33 Gtst - Fitting Pfc, Not Running On 6 Cylinders?

[Mr. Untouchable]

Hi ppl,

I have a 33 GTST series 1.

Full exhaust, split dump then 3.5" from there back.

Splitfires

Apexi pod

FMIC

A autobahn88 silicone intake from pod to turbo.

Also running no BOV

plugs have done 9 thousand kays

got home from work, car was warm, and was running great.

Just fitted My PFC, I hit the ignition, set the boost kit to off ( to the little japo symbol that looks like a plus sign) started it, ran like shit, after 10 mins I hit the AC, then after 20 mins I turned on the demister, after 30 mins I let it run for a further 2 mins, shut car off, started it again, hit the throttle a tad, say to 2000 RPM and sounds like its running on 4 cylinders.

any ideas or input will be greatly appreciated

cheers

jsut checking - to be sure, to be sure

put the stock ECU back in - confirm it runs Ok and isnt mssing/ running on 4 cyclders

then if its OK and stable etc open up the FC look for burnt tracks or damaged components

is the FC new or used ? did you do factory DATA INIT before starting the car ?

[Mr. Untouchable]

i bought it brand new from access autoworks.

what do you mean factory data INIT? all i did was turn the boost control kit off and then turned the key and did the 30 minute idle set with , 10 mins of idle, another 10 with A/C on then the last 10 with demister on?

[paulr33]

nah i thought it might have been 2nd hand

ie: someone else's tune and wierd settings on it

try stock ecu and confirm car works ok

[Mr. Untouchable]

will do now

[darrinspencer]

Had similar problem with mine, pluged in the power Fc and ran 4 cyc, put the factory ecu back in, ran on 6.

Put power Fc back in and realised the factory plug on the wiring loom gets a curve in it if the bolt is over tightened.

Either loosen the bolt or put cable ties around the plug and power Fc to pull the ends in tight. Ran perfect after that.

[Mr. Untouchable]

okay, just pulled out Power FC, put stock ecu back in, and its fine running just sweet again

??

[paulr33]

try the FC again and check the connector

[OFENSV]

yeah you need to make sure the connector is fully home right across, happend to me when i fitted my wolf to my old 33, just wasnt fully plugged in
