Disconecting Battery and PFC

[OnTheBoost]

As im going away for 4-6months and wont be able to see my baby and dont trust any one to drive it. I want to disconect the battery but will this affect my PFC settings or cause any other elec probs???

thanx

do you want to make sure the car cannot be started at all, or do you just not want someone thrashing it?

because i think i read somewhere that you can set the pfc to a certain setting then disconnect the hand controller, and the car will shut down if revs reach over 3k.

i'll see if i can find it.

You will find that after that amount of time the PFC will drain of all residual memory and you will be left with any base mode that it came with.

You are better off removing the coil ignitor or something like that. If someone really wanted to start your car, it would not be hard to get a battery into it. With the ignitor, I don't know of anyone who just carries one around with them so the chances of anyone stealing it or driving it are virtually nil.

Have you experienced this? Manual states that memory of PFC settings is not effected by battery power, or lack of it.

I'd recommend having your car started for you every week atleast. If you can find someone trust-worthy then you might want them to roll it up and down the street so the tyres don't deteriorate (if that happens?).

My car is awaiting engineering and un-reg'd but I still run the engine and roll it around the driveway.

Yeah I had a friend that read the same manual. He disconnected the battery when he went to Japan for 6 months. Lost his tune when he cam back. We dunno why.

There are still more effective ways to prevent people from driving your car like I suggested above. This would be a far better option than disconnecting the battery. Also with the tyre thing. Pump all your tyres to 50 psi before you leave and you will not have that problem. My car sat for 8 months and the tyres are still perfect.
