so, thanks again paul. I un ticked all the settings and now parameters are shown in the commander.

regards.

the only problem is that now it starts but after 1 or 2 seconds i t dies :ermm:

After any change it was running good.

But, if i crank it and keep pressing and depressing the gas very quickly, it stays at 4000 RPM. It runs very weird ant extremely rich. And as soon as i stop pressing the gas it dies.

could it be beacause of the unlock i did?

thanks.

i would do this

save your tune

make sure you have a copy of it

make sure you have a backup of the copy

DATA INIT the EVO PFC

restart the car

do a READ ALL in datalogit and save the stock maps

then compare those to what you have, it might be something simple

doing a data init would save the MAP sensor settings?

BTW, is it possible that the problem i'm having is due to a ECU issue?

Thanks.

no, when you do a DATA INIT, it will erase the entire tune back to defaults

the default map will be what apexi set the standard map on the EVO PFC to

hmmm....

so i'll have to use the map calibration saved in the map.

Thanks a lot paul, i'll try this and let you know if i get any good result.

BTW, what is that about a Tuner String???

Edited by chip

send us your saved datalogit tune, ill check it vs the stock evo maps

the tuner is string is from apexi fc pro and datalogit

its used to tag features in datalogit, ie anti lag and other junk

ignore it

So this is a power fc PRO???

Thanks.

no, the term FC Pro is misleading by apexi. its covered in the powerfc faq in my sig

FC Pro is software apexi use to tune powerfc's.

the 1st generation of powerfcs were only tunable by the hand controller

the 2nd generation of powerfcs were plastered with silver "FC PRO" stickers on the side of the case and were tunable by the hand controller and software apexi made (and later sold to the public). the software is apexi fc pro and it lets you connect it to your computer / laptop.

the common misconception is that any powerfc that has the original silver "FC Pro" sticker on the side of the case meant that is an Apexi PowerFC Pro unit. this meant it contained 0km/h launch control and spark cut instead of fuel cut. The silver "FC pro" sticker acctually indiciates that you can connect it to the apexi's FC Pro software

Paul, thank you VERY MUCH mate.

I did the data init and it started great. It tooked some time for idle to settle down but it's runing great.

Map sensor scaling seems to be working fine.

No i just need to tune it.

Once again, thank you indeed.

PS: If i need more help i'll contact you :)

now that the car is working etc, you should be able to open your old tune in datalogit and do a WRITE ALL

to put the tune back to its previous unlocked state

it may be a datalogit bug where unlocking certain tunes mangles stuff

but the tune itself is OK, so if you save it, DATA INIT, write the tune back its all OK

if you have unstable idle read the PFC FAQ For self install

theres a 30 min self idle you are supposed to do when you do DATA INIT

    • Kinkstah, no, coilovers aren't illegal, especially as a bolt straight in. The illegal part will be if they're altering suspension geometry beyond factory limits, or the ride height is not legal.   Sounds like the blue slipper just didn't want to deal with any later possibility of mods appearing on the car.
    • The problem has always been that coilovers are able to be adjusted, almost at any time, to be too low. Most people who ever get/got defected for/with coilovers were actually afoul of the minimum ride height rule. So the interpretation by cops/inspectors was always that it is pointless to allow numpty to raise his coilovers and get the car inspected/cleared, then just drop them back down again as soon as they get around the corner from the inspection station.  This led to the interpretation that they were illegal unless rendered such that they can't be adjusted (ie, collars welded to the body, that sort of thing). That may or may not have ever actually been the official line, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered to be a solution these days. Coilovers themselves fall under clause 3.2 b of that manual, because they are an "installation of a variable ride height system" and they don't fit the exclusions in that clause (which point to air springs and other pneumatic adjusters). So, as per previous statements, they require engineering cert to be legal on the road. Once you have such cert, provided you do not adjust them outside the height range covered by the cert, you are OK. Without, you have an unroadworthy vehicle.
    • Here E10 is the cheapest fuel. And general advice is to not use it unless you hate your car. From what I remember it clogs up stuff in the fuel system or injectors?  With US/Canada being E10 across the board, does that mean that all fuel there is terrible?
    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW ) Edit: I checked. They aren't. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-infosheet-light-vehicle-modifications-manual-suspension-and-ride-height.pdf
