Put the stock intake/box back on and see if that gets rid of the cel. However, you should seriously consider getting a good aftermarket CAI as there are many good choices out there from: R/R, EC, ATM, Injen, and NeuF all available at a reasonable cost. Check the classified section too.

 

Tried what you said drove a few miles with it. Did a hard pull in 2nd and in 3rd and the PSI bounced drastically at High RPMS near red line. Also not sure when engine light would go away. But the oscillation in PSI would lead me to believe there is still a problem.

 

Are you using the stock turbo boost indicator that comes with the Abarth? If so you should now that the turbo boost "gauge" dose not acutally display accurate engine boost. It merely displays what the PCM thinks actual boost going into the engine is. You would either need to hook up a OBDII reader that has the ability to map engine data points and set the boost as one to keep an eye on or hook in a cheap boost gauge with a T line connector to one of the vacuum hoses in the engine bay and test the boost with that to actually be sure your boost is still "bouncing around". Do not trust the factory gauge. Soon as I get some spare change I am changing it out with a legit aftermarket boost gauge that can measure boost and vacuum.

 

Yeah I read about that Timmay, but this is something that I can feel as the car lurches.

 

Did you double check all of your U3 connectors? Make sure none of the pins are bent. Also recheck your intake vacuum tubing and connections to make sure none of it is crimped or cut.

Also with the stock air box back in, did you do a hard reset and drive spiritedly in NS mode with ESC fully off and staying under red line?

 

Best bet is to give us a call at the shop so you can talk to Rob, he's excellent at trouble-shooting. 562-906-0080

 

Ill definitely do that. Thanks Im assuming its the M-F hours listed on the website?

Ill triple check to make sure. Hard reset means I am assuming removing the + and putting it back on if thats the case. No. Ill try that too.

 

No, remove - for approx. 20 min.

 

Do a hard reset disconnect battery hold brake down for about ten seconds and then leave disconnected for 15-20 minutes. Reconnect battery and go through the learn process again, but you should definitely talk to the guys at RRM about upgrading that intake of yours.

 

Yup. Am having the same issue. My boost gauge is rarely displaying boost and I'm experiencing check engine lights.

I brought my car to Chilli Performance in Tampa. They installed a Braille battery for me (weighs 11.5 Lbs) and used my Dash Camander app to diagnose the CEL's.

They believe that I need to replace the boost sensor. That's purported to be a four week wait for the part, per Fiat of Clearwater. So Chilli Performance ordered one from Dodge, since the boost sensor part number is identical for an Abarth and a Dart. Turns out that part is not identical, so I've got another three weeks (we'll see...) to wait.

 

So much for a four week wait. The boost sensor was ordered on May 5th and the dealer now sees an anticipated delivery date of June 19th (subject to change). There are currently 27 boost sensors on back order in the U.S.

 

Boost sensor arrived at dealership yesterday. Turned out to be a 49 day wait to get the replacement part from Fiat.

I don't know if this is a normal wait for 'new' car models that have been on the road for three years?
