Dual Mode MAP/MAF Sensor Enhancer Ready to Install

INSTALLING & TUNING

ATTENTION: The tuning procedure calls for clockwise and counter-clockwise rotation of the knob. The idea is that turning knob will “enhance” or “reduce” the voltage.  

The potentiometer can be installed on the dashboard or sit on the console.  To eliminate the work and possible damage to the dashboard, and to enable better control, place the box beside the driver’s seat.  This makes tuning quite effortless. 

Locate the 3 wires connected to the MAP sensor (on older Fords this wire is green).  (The MAF sensor may have up to six wires.  On a newer Fords, this wire is usually green and red in color.)  There will be one for the positive supply voltage, usually 5.  The signal will be the wire with the WEAKER voltage, usually about 0.9 volts and will change with RPM when the engine is started.  There will also be a ground wire, 0 Voltage.  You can solder or crimp these with electrical wire connectors.  If you cannot locate the sensor or the wires, or you're not sure, you'd better get the car's manual.  DO NOT IMPROVISE OR GUESS – you may damage your computer.  Go to AutoZone and purchase the maintenance manual (Haynes) specific to the fuel injection system of your car.  Also, avoid applying a voltage to the MAP Sensor; this may damage the sensor.

You will also have to add O2 Sensor Extenders to the O2 Sensors before the catalytic converters.  (See Below)

ACTUAL TUNING ON THE ROAD

Turn the "City" dial all the way to “rich” (The Dial should point to “0”).  Make sure your HHO Generator is operational. Warm up the engine and drive a while before experimenting with the knob.  For speeds above 40 mph, adjust the "Highway" Dial.

1. DO THE NEXT STEP WITH CARE – ON A SIDE ROAD - JUST IN CASE YOUR ENGINE STOPS UNEXPECTEDLY.

2. Now, start turning the knob; the mixture will turn leaner and leaner until the car stalls or bucks as you drive.
 
3. Back the knob off slightly after the bucking and chugging. Keep the danger of overheating in mind.  If your device is non-operational, temporarily set the enhancer at or near original factory setting (rich).

4. Set points can change from one gas station fuel to another, weather conditions, cold engine, etc. The differences are not large, but if you're on the edge, then the car will buck or vibrate, and you'll need to change the set point a bit.  Remember that this is a simple device.

NOTE: When this device turns on, the "check engine light", and it WILL do that, you can turn off the light using a ScanGauge-II or an OBD-2 Connector (1996 cars or newer).
 

  • MAXIMIZE BENEFITS

    One recent set of road tests (6-16-07) averaged 52.4% better mileage.  But, tests from a week earlier on the same car averaged only 24.5%.  Actually, 22% if you discount idling.  WHY such great difference?

    The secret of the BIG DIFFERENCE between the two test groups: The later and more successful one got MORE THAN DOUBLE the average gain because the MPG was not dialed to near choke point.  It was about ¼ turn closer to factory setting!  

    Don’t overwork the engine by leaning it too much – play around until you find the PERFECT BALANCE point.  

    Note:  The information contained in these instructions is for educational purposes only and cannot substitute for the advice of professional mechanic or authorized dealer.  Don't attempt to repair your car if you don't have proper knowledge and tools, you can be injured and your vehicle could be damaged.  Take your car to a dealer or a repair shop for proper installation.

    To find the MAP Sensor Signal Wire, use a Circuit Tester like the one above to find the correct wire.  You can hook this tester in series with your multi-meter to find the actual voltage of the wires coming out of the MAP Sensor.  The correct wire is the one with the lowest voltage or the one with a voltage that varies when the engine RPM is increased.  Note: This procedure may damage the MAP Sensor so use the Tester to locate the ground with 0 volts and the supply voltage of 5 volts.  The remaining wire is the MAP Signal wire.


    This graph demonstrates the linear properties of the HHO Development MAP / MAF Sensor Enhancer.  By turning the Enhancer dials, you can reduce or attenuate the signal voltage to the ECM.  Please note that the higher the dial setting the greater the increase in the air to fuel ratio. 

    Without attenuation, that is when the dial is set to 0 or the lower switch is set to "Factory", the air to fuel ratio will be maintained at 14.7 parts air to 1 part fuel.   When you begin to turn the dial, this ratio increases according to this graph.  If you turn the dial too far, the engine will shut down due to lack of fuel.
     

     

     

     

     

    OTHER FEATURES – This Enhancer is built for functionality and is a must have for anyone installing a Hydrogen Fuel Cell in vehicles 1996 and newer.

    Sensor to Enhancer Installation

    Oxygen (O2) Sensor Extender


    When adjusting the O2 sensors, you only need modify the signal to the sensors before the catalytic converter.  Many newer cars have O2 sensors on the manifold and O2 sensors after the catalytic converter.  If you have an older car with only one o2 sensor then obviously that is the one that we adjust.

     Frequently Asked Questions

    1. When should I use the “Highway” and “Enhanced” setting?
    Answer: This unit can be switched to the original factory settings by putting the switch in the Original position and is used in this position for cold starts and where conditions such as passing, steep grades or any situation that requires performance is needed. The Enhanced Switch position is used in conjunction with the Highway - City Switch, and the Highway - City Potentiometers which are leaned in to achieve the best mileage in respect to city or highway speeds.  Use the “Highway” setting for speeds above 40 mph.

    2. Do the Oxygen Sensors need to be disabled if I use an Enhancer?
    Answer:     I recommend using O2 extenders shown above.
     
    3. Will the Enhancer work on any make and model vehicle with a MAP Sensor?
    Answer: It will work on MAP Sensors that operate by varying a voltage to the ECU.

    4. Will the Enhancer work with a MAF – Mass Air Flow Sensor?
    Answer:     If the sensor operates by varying a voltage to the ECM, it should work unless the MAF Sensor is frequency varied.  See Next Page…

    Mass Air Flow Sensor Detail 

    The Air Flow Sensor or Mass Airflow Sensor (MAF) is one of the components of an electronic fuel injection system and is found in many of modern vehicles. The Mass Air Flow sensor is usually installed inside the intake air duct between the air filter and the engine. The Mass Air Flow sensor is used to measure the amount of air entering the engine. This measurement is used by the engine computer or ECM to calculate proper amount of fuel injected into the cylinders in order to provide optimum combustion and low emissions.  If your MAF Sensor is voltage varied, incorporate the MAF Enhancer to reduce voltage to the ECM.  (See Below.)
