Gen 1 TR8 & JBR Piping Installed

[mrboostman]

Hey All,
Installed a Treadstone TR8 Intercooler and JBR Piping today. After it was installed CEL and Traction Loss lights came on. Code P0638 came up on the AP. I got the common no throttle response problem. I cleared the code and throttle response was back. I am still getting the code after I clear it each time. Read some threads on the problem and some were caused by foreign objects getting sucked into the throttle body and blocking it up.

It leads me to believe that some metal from inside the TR8 core or some kind of debris lodged somewhere in the intercooler piping got sucked into the throttle body and maybe into the engine.

Some have said their engines have blown after getting the Code P0638.
It is pretty upsetting when you pay money to do an upgrade on a perfectly
running car and end up causing this kind of problem. Ain't that a bitch.

I am not giving up all hope. Tomorrow I will pull the throttle body and hope there is something stuck in there I can remove. If not it is probably already in the engine and may blow soon.

If anyone had a similar problem with this code and knows ways of correcting it, please chime in.

My advise to anyone getting ready to do a similar upgrade would be to maybe blow some compressed air through the core and piping before installing it.

Thanks.
