PFC Repair

Anyone know where I can get my PFC repaired? I have this issue with the plug where the commander plugs in. It must be shorting something out, and makes the car run awful, it feels like I'm towing a trailer or something to that effect. Its kinda intermittent, but I think I have narrowed it down to that.

I believe its the plug on the PFC its self, just because I have a datalogit and even when I just plug that in it does it with out the commander. I did open it up to see if any pins might be loose or what not, but nothing loose or burnt looking.

Unless there is a hard reset button that I don't know about, then have done a software reset and tried different versions with no change.

that sucks, nothing needs to be plugged to that outlet what makes you suspect it could be the plug for the commander? are you sure this problem is with the power-fc try switching to the stock ecu.

I had a modified ECU and sold it.........Well I just figure its has top be something with that port on the ECU its self. For instance, I can start the car and I know that the ECU is not right, the idle will be low and skip once in awhile. Say my commander is plugged in and its doing that, 8 out of 10 times if I unplug it, it will smooth out and run fine. If I try and plug it back in the idle drops and you can tell that its running bad again. Its really a messed up problem but it all focuses to that port on the ECU.
