Bought mine a little over a year ago for $850 including the AEM 3.5 bar MAP sensor. Bought a get started tune from Bob Kurgan.
AEM EMS users please take a look.
I've been a anderson ford motorsport PMS user for almost 4 years now. I have loved it, and never had any problems with it, but I'm ready for a change. Maybe just looking to learn something new. from what i've been reading this AEM EMS is supposed to be all that. I'm considering any stand alone that people would recommend. I'm not trying to find something extrememly difficult to use either. I was wondering what people had to say about their experience with this as opposed to another tuning device. What are the Pro's and cons.. how long to hook up, how long to get the car running, driving, and how hard it it actually to just dial in a rough tune? I'm driving a 93 cobra, but i have an A9L computer in it, so i'd assume ijust want the regular version of the EMS? I'm no tuner, but i have tuned myself on my PMS all this time, so i figure i should be fine adapting to the EMS with some tech help from you guys. Thanks in advance for your response.

The only issue I have relates to a slight surge/pulse when cruising between 50 - 60 mph. I've data logged all the parameters that I felt may be causing it but haven't been able to isolate the source of the problem. There are no tuners around me for 100's of miles let alone one familar with the AEM. I'm half toying with the idea of taking a late spring drive (2000 mi) to have Bob Kurgan give the car a final tune. The car is a SN95 (94 GT AODE). Engine easily spins to 6500 rpm without issue but I have set the AODE shift points at 5600.Toyman, how is this AEM working with your KB? Is this on Fox or Modular car? I'm thinking of buying from Bob and having him install/ tune my new 347 with this system. I am puzzled by the move to coil packs though. I'm going to be calling him to discuss, but I wanted to know how your car drives with this system.
Thanks.
Thanks for the tip. Car is still parked for the winter but I've copied your reply and will log the Decel fuel cut.Log Decel fuel cut and see if it's going in and out of fuel cut when the issue is occuring. What is most likely happening is the load/rpm/tps values that setup decel fuel cut are most likely off and causing the bucking at light throttle cruise. I'm willing to bet the load/tps setting for decel is not right and it's cutting fuel too early.
Checking my Options - Fuel Decel I have:
Fuel off above RPM 2500
Fuel off below load -10.20 PSIg
Fuel off below TPS 3.12 %
Fuel off coolant 32*F
Anything you see as being askew? Looking at a log that I ran just before parking it for the winter I would guess it's the load value. Am I correct in the assumption that a value of say -11 is below -10.2?
That's sort of like asking "how high is high". I would suggest that you contact Bob Kurgan and have him provide a baseline tune based on your setup and tweek it from there as you become familar with the program.how long will it take me to set this thing up for my car to start it and be able to drive and start tuning on it?
[/QUOTE]or is this a detailed guestimate of what your car should need to get close to running half decent?
In my case that's what I got. A couple of phone calls to make a few minor adjustments, explanations and then to a tuner (could be you) to work on the details. The only tuner I had access to was located 300 miles away over two mountain ranges and with no experience using the AEM. It got me there okay but I kept rpm's under 3K to be on the abundantly safe side.

LOL now you tell me. You still might get a call to sort out a few issues. At least I can find my way around AEMPro a little better now than last year.i remember that... i was probably more nervous then YOU LOL!
well after a ton of adversity, i'm not back on track here trying to set my car up with this AEM.. right now the car is breaking up pretty bad around 1/2 throttle. i'm not sure why and i've been trying to look for timing errors, but where is that even at because i can't seem to find it.
Timing errors can be view/logged in the troubleshooting window parameters.
Still haven't figured that out yet, i put all new plugs in it and dialed the a/f in, but it still breaks up no matter what i do... I guess something is still wrong mechanically somewhere or electronically.
Try changing the coil dwell factor. For a reference mine is set at 20 with Dwell max 1.0 and min 0.10.
It's the button with an ambulance on it on the tool bar. Or you can pull up any parameter window unlock it and select any tuning parameter from the drop down menu that appears when you click on the empty boxWhere is this located? Thanks!
at the bottom of the list.
