I bought a used power fc, how do I reset it to the base map?

 

If you have the Commander, it's...

ETC (NEXT)
ALL DATA INITIALIZE (NEXT)
ARE YOU SURE? (NEXT)

 

Ok so I did what you said with the commander. I turned the key on and the check engine light does not come on, that can't be good. Haha. But it works fine with the stock ecu

 

When you get to (are you sure) part hit next and you must turn the key to the off position and then back to ACC to reset to the factory map.

The check engine light does not come work with the Power Fc. That’s why you get the sensor check option with the power fc. That way you can see which sensor readings are off.

 

Ok. I reset te power fc and my car will not start... I did what the instructions said and plugged the stock ecu back in, start Your car and then plug the power fc in... Still nothing... Now what?

 

Ok. I did the sensor check. And the highlighted areas are...
PIM
VTA 1
VTA 2
VMOP

what are those sensors?

 

see this thread https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generation-specific-1993-2002-16/how-make-your-untuned-pfc-basemap-safer-idle-better-no-datalogit-needed-841706/

 

Check that the turbo control feature in the /etc->functions menu is turned off. It should be the first setting, and off starts with what looks like a "t" in jap. That may be what's causing the car to not turn on.

 

The sequential turbo control setting has no effect on low load situations. All it does is change the behavior of the wastegate control, precontrol, charge control, charge relief, and turbo control solenoids. None of these solenoids do anything when the engine is out of boost.

I actually have sequential turbo control enabled on my single turbo car. This keeps the PFC boost control system functioning so that you can control boost on a single turbo car using the PFC.

 

Ok. Well I just replaced my OMP the sensor shouldn't be bad... Where is the sensor

 

I read in one of the guides i don't remember which now, that the turbo control setting is only supposed to be on when you have the PFC turbo control kit installed, and if you didn't it might cause your car to not start?

 

Take to car to someone who KNOWS FDs.

 

Maybe on Power FC's for cars other than the Rx-7, but on an Rx-7 it makes no difference in any engine operation that is unrelated to boost control.

 

You had the same problem I had. All my sensors were good and the car ran perfectly on the factory ECU. If your FD runs on the factory ECU then you may have a bad PFC, I did.

Just ***** and grins, what is the SN # of your PFC? I sent my broken one back to the original seller, and it wouldn't be beneath him to lie to others and sell it to someone else

mine was PFC FD3S4 020-1409

 

I sold him that PowerFC. It ran in my car just fine. I have no reason to lie. I also loaded up the stock map for him through my Datalogit. I didn't know you could do it through the commander :/
