What RB30 POWER said, if you put them on in the wrong order then you'll fry your ecu. If its a series 2 33 then it tells you where to hook in the power cables, if its a 32 or series 1 33 then just take care. Often the problem is because the ground cable isnt good enough and frys everything. i've often seen the RACV hook up the ground to the engine. Also use a cable that has a fuse in it or one of those fancy schmancy electronic ones that measure's voltages and current.

Just make sure when you connect the negative lead to the donor car which should generally happen last you connect it to the engine block or other chasis earth point.

If you connect it to the battery directly it can cause a spark, and because the batteries give off Hydrogen Gas it can explode.

This does happen, read/seen numerous cases of it happening and the results are nasty.

Ive jump started 2 other cars with my car, and had my car jump started about 4 times now (damn turbotimer and leaving headlights on!)

Nothing has ever happened, but i do put the leads on in the correct order. I dont earth the leads to the chassis though.

    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
    • Nice, that's not laggy swtching between functions at all. Could it be less laggy than the factory one below? 😋
