Angry New Power FC - Car won't start


I have been searching. I started a thread in the PFC forum. But, there isn't much going on over there.

Background: I picked my car up tonight. New engine installed along with GReddy SMIC, APEX Intake, DP, MP, CB.

Obviously, I am in my break-in period. I drove the car home (80 miles) slowly (less than 3K rpms and no boost).

Excited! I installed my new PFC with commander. THE CAR WON"T START! I re-checked my work. Everything is fine. CAR STILL WON'T START. I switched back to the stock ecu. The car started right up. The PFC seems to be working correctly.

PFC came from SR Motorsports.

What's the deal? I am sure it worked at one time. They had to install maps and check it out.

Is there a simple fix?

Has anyone experienced this?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

PFC won't start

Open the PFC ecu box, and double check the 4 wires that SR clipped from the PFC box are the correct 4 clips, *maybe* just *maybe* one might clip in mistake and cut the fuel pump.

Cool try this...

...disconnect the commander, then try starting the car and reconnect the commander after starting your car.

I will try both. Thank you for the help. If it doesn't work, SR will be back in on Monday. Back to breaking in the car!

welcome to the world of apexi.

good luck with your car!

watch for a really bad loping idle...though it should settle down eventually.
