys...

Go to your car and check the solenoid

Straz M3 · 08-28-2007, 11:48 AM

I will when I get home from work...what do I look for. I did not install it and watched Shiv work his magic in 4 minutes haha

Locate this thing, see the two white knub sticking out? remove the hoses from the T connector and plug it back in. the longer one goes to the farther knub, and the other go to the nearer one.

So the hoses are stock if they are in those two white holes?

Yes, the stock configuration would be having the hoses attached.

watch the video on the website you will see clearly

Straz M3 · 08-28-2007, 02:15 PM

OK just got home...the hoses are still setup for PROcede...they are not in those white holes. What else should I try. I am using the latest PROcede software. I have uploaded maps many times before.

The stock map works fine though I dont get it. The car just does not run right when uploading any of the PROcede maps.

Any ideas?

Kbueno · 08-28-2007, 03:01 PM

They shouldn't of messed with your ECU, right? All I can think is loose wire/connection?

they messed with my ECU during the fuel pump install... they said that a BMWNA rep came and actually took the DME out!!... of course my pump failed back when bmw was still saying "never heard of a fuel pump failure before"

Kbueno · 08-28-2007, 03:32 PM

- I would methodically go through the ECU pin connectors and make sure they are on tight. Did you try posting in Vishnu's support forum...may have better luck there.

Lee Rambler · 08-28-2007, 05:16 PM

check the power connections - fuse and mostly the ground

Dinan335i · 08-28-2007, 06:54 PM

When I got my hpfp replaced the dealer spent almost the entire next day updating the software/computer. Have no idea whether this would impact your procede, but chances are that they DID do something to your computer.

NOT at all

"the longer one goes to the farther knub, and the other go to the nearer one."

Spool, are you saying the longer hose goes to the left connector on the solenoid in your diagram above and the shorter hose attaches to the right connector when returning to the stock position?

Just checking because it is a little unclear in the video.
