Just went to go for a drive, and my car wouldn't turn over.

Was running fine this morning when I drove it.

I unplugged my SAFCII and it started fine, but it stutters and carries on if I keep the throttle at 2500, or try to drive/rev past it?

If I plug the SAFC back in it won't start again.

The only thing I did earlier today was alter the monitor settings in the SAFC, so different things appeared on the screen.

I didn't touch anything else.

Any ideas at all, this is weird.

How do I totally reset the SAFC?

Hrmmm.... They are symptoms of the AFM not working or not being plugged in...

You can totally reset the SAFC by going to the etc menu and choosing initialise... Make sure first that the sensor settings are HW4 in and out, and 1/1 in the next step...

Also check to make sure the AFM is plugged in OK... Check with another AFM if possible...

Let us know how you go... It sounds like the SAFC is a bit confused...

Well if u got the same symptoms when you unplugged teh AFM, then it is def an AFM problem. Go to the chk sensor menu and see if you get any voltage reading for the "In-1". If you do, then the AFM is plugged to the SAFC correctly. So check the ECU - SAFC connection.

    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
