I just got a Power FC D-jetro edition, the one that replaces the MAF to MAP on the sr20 series motors. I do not have the MAP Sensor or the IAT sesnors yet, so I have nothing to wire into the ecu yet but I just got it today and it was working before but now I went and tried it on my car, when I turn the ignition on it doesn't do anything, it's like it doesnt get any power. The commander doesn't cut on, anything. The stock ecu works fine when I plug it in. I had a SAFC wired in as well, and that stopped working as well that wont come on either. It will come on with the stock ecu though. So what could this be? There doesn't seem to be anything at all wrong with the Power FC box, it actually looks almost brand new. It's for an s13 red top and going in a s13 hatch. Any ideas?

It sounds like the ecu is messed up. There is a wire that goes from the ecu to the eccs relay that triggers power to the ecu. The ecu is supposed to ground it to trigger the main relay for the ecu but sometimes frys. Idk why but I've dealt with this on an ecu before. All you have to do is run that wire to a toggle, then from toggle to ground and it well trip the main power on for the ecu. If I remember right.its the red/black wire in one of the plugs next to the battery.
