Sure, all it does is turn the ECU off for a few seconds before cranking...

A fuel pump cut-out switch is just as effective and cheaper to install.

This thing popped up a few days ago, I wrote...


From that website:

Please do not ask for information on how they work etc as this information and design is proprietary and will not be disclosed
That's because they don't want you to know you're being charged $98 for $3 of electrical components in a $5 plastic box!
Salguod, I'd be interested to know how you made yours. Others probably would too. I'm sure it would be a very simple circuit easily constructed by anyone who can read a schematic and solder components. This is such a common problem this info needs to be available the same way the TeamFC3S DIY FCD is.

Hm... So $98 USD is the actual cost of one unit? So why do they say the cost of one is $58 USD? If it's an old price they sure know how to mark-up their prices!

"Once again, the cost of one AFM is $58 USD shipped worldwide. They have a 100% cure rate, a 6 month warranty and a money-back guarantee."

They're $98 Australian. You could still build one for a fraction of that price. Don't get me wrong, I bet it does work perfectly every time as claimed. I just wouldn't pay that much for it.

I put a switch on my car that does the same thing for about $15.00.Don't waste your money.But a cutting the fuel when you turn the car off does help on a turbo.
