Installed my Hydra tonight and loaded the base map from Phil. The car will start and spit and sputter for about 5 seconds then just die. Need some help.
Thanks

You need to contact Phil directly (if you did buy the Hydra from Phil). He will take care of you on it. Not to mention for help on here from others you would need to at least list all of your mods.

PS Roughly where at in Ohio are you?

Justin,

Go ahead and give me a call today so I can help you out. First "upload" the map that is currently in your Hydra and email it to me so I can make sure you've downloaded the map correctly. 9 out of 10 times this is the problem.

I can call you back once I review your map.

Thanks,
Phil

Justin,

I just realized looking at my notes that I never emailed you a map. The map was already programmed into the Hydra so no downloading was required.

Thanks,
Phil

If you turn the key to 'ON' without starting the car and let the WB02 sensor warm up for 30 seconds, then start the car, what AFRs are you seeing?

I would offer to help if I felt more competent with the tuning of the Hydra (I am only brave enough to risk ruining my car, not someone else's). But you might try calling Bryon at Meade Engineering. He has gotten some positive reviews from some of the other local guys in general tuning ability; I believe he has worked with a couple of Hydras as well.
