What happen is that i just got my power fc and avc-r install by the professional (recommended) workshop. Quite impress with the result at 210 krw, to cut the story short. While driving home the car stall on me. Can't start... tow the car back home. A friend look at it's for a number of hours looking at the fuel pump, battery, alternator, starter motor seem to be fine. He then tested all the fuses underneath the right hand steering colum using a multi-meter and found 1 of the fuse been burn

Crank up the car and it's seem to start up... We notice that the check "engine" picture appear on the display. Quickly he turn the car off then on again after a fews minutes... Coincidently one of the spark die so we just left it there to continue tommorrow.

My question while we got the car start it's again, but other problem start to happen... could it's be after the car been tune the car is running too rich/ to lean or there is a serious short circuit somewhere in the electrical area?

PS. At the dyno place the old NGK iridium die, so they replace with platinum serie. We have try to put the old ECU back, but it's dosent seem to start... wonder why????????

Any advice will become valuable... much appreciated!

    • 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?
