H-developments chip problem..

[turbos12]

so i recived my stage3 chip today, and i intalled it just as the directions said, and i go to start it up and it would barly idle so i set my safc agian to run with my z32 mafs and it would rev up with no problem but when i went to drive it, it would just stall out so i pulled the chip out to make sure none of the prongs were bent up and they were all good so i put the chip back in and the car wont even start now...i have all the mods that the chip is tuned for..anyone have any ideas?..could they have sent me an automatic chip by mistake?..i emailed them but they didnt get bak to me yet

What are your in and out settings on the SAFC? The stage 3 chip is setup for the Z32 mafs IIRC, and the SAFC shouldn't be doing much.

i installed the chip and unpluged the safc..yea its suppost to be tuned for a z32 mafs but it would only idle if i tryed to give it some gas and take off it would stall out...then i pluged the safc bak in and set it to 2in7out and it would rev up fine..then when i went to drive it it wouls just run really rich and stutter and turn off

well, the reason why it was idling but stalling out was cause when you unplugged the SAFC, you essentially unplugged the MAF.

Try plugging it back in, and setting the in/out back to the normal 7/7 instead of altering the signal.

edit: just reread the original post, try setting the idle with the idle adjustment screw

[turbos12]

the chip was suppost 2 be tuned for a z32 maf..do i didnt even need to have the safc hooked up any more..but to get it to rev up i had to set the safc agian...now i cant even start the car...the chip had no effect on the car at all..it actually made the car run worst..and now it wont even start..is there a chance they sent me a bad or untuned chip my mistake?

[bentvalves]

sorry I cant help as I dont have experience with the chips but out of curiosity, what did it run you to purchase the chip and the safc?

[turbos12]

Safc neo=free...stage 3 chip 200$

DO THIS. This = truth.

ok this chip is suppost to be tuned for a z32 mafs..so i dont even need to be running my safc..but with the chip in and the safc unpluged it would only idle..if i plug my safc in and set it over to 2in7out then it would rev up fine bout it wasnt drivable...and not the car wont even start with that chip in..i had to put my stock chip bak in and it runs fine...but the stange 3 chip is suppost to be tuned for a z32 maf,440/444 injectors,walbro 255,fmic,exhaust,intake,t28...if it was really tuned for that then i WOULDNT need my safc to run my car..so thats y im thinking they sent me a bad chip?..anyone els think that can be true?

If you're gonna unplug the SAFC and not use it....then bypass it by jumping the wires past it....dont just unplug it. Right now for all intents and purposes you have an open short in your wireharness with however many wires go into your SAFC.

Come to think of it, you sure your SAFC is installed right? Did you get your car to run with it before the MAF and Chip swap?

[r34 gtr]

Man set the SAFC to 2in 2out, and it should work. You can't just unplug it once its been wired in.

[turbos12]

Yea i had it running with the z32 maf ans safc for almost a year..sorry i meant to say i uninstalled the safc nor just unplug it..i solderd the mafs signal wire bak together like it was befor i installed my safc..sorry for the mix up..but i did completely un install it..now the chip won't let the car start so i have 2 run it on my stock chip

i just got done talking with them over Email he said there could be a chance it got damaged during shipping but it was shipped pretty good..well i gotta mail it bak to him and hes gonna mail me a tested chip back..he a really cool guy and great to deal with

Yeah, static electricity can damage a mailed chip as I found out...they did send it to you in an antistatic bag right?

[turbos12]

they sent it to me in a cushioned envelope witht he chip in a plastic case type thing with tape around it..i dunno if it was antistatic

For the price you paid make sure you get a new chip (from them) to test out.

[float_6969]

An anti static bag will be clearish plastic that is greyish in color and looks kinda metallic.

[turbos12]

it was shipped in a regular plastic cushion envelope..no antistatic

[float_6969]

That might have killed it.

Anti-static bag

[turbos12]

it def. wasnt in an anti-static bag..just a regular bubble cusion envelope
