Need some assistance with the JET module

Ok I installed the JET module this weekend and I really do not think it is working properly. When I turn the module on and start the car, the engine idles high at like 1500 RPM. When I drive it shifts super hard. This is on a '01 GAGT. I went off the middle blue wire on the TPS sensor and the middle green wire on the MAP sensor. Now the MAP sensor is on the back side of the motor and you have to take 2 screws out to get that small black module off(right in front of the coil packs). The MAP harness plugs into that. I ran the gray wire to the wire that goes down to the sensor(at the bottom of the manifold I assume) and the green to the wire that the harness clip is attached to. Anyone have any input on what I may have done wrong, or any ideas here?? Thanks for any help!

Check your throttle control wire
It is probably loose
This should solve your problem.

I'll try that...they just give you that quick connector...that really seemed to big to me....maybe I will go get a smaller one

I'm 100% sure thats the problem.
The module did the same thing to me at
first then I went back and tightened
things up a bit.

did you tighten the quick connector on the TPS wire or the pink plug into the quick connector? and am I going off all the right wires and have that MAP set up right? does yours shift hard now? do you notice a diff? I just noticed higher shift points, maybe a little more low end power.

Actually I threw out all that quick connector B.S. and just sawdured (I think thats how it's spelled) the whole setup together and retaped it. I didn't notice any difference considering I installed it after my CAI and SLP exhaust.
The main thing is that all the wire touch and then your shifts won't suck. If your not satified with the module box it up and send it back!! That's what I did

and you would wnat to tightened the pink plug into the connector

Thanks for the hints man...I got the SLP and the APOC CAI is on the way.

cool you'll like both of those items.
I'm not sure what the deal with PFYC.com is
but the SLP exhaust isn't on there anymore.
But, www.lmperformance.com still carrys it for our cars.

I have a quick question to add if nobody minds.

I am pretty sure I installed this right, but the car is very late on the throttle. For instance, I will touch the gas, hear my CAI suck and THEN the car will move about 1 sec later. What could I have done wrong?

I have JET Module installed on my car, here are some tips:

1. Throw out all those quick connectors and solder the connections, guaranteed a good connection then.

2. Run (+) power wire from a constant power source, I kept getting SES light otherwse, module shuts off 5-10 sec. after car is off now.

3. Engine will run, idle and shift differently for a day or so anytime you disconnect the battery for more that 20 min.

4. I never noticed a big difference when I first installed my module, but after a week or so I can really notice the difference. No High End flat spot on the highway now.

where did you wire in your constant power at? from the fuse box? I am getting that SES light. Now on the MAP senson wire, which is the middle green wire...the gray wire hooks into the half of the wire that runs to the MAP sensor and the green hooks into the half of the wire that goes to the MAP sensor clip. Am I correct on these hook ups??? and the TPS wire is the middle blue wire right? Now I reinstalled this today and soldered all connections I am still getting rough shifts sometimes, but the LED is working now...should I drive it for awhile with the module on to see if it works it out??

something like that

im pretty sure your not supposed to turn the jet on before you turn on the car. I always turn it on one the car is started. And mine isnt wired into a constant power source and it works fine for me.

Is that true? I heard the other way around..

well i just got mine today. Hopefully I'll be able to install it tomorrow after work. Anyways, in the paperwork that came with it it said to start the car THEN turn the jet module on.

ok...I have mine installed. When you install it, don't use the POS quick connectors...strip the wires and solder the connections. You can find a grommet to run the wires through on the floor board on the passenger side. DONOT turn the module on and off while the car is running...this will give you a check engine light. I mounted my module in the cubby hole right underneath the radio...fits very nice. You will need to run it to a constant power source or when you start the vehicle after is has been running with the module on, the check engine light will appear. Run your power wire to the fuse block...USE A ADD A FUSE adapter..you can get these at autozone. Please do not use the piece of crap brass adapter they give you...this will only destroy one of your fuse connections. All in all I'm not very impressed with this unit...doesn't seem to do much for $200. But that is just my opinion. If you have any other questions I'm sure I could help you

You are telling me to turn it on and then turn on the car, the guy before you is telling me to turn it on after I start the car. If I turn it on and then turn on the car, I get a SVS light and the car doesn't run right (i.e. The throttle picks up about a second late of touching the gas). If I start the car and then turn it on, no more throttle problems, no svs light.

What fuse did you use for it? I just snipped the wire and wrapped the fuse..

Ok your running into the same problem I had with my module. The module needs to be on before you start the car...with the rough idle, you need to switch your MAP wires and I got a unit that is called Add A Fuse....little box that has 2 fuses and a wire running off it that you plug into your fuse box.

If you use a 12V constant power source, it doesn't matter when you turn on the Jet. before ignition, after ignition, driving, whatever. Makes no difference.
