Default Help any one have omex 550

Having prob getting 2l 16v zetec turbo running. Have got rover 820 inlet. Sabb 2.3 turbo injectors red ones. Focus central pistons. Eagle rods. Stage 3 t3. 8.2.1 compression with cosmetic head gasket 1mm. And a uprated escort cossie fuel pump. All this in a j plate escort mk5 cab. Problem is it starts on button but will only run 4 15 seconds then cut out. But restarts straight away. If u touch throttle it cuts out as well. Please help lossing temper with it. Cheers.

Double check all the wiring. Have you calibrated the sensors to the ECU?

That could be an issue with the map or sensor calibration...

Are the injectors low impedance? IIRC Omex can only run high impedance injectors.

Calibration depends on the ECU. It should say in the manuel from Omex.

make sure TPS raw value reads about 4 lower than actual value
eg, tps raw reads 30 then set tps min as 26.
This should give a throttle reading of 1 in parameters.
