where's terry when you need him

AU335 · 01-04-2008, 09:59 PM

first issue i have heard of with the Hot pill.

Ive been running it for awhile now and its been perfect since Day 1.

Are you sure you installed the resistor in the right pins? My only suggestion is to try reinstalling it and see if you can create the problem again. Also, email Terry and get his opinion.

The fan issue is normal...Just turn the car off and on...The fan will correct itself...Ecu for some reason when u mess with it with any tune it makes the fan go nuts...but after shutting the car off and turning it back on, the problem is gone...as for the bucking your need JB users to chime in

Something similar happened to me only when I forgot to put the car to sleep or disconnect the battery before working on the ECU wires.

Sounds like you either installed it incorrectly, or you pissed off the ECU somehow. I installed mine in 10 min max and NOTHING changed on the car other than a bit more power.

hit Terry up via e-mail

Did you disconnect the battery?
Did you conect it between the oem yellow loom and the JB2 loom>?

Sounds like a simple install mistake or a bad resistor, either way Terry will be glad to help you though this!

fullrev · 01-05-2008, 01:39 PM

i put it between pin ten of the large black connector (female) and the male pin of the juice box ( yellow )

battery wasnt connected

AU335 · 01-05-2008, 01:44 PM

So you put it between the OEM yellow female wire that came from slot #10 and the yellow male pin of the JB2 (yellow loom)?

If so, that sounds correct. The exact same way mine is installed and ive had no problems. I would just suggestion checking the wires again and making sure they didnt come apart/bad connection.

i checked them 290348039 times

i think it might be a bad resistor?

i'm going to hit it with a multimeter. whats the ohms suppose to be on the resistor?

Terry mentioned that the H-pill may throw codes in some cars and so your may be one of those; I would just take it out.

1BAD535 · 01-05-2008, 02:00 PM

how much gas do you have?
If you're octane level goes below required it will do what you describe.

What's all this normal issue stuff?? Do you guys have some type of secret forum where you talk about your JuiceBox problems so that the rest of the world doesn't know about it?

lol

I saw on one of Terry's post saying something about the Hot pill being a 270ohm resistor

Isn't it interesting that Terry did not shy from hiding to everyone such information?
