Story of the day folks.
I finally got my car to idle with the stock ecu. well when i plugged in the PFC, it didn't want to start, so stupid me kept on cranking,(no patience) so the car flooded.
spitting fuel right out of engine.

anyways 2 hours later i decided to pull plugs out and crank the eng. to flush. Well to make it short, I forgot to disconnect power to coils.

Poof goes the engine bay, luckily I am a well prepared mechanic and had a extinguisher ready.
end of fire, yeh.

checked everything, everything good, no damages, went back to flushing.

Tomorrow, troubleshoot flooding issues.

Just a warning for the people out there, I was lucky, very lucky, at least I hope.
Being these cars can flood easily and all, I would hope people dont make the same mistake I did, and always be prepared.

Try some degreaser and a hose in your engine when you get it up and running. This will help eliminate petroleum build up.

Hmmm your car wouldnt start with the PFC in? My buddys car did the same thing.. His got shorted out when he cut the pins. So my first question is did u cut your pins?

nless7

cut the pins, no I cut the whole sections of wires that I didnt needed, sections PFC wouldnt care about, but I have heard of PFC being tempermentle like u said, And I do know u have to ground it, to make it happy

I think PFC is flooding the car cus the stock ecu does just find. I still a little shock over the fire incident so I'll wait for the weekends to go back to the battle.

Thank you for ur replies guys.

mine shorted out from the commander, not from the pins being cut. But yeah... was fuel literally pouring out? Cuz thats what mine did when it shorted
