AFC issue..NEED IMMEDIATE ANSWER

[Craving4Boost]

i put in the AFC....it didnt work...there was no power so i probly clamped it wrong or soemthing becuz im pretty sure i used the right diagram....i unhooked the afc so i can bring it 2m to a shop to let them put it in...now the car wont start...i unhook all the wires that i tapped..i plugged the ecu back in and it still wont start...it would jus crank.....but it wont start..HELP!!!

[Structure240sx]

did u plug the maf wire you cut back together?

[Craving4Boost]

i didnrt cut the MAF wire in the first place...it was a mistake i made...but could that be it?

reconnect all the wires. they are color coded so you should knwo what you cut and what you need to put back together.

if the wires is all you touched, then that should be all there is to it.

take a deep breath and look it all over again.

not cutting hte MAF is one of the reasons. also you said that hte SAFC has no power, which means that you must've screwed up by not finding the correct power or ground wire. just look up all the wired like what everyone says, and just reconnect them all.

now wires were cut....i used a "T clamp" is taht wuts it kalled? so i jus cut the AFC wires...put in the rubber thing...put that into the Tclamp...and clamped it onto the harness....now i have taken off everything and im worried ive fried the ECU

[Craving4Boost]

i just want to get the car running....i needa kno is my ECU fried tho...once i getmy car running...i will strictly only do the actual autoparts and nothing electrical....ima pay someone to put it in

[Craving4Boost]

I fixed it! it was pretty simple somehow the sparkplugs werent makin enough spark to start the engine.my dad jus took it out..put them back in tighter? i guess iono wut he did but it jus started! man im happy....im apretty stubborn person and dont like to get help...but i guess it cant be helped when ur dads a mechanic huh....oh well im gettin my AFC installed 2m andturboing over the weekend...wish my luck guys

[deezlins]

goodluck, hope it turns out well

[Toahk]

It's just a 5 wire install, you shouldnt have to pay someone to do it. .... but I guess everyone has their own skill levels....good luck turboing when you cant install a safc =/

[sil80drifter]

my thoughts precisely

well i kno how to do it now its jus i dont have the patience for electrical stuff. but im going to attempt it again right now with a smarter approach. im goingto way more organized and will tap the IGpower first to check if the unit will turn on just to check im using the correct diagram. but one quick question....pplz say i have to tap it about 1inch away from the ECU...wut if i dont? becuz it would be nice for a lil more room towork with

[Ubernoober]

This car will be wrecked/up for sale within 6 months. I am giving 2-1 odds. Any takers?

[Craving4Boost]

even though im already in a pissed off mood...ima jus let u kno that i got a pretty damn hot temper if u kno me so cut the jokes alright....anyways....for anyone that has 91 KA did use the N3-B diagram?? if u r...for some reason i cannot get the unit to even turn on..i tapped IG power...2 groundwires...and nuthing...wuts wrong???

[Toahk]

Maybe you fried the safc the first time around?

[Craving4Boost]

sigh....maybe im using the wrong diagram who knows...but oh well im takin itto myfriends shop 2m and hes gonna check it out

[LEMHEAD16]

I'm just a casual observer of this post and I am not an english major but, I just need to say some thing. I don't mean to take a leak on your "pretty damn hot temper if u kno me", but use all ten fingers when you post.

[Craving4Boost]

heh....as long as u can read it and it saves me time its fine....but anyways the AFC shudnt be fried becuz the ECU isnt fried....unless its possible it can be fried without the ecu being fried

[Toahk]

AFC being friend and ecu being friend has no correlation. If you hooked a hot wire to something thats not supposed to get power on the safc then you could have fried it.

[Craving4Boost]

ic..interesting...thats y i want to verify if anyone is using a afc with a 91 KA...uses the N3-B diagram? anyone...if its correct..i shud have tapped it correctly
