SAFC with No fuel adjustment
hiya chaps
just a quickie really im about to install a SAFCII in the next few weeks if i leave all the fuel adjustment at 0 will it run just as it is now with the stock ECU ?? ( so there is NO addition or removal of fuel ) i dont want to start playing just yet - just want it installed thanks stu |
Yes.
The gauge values are very convenient for testing sensors. EG: Is the TPS sweep smooth with no drop-outs? Is the tach accurate? Is the dash boost gauge accurate? Is the FCD working & set right? Is the AFM OK? |
cheers matey
im gonna wire in the a/f side - but leave everything as stock another quickie ( should start a new thread but cant be bothered ) is there any way of testing the SAFC before i put it into the car can i wire the 12v and earth to a battery - just to see if it powers on ? i bought it second hand and want to make sure that it works as it should ta stu |
Bench testing is a good idea.
Got an old PC power supply laying around? It has +12v and +5v so you can test the sensor inputs also. |
thats an interesting point matey
im all really bothered about is that the unit powers up when it goes to the ECU - you need 2 earth leads ( i assume this is the for battery display ) could i use one of them and the 12v and just see if the unit powers up ?? i dont want to go to the extent of using a pc - although this is NO probs - i have about 10 lying around the house !! LOL Stu |
I have not seen anything written on why the two ground (earth) wires.
They are supposed to be connected about 1" apart, so I suspect it has something to do with noise suppression. Anyway that's not an issue during a bench test. I bought mine used, and luckily it worked. -Bill |
no probs matey - will fire it up on the bench tonight :D
will it matter which earth i use - or shall i just both to the "-" terminal ? stu |
