My first thought was either for the tranny or the TIP sensor. Solenoids, if he has the OEM ones, are black clips.

Thats correct. no Carlisle for me this year.

Because i had no room there. My washer bottle takes up most of that space there. The tan plug is the TIP sensor one. im pretty sure thats what its called, yes i throw a code for it but no more codes on the solenoids ones as i hooked the solenoids onto the connectors and just hid the solenoids.

You definitely need a TIP sensor or you're going to throw a MAP/TIP correlation code.

Yeah and your car will fall on its face everytime you go into boost.

Sorry to say but dealer. Or see if you can get on online. Modern sells them but for the stage 3.

Neon4Life · Post by **Neon4Life** » Sun Jun 19, 2011 2:05 pm

DAM. i see rockauto has em for $54.89 im going to call dealer tomorrow & see if they can have it by tuesday if not then ill order it from rock auto

Umm does anyone know if there's a difference between 03 & 04 srt4 TIP sensor since 04 came stage 1 just wondering if still used the same TIP sensor. Just making sure before I order the wrong thing tomorrow.

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Sun Jun 19, 2011 2:41 pm

You can usually find them used on SRTForums for around $15 or so. There's no difference in the TIP sensors unless you have a 3 bar Stage 2/3 sensor (which you would need the corresponding S 2/3 map sensor and a rescale for it to work). You also need the red vacuum line hooked up to the cold side pipe for the TIP to work. It has two vacuum lines, a white one that attaches to the sensor and goes to the solenoid and a red one that goes to the cold side pipe.

Just make sure it's the stock one and NOT a three bar. Your car won't run right with a 3 bar.

Engine bay looks great! I wonder if that radiator pipe idea works on the 2.0 L engines.

Neon4Life · Post by **Neon4Life** » Sun Jun 19, 2011 6:43 pm

Thanks Crystal- messaged him already.

Tam- yes I'm sure you can make it work on your engine.

Umm I probably should try to drive the car then till I get the TIP sensor in rite..

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Mon Jun 20, 2011 10:49 am

I wouldn't drive it without it. It's going to run horrible. They correlate the boost with each other. And if one of the lines isn't there all hell breaks loose similar to what the MPX TB does (POS that it is)

I received one off the forums and I will not be using it. Let me know if you want it.

Neon4Life · Post by **Neon4Life** » Tue Jun 21, 2011 12:47 pm

Well been finishing up on some things here & there. Car still isnt running 100% good im guessing due to TIP sensor not hooked in but im waiting on it to arrive. heres a test run video i did earlier.. recorded with my friends Phone ( EVO ). once everything is good then ill whip out the cam and recorded in HD setting. umm yes i know my hood is open in the vid but we kept oppening the good to make sure stuff wasnt coming unhooked and after i go up the street and stop u can hear the car stay in high revv for a sec. thats because i dont know. still trying to figure that out. may be cause of the not having my TIP sensor on yet. well see tomorrow. anyways heres the vid.

LET ME KNOW IF ANYONE HAS TROUBLE VIEWING THE VIDEO, I ADDED A GUEST PASS AND TESTED IT AND IT SHOULD WORK FINE FOR VIEWING.

Thanks & yes it is. sounds better in person or when i shooot another vid in HD

skaterking411 wrote:Congrats man! let's do mine now haha

LMAO. sure why not. im pretty sure we could get it running first time and not on the 100th time like me.

UriahRR wrote:Damn, that's nice man. Now I want a turbo again...

yeah it sounds awesome in person even with my exhaust leak in the midpipe. bbahahahahaha.

on another note, just a few ago my friend came over in his srt so we took the TIP sensor off his and plugged it into mine, i had then finished fixing my other vac leak i had so we took it for a drive, well first 5 seconds gas light came on.. she drove better than earlier and pedal felt dam good. once we tried getting above 3k RPM she wouldnt boost but we could just shift normally at 2500 rpm and it would be fine.. then we tried swapping out the map sensor from his to mine thinking maybe mine had taken a shit.. still nothing, actually this time it stumbled upon take off so we was done for the night. umm anyone think that me be low on gas could cause this..? & my then it was throwing the P1187 code. blah.

LowNSlow · Post by **LowNSlow** » Tue Jun 21, 2011 9:55 pm

Uh..... of course the gas would cause it to stumble... you should still be able to boost but who knows.

I know it'd stumble and run like shit... put some 93 octane in it.

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Tue Jun 21, 2011 10:11 pm

You're getting almost all of the issues that you're explaining (and the car revving itself when you first pulled over to the curb) because of the lack of TIP sensor. Not only that but the vac line NEEDS to be run to the coldside pipe (red) and to the tip sensor (white) and then to the solenoid in order for the car to correlate the two correctly.

Midnight_Rider · Post by **Midnight_Rider** » Wed Jun 22, 2011 12:27 am

Good thing that you missed that pickup as you were zooming down the street...

Neon4Life · Post by **Neon4Life** » Wed Jun 22, 2011 6:31 am

LowNslow- yes I use 93, ill go get some more today. Hopefully my sensor arrives today.

Crystal- yes I knew my problem was due to the no Tip sensor becaue when I plugged it in & upon startup the engine immidiately sounded better & pedal felt better as well.

Gramps- no worries as I was barely moving anyways..maybe 20mph and there's no stop sign going down as I was headed but where the truck was there is a stop sign.

When I get my sensor in today I'm gonna try something different.. like I think maybe I had the wastegate too far out & that's why no boost mode happened. Well see.

Sweet deal man. Nice neighborhood too lol

Neon4Life · Post by **Neon4Life** » Wed Jun 22, 2011 4:12 pm

Yeah its a pretty nice neighborhood, I'm the only one that makes noise lol.

Anyways stupid senso didn't arrive today but I did however adjust my wastegate some & got gas. Now I have plenty.. its past half a tank. Lolz. Ill update when I get the sensor & if i Boosts or not.

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Wed Jun 22, 2011 9:04 pm

Do you have the vacuum lines hooked up and ready to go? Did you ever get a factory solenoid?

Neon4Life · Post by **Neon4Life** » Wed Jun 22, 2011 9:06 pm

yes

&

you talking about the boost solenoids.. had em, came with my wiring harness.

LilSparkPlug · Post by **LilSparkPlug** » Wed Jun 22, 2011 9:08 pm

Good

So you're ready to go then?

Neon4Life · Post by **Neon4Life** » Wed Jun 22, 2011 9:11 pm

pretty much. just sat around all day being bored cause i didnt have sensor, now i gotta work tomorrow evening so i hope sensor comes in early so i can plug it in and see what happens and hopefully drive car to work once again if everything works fine.
