Hi i recently purchased an apexi power fc for my series 1 r33 its brand new with hand controller i set it up as per the manual that came with it, when i start the car it starts and idles very roughly and it only running on 4 maybe 5 cylinders and is poring bulk fuel into it (all i can smell is fuel) from the exhst. I put the same ecu into my mates car a ser 2 and it runs perfect i can not work out whats going on anyone got any ideas?

Thanks lars

hey man, i had similar probs with mine n it was just the connections on the loom plug bolting to computer, wasnt 100% straight, the reason your smelling fuel is because its not being burnt by 1 or 2 of the cyls so is going into exhaust, try take plug off and retighten it and make sure its on straight to eliminate that...cheers and good luck

Check the plug again and make sure the bolt bottoms out. All bets are on the plug not being 100% true and in as with some cars the bolt can be very stiff to do up making you think its done all the way up but its not. Tripple check. :wave:

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
