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.

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov

      yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?

      That's some really horrible design with the way it's cut/shaped! Is there much damage to the box that failed in? IE, new fork and you can go again, or is it a total rebuild again? Id be trying to build that piece from scratch, and getting some reliefs added in the corner to hopefully stop breakage, and then swapping boxes ASAP, and then doing the same to the currently good working box. I'm assuming hard shifts have not been friendly to it!
