Power fc won't boot up
I sent my car to Petit Racing to get an intake and a fuel problem fixed. When they tried to tune it my power fc wouldn't boot up. They tuned with theirs and I sent mine to Apexi to get fixed. Just got it back from apexi and it still won't boot up.
Just wondering if there is some sort of trick to plugging it in or if anyone has any suggestions cause it doesn't seem to be my computer.

The car will not start and the commander won't show anything pass the apexi logo screen. Apexi just inspected it and said that the commander and computer were communicating fine.

Well the Commander can hang up for a number of reasons. Do you have access to a Datalogit you can try to hook up? Did you go into the FSM and start metering the harness pins to see if they are ok? There are voltage specs for each one.
If your stock computer is working fine that certainly makes you think that there is something wrong the PFC. BUT it is possible that you have a working PFC however
1) some kind of Commander-related issue causing the screen to hang up
2) some kind of tuning-related issue causing the engine not to start
That's why I would hook up a Datalogit to it next. Also, did you buy this used? What are the serial numbers on the PFC and Datalogit?

I do have a rhd. Just as a side note I was of the understanding that i had a 16 bit computer instead of the 8 bit in american cars so i had to get a pfc to match that. Is that wrong?

If you have a '96 model you need to get the Power FC for a series 7 car. It is 414-Z005 instead of 414-Z004 which is for series 6, 92-95. You will have to search around for one. Some googling pulled up this site http://www.rotaryart.uk.com/acatalog/Apexi_ECU.html .
