Lingenfelter 2 step issue
Lingenfelter 2 step issue Thought id post over here too since several people run this.I installed a 002 in my car and working as a 2 step it works great!however when i dont have it activated/off a switch (ie just the coils are connected and its powered on) it will randomly shut the car off, sometimes cruising, and definitely when i get on it.I removed it and the car runs great. Any suggestions?

I assume you are activating it with the 12v and the ground is not being used? Maybe try pulling the activation wire off the switch(es) so that the only thing plugged in is the coil packs. If you still have the same problem, I'd say the controller is bad. If the problem goes away, it is something in your wiring.

Some questions about this. I got one. But its not installed yet. I am wondering since going auto now a few questions.
I think will have line lock and possibly trans brake as well. I would use line lock to do my burnouts in the burnout box and then transbrake to launch with two step.
I was going to hook up the 3 bar map option on the two step to retard timing under boost for antilag .But now hearing retarding timing for antilag really only works with stick cars. and maybe don't really need antilag with the auto ,will have lots of low end anyway with my 408 and 3400 stall and 3.54s. I heard autos like timing advanced and this ling box don't do that. So now thinking just use the nitrous timing retard and two step functions .Does that make sense? I also have a msd window switch to use with the spray.
Also in wiring I don't think would want to have arm and line lock and the two step on same circuit .would i have transbrake and the two step maybe on same circuit and line lock separate if only using line lock for the burnouts not the staging.I am a bit new at this auto racing stuff.
Hope am saying this clearly.

Stick=timing retard
And since you're only using the line lock for the burnout i wouldnt run them on the same circuit. You dont need the T-brake or the 2 step for a burnout anyways. Run the T-brake/2 step off the same circuit and the line lock off a different 1.
I JUST HAD THE SAME ISSUE, my car would just shut off or pop really bad and backfire. i sent it to lingenfelter and they tested it. said it was 100% ok and nothing is wrong. i havent got it back yet but hopefully this week. i still dont know what it is
forgot to add, car runs perfect without it.

I spoke with LPE.....apparently plugs and plug wires being used can cause this. I told them I run NGK TR8's and Taylor high temp wires. They suggested i go back to stock wires and see what happens.
actually thats quite a coincidence that we both have the same issue and both run Taylor hi temp wires.....there could be high frequency interference between the LPE 2 step and that particular brand of plug wires. Im going to try and swap back to stock and see what happens.
