Hi guys,

Just installed SAFC I today by mechanics, dunno if they installed it correctly, since when i go into 'Monitor' --> '4 Channels' its shows the revs go up as i accerlate, also the air flow and correc. BUT NOT 'Trottle'

Throttle is always at 0% is this correct?

The main issue here is i want to reset the settings completely or change everything to value 0?

so that my car doesnt act so spastic, when i accerlate,

At the moment when i acceralte-moving to certain RPM's the car fully jerks (reminds me wen i first learnt manual) and sometimes the car seems like it will stall when dropping its REV's

Very dicculty to drive

Can some please help

where should i set the values to 0.

and dont say get it DYNOED as i will not untill i have an exhaust!!!

thanks

when i change it to "04" "04" the cars rev starts droppin then the car turns off.

i figure '04' do to the table for my vechile. and i read the manual

"If. Sensor type is 'Hotwire' ...............

"if Sensor type is Pressure'...........

nothing beside it, looks like a bad pdf scan? a blur line in the pdf.

page 28 of the pdf

Yeah.. make sure you get the sensor type correct. I remember dicking around with that setting at one point. If its incorrect basically your engine check light will stay on and wont start. If you do a search on here you should be able to find out the base settings to at least be able to drive around until you get it dyno tuned.

THR should visible on the screen (% to full floor accelerator). Even if its just in ACC mode (e.g. not running), you should be able to press your foot to the floor and see the % THR change. If its not changing then its possible your mechanic forgot to connect the correct line to the ECU.

I've got an S-AFC I as well, so if you want the base settings and still having trouble PM me and I'll go turn my car on :P

omg Throttle % does not rise as i accerlate, only the airflow % & rev %

guess mechanic f*** the wiring? =

ill pop the ecu out later and take a look.

yes please with standard settings, just in case i left anything out

dont do it with the engine running...  just turn the key on until the reds come on in the dash...  perform the settings... turn the car off and then start it...

hehe thx,

i remember when i went to pick up my car, my hands got itchy so i played around with the settings, but was only meant to check the Monitors menu at the red lights.

somehow went to ETC and selected a wrong sensor

Revs dropped and my car stalled right in a Hwy (80 kph) road. :)

had to jump start it, as the battery was raped when trying to start it 20 times.

When connecting my SAFC-I this week we noticed the manual doesn't actually tell you to connect the throttle wire. I had the SAFC-II manual as well and had to use that to wire the throttle. For some reason it only reads 85.8% foot flat to the floor though.

mupkant: went out to check my SAFC(1).. sensor type should be definitely "hotwire" (referring to the AFM I think). Check your voltages in "sensor check" while the engine is off. Sensor1: should be reading a reasonable value (around 1v or something). Sensor2: should be reading around 0v (mine was fluctuating between 0 - 0.1v). Again, THR voltage should increase as you put foot to the floor.

Definitely sounds like your problem is the lack of the THR line.. check the loom near your ECU to see whether its wired up.

neil:se -> go into the "sensor check" mode off "etc" and check the voltages.. mine at 100% THR (foot about 90% to floor) is about 4.35v. I'd check you're connections, maybe its dropping a bit of voltage due to dodgy solder job, etc. It could make a difference to overall effectiveness if the THR is out a bit.

    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
