Ok so I had a problem starting my car that turned out to be a bad ignition relay so I replaced that and all was good. THEN I moved my battery into its new temporary spot the passenger side floorboard using 2 gauge wire as a power and 2 gauge as a ground grounding to thr chassis in the engine bay. At the same time I did tis Iwired up my boost controller, fuel pressure gauge, and added a few extra 8 gauge ground wires fr omthe block and head to the chassis. Now when I turn the ignition on the service engine light flickers on and off repeadily for like 30 seconds (sounds liek a relay clicking) then the service engine light goes black and the clicking becomes almost constant. Power Fc comes on and goes directly to the monitor injector duty cycle display but flickers dim and brite, I ca nstill toggle between settings though. No matter what battery I use the voltage display on the power fc varies between 8.6 and 9.2. I dont know what the **** I did but it just pisses me off becuase all was fine until I moved my battery. I did move my battery back to the engine bay and it didnt change a thing. I also unhooked everythign I did at the same time I moved the batter yexcept for the grounds I added, again no resolve at all.

I need help guys and I need it now, I have ot have this hting running by friday to take down for my downpipe to be made.

IM sure at least one person has had to experience this reply to this thread, e-mail me or hell even call me, day or night , anytime 24/7.

Thanks in advance

i've seen that happen with a bad ecu and low power from the battery. Like the fuel pump relay vibrates constantly. Remove power fc and put in stocker ecu. check if discrepancy follows. also charge the damn battery.

Ill get a new battery today and try it. I dont have the stock ECU and I would hate to think my brand new power fc that worked fine a day ago just decided to take a **** on me for no good reason.

ok, so i ran a new battery ground of 2 feet of 2 gauge wire to the bolt where the seat bolts down. I used a grinding disc to get rid of the pesky paint there. Also ran a 2 gauge ground from the starter to the chassis. I have 4, 8 gauge grounds 1 from the alt to chassis, 2 from the head 2 chassis, and one from the exhaust mani to chassis. Battery shows 12.6 volts on the mutlimeter and the ****ing thing is still acting the same.
