Power FC fixed the problem?

How many Power FC owners have had trouble with your cars before hand and the Power FC helped clear things up? Reading more info. on the FC looks like it will show you if any of your sensors are malfunctioning, that is awesome. I'd love to see some replies.

Thanks,

Andrew

No one else? The reason im asking is because i'm having some problems with my car and I'd like to get my Power FC set-up to see if I have any malfunctioning sensors and such. Though the shops tell me I dont need it, wouldnt it be better to have a Commander to see what exactly is going on under the hood?! Let me get some feed back.

Thanks,

Andrew

I know it helps me like you are saying...by having the sensor/switch screen in front of me to see what might be wrong.

Fixed a bad 3k stumble of course, but it also solved a problem where the car would stall every time you push in the clutch with the AC on. PFC showed me it was the clutch switch malfunctioning......
(granted that might have been obvious to a lot of people, but the car was still brand new to me at the time)

Had other friends that used the PFC to determine their TPS was bad, and I've used it to make sure mine was still calibrated.

I wouldn't give up my PFC for anything. Only reason not to have one is if you can't afford it.

Commander is worth it for at least 3 reasons...

Extra set of accurate guages
Sensor/Switch check makes diagnosing problems faster and easier
Duty % for wastegate and pre control can be set

Of course advanced users with highly modded cars will find more usefull.
