I just received the MP-8 and installed it but when I first started it the idle surges up and down and it sounds like a lot of pre detonation, that was with the MP-8 at 0%. I then took off my smarty program and returned the CPU to stock thinking maybe the smarty wasn't working with it and the truck idle was still surging up and down with what sounded like a lot of pre detonation, still the MP-8 is at 0%. It threw 5 codes, i think they were throttle position sensor, boost key, water in fuel, something with the cp-3 pump, and i believe one other one. Once i unplugged the MP-8 everything went back to normal

has anybody else run into a problem like this with the MP-8? what do you think the problem is

 

sounds like you had one of the plugs in backwards be very careful when installing the harness due to the plug will fit either way

 

i lined them up so that the clips would clip onto the fitting, i first thought that myself but i unplugged everything and hooked it all back up again

 

You possably got a bad one, it happens every now and again. Call them and I'm sure they will take care of you. Joe

 

Try double/triple checking all connections...maybe get some di-electric grease to put on the connections...also are you sure you got sent the correct one for your year???

 

Di-electric grease on all your connections. It helped with mine.

 

the owner hasnt chimmed in but he cleaned the connections and **** its a beast! he launched in 4wd at 20psi and the whole truck jumped up and went sideways!!!... i need a 3rd gen

 

Nah, You just need a P-Pump!

 

ive thought of that i just do to much daily driving for it. the thing is i can get a pump for free

 

i was thinking of purchasing an TSP MP-8. i'm not up to speed with programmers and chips as much as some of you guy's(guru's).
are they of good quality? will it reduce the engines reliability? i have read that it was a "pressure box". what does that mean? the one feature i do like is the "on the fly" adjustability. thanks for the education

 

yes it is a pressure box, it raises the injection pressure. i have one, and i like it a lot, you can feel a seat of the pants difference.

it is however strong enough to crack injectors, i havent had any probems with mine, but i have bigger injectors

 

good Lord! i don't want to kill this awesome CTD. is there another route to increased performance w/o hurting the reliabilty? thanks

 

Smarty all the way!!! And now you can adjust RP with the new REVO, and REVO TNT!!!

You can almost custom tailor your RP, Timing, and shift firmness with the new software!
