Lazy-Bastard

but I haven't touched the SAFC or ECU wiring...how could it have just suddenly happened??? For the moment I have have wired a switch to the fuse concerned and have to turn the switch off and then on each time I turn the car off. Interestingly when I turn the switch off I hear a click from the ECU area which sounds the same as the noise which used to come from there when I turned the ignition off before this problem started.....this is what makes me think it's a relay problem...but as I said I have NFI when it comes to auto electrics

OH...and the EBC must be on the same circuit cause it's doing the same thing...

Thanks Andrew....here's a funny thing though.....Turn ignition off, SAFC stays on...so I pull the fuse and the SAFC turns off, but I put the fuse straight back in and the SAFC stays off until I turn the ignition back on..... any ideas?

is it a type M bar?

Nope....the only wires that I fiddled with were the 4 wires that go to the AFM.... Do you reckon there would be a relay somewhere in the 12V line that would, if blown, cause the SAFC to exhibit this sorta problem....just a stab in the dark, cause I have NFI:rolleyes: Did I mention how much I hate auto electrical stuff....

ditto....depending on the date, I'll be there....$150 is pretty steep though considering it only costs about $50 to do the saturday sprints, so the price would have to come down a bit

I posted this in the general automotive section but don't really know if that was the right place, so I am posting here again for our local "SAFC hero" I was having some trouble with the wiring on my AFM plug. There was a dodgy connection somewhere in there which was causing the AFM to die whilst driving along and essentially cutting power cause the ECU thought it was getting no air. So, being the dodgy bastard I am (that's right...not just lazy...I am a man of many talents ), I decided to remove the plug altogether and just hook the 4 wires up to some female spade connectors (if that makes sense). When connecting back to the AFM I got 2 of the wires mixed up and managed to blow the fuse that the SAFCII get it's power from. The car would turn over, but wouldn't start. It took me a few hours and a couple of rewiring attempts, including pulling the AFM plug apart and soldering the wires back in to realise where the problem was. I replaced the blown fuse and the car fired up fine and all the reading from the SAFC seem to be fine. The problem now is that when I turn the car off, the SAFC STAYS ON and I have to pull the fuse (the one that blew before) to get it to turn off. I suppose I could do some more dodgy wiring to get around the problem, but I was wondering if anyone with some auto electrical experience or someone who is fairly familiar with the installation and functions of SAFCII's could point me in the right direction. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

lucky you're not a mod anymore then huh Not MR. Mum yet, but not long to go now

I'll offer you $151...... nah....just shittin' you....and trying to wind strutto up

*cough* feeling sick *cough* bound to come down with something on that date if I can't get out of work

sorry guys, you will have to re-shedule....I'm working that day :) j/k If I can swap shifts, I'll be there for sure

I have been toying with the idea of getting my rims powdercoated white (you know I'm a sucker for white rims). I reckon it would be pretty cheap, probably about $200 odd bucks, but I haven't done any investigation yet. There are a few places around that do rim repairs etc, but I have no idea of any names. So there you go....no use whatsoever really :wassup:

nice one geezer...are you planning on extending the family?

Nice work Wados...my only question is ...why the extra join between the 180 degree bend and the straight pipe?

yup

I did .....completely undetected :bahaha:

ummmmm...pass, thanks for the offer though:rolleyes:

I could always buy it off you and save you all that trouble

maybe we should swap names cyrus

Do you have a SII grill? I WANT ONE TOO!!!!!! and a stealth wing god damnit!!!

lol...whatever does it for you.....

whats this I hear about a front grill?.....

morning cyrus
