Due to an unfortunate accident, my Haltech get a bit wet. We dried it out as best as possible, but I think there were some ill effects from the water.

My fuel pump has stopped turning on as it is supposed to. Basically, I can turn the key on and the system will prime; however, when I turn the key to start the car, the pump doesn't come back on like it should. Because of this, the car will only run until that initial spurt of fuel burns off (i.e. about 3 seconds).

I'm wondering if there are any places in town that I could take the board to where they could test it for continuity or something. Due to the problems at Haltech, I'm trying to avoid sending it all the way to Australia since there's no telling how long it would take to get it back.

My hopes are that it's possible a solder joint or something that was affected either when it got wet, or when I was drying it. If that's all it is, I'm sure that any shop capable of testing it could also repair a bad joint.

So again, does anyone have any suggestions about where I could take it to get looked at?

Thanks,

Reese

 

I would talk to MR. Electronics. AKA Jon ie SCRX7

 

that blows how did you get it wet ????

 

long story short. . .

I had the Haltech in the stock ECU location. I have the holes left in the firewall from removing the AC lines, etc. I figured that we'd never get enough rain to get that far up and into the car. Sure enough, we did.

HUGE monsoon + unplugged holes in firewall = Haltech getting wet and firing all injectors at once (550s and 1600s).

For a while, it ran perfectly fine after it dried out. It progressively became worse over a month's time until finally it won't keep the fuel pump running after I try to start the car.

 

you guys got a few feet of rain.... holy crap! we have garages in NJ lol
