First of all it just revs high as tits, like 1300 plus, and when you put the throttle down it wont let me go past 3500.

The car is a 32gtst.

ive intialized it just need it to run on basic settings so i can get around with it.\

Cheers

well u are affecting air flow signal, and the cut sounds like and afm problem, did it come off a running car, cos i have seen these stuff up b4 and ppl changing ten afm before realising that it was the safc all along, also did u hook up the wires right, remember when piggy backing with ecu's u have to double check everything, sometimes the hardest problem is the easiest thing, recheck all your color codes and the in and out signal wires, make sure u went of the right diagram.

initializing it isn't enough, you have to set a few of the settings so the safc knows a few things, throttle type, no of cyl, afm type. if these aren't set right it wont run properly.

yeah dont even bother trying to run it without doing the initial setup, like choosing 6cyl, throttle type, afm type etc. download the manual from somewhere and follow the steps. its pretty easy to get running.

there was a DIY thread on the safc install, compare it to see if you done the wiring right too.

ok.. i got the car going.. but its still jumpy throughout the rev range. i looked at the safc install guide and thats exact how i did it really, At the end of the day, its only the afm i really fiddled with, so its could really be that connection or the safc settings right???

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
