Hi i recently purchased an apexi power fc for my series 1 r33 its brand new with hand controller i set it up as per the manual that came with it, when i start the car it starts and idles very roughly and it only running on 4 maybe 5 cylinders and is poring bulk fuel into it (all i can smell is fuel) from the exhst. I put the same ecu into my mates car a ser 2 and it runs perfect i can not work out whats going on anyone got any ideas?

Thanks lars

hey man, i had similar probs with mine n it was just the connections on the loom plug bolting to computer, wasnt 100% straight, the reason your smelling fuel is because its not being burnt by 1 or 2 of the cyls so is going into exhaust, try take plug off and retighten it and make sure its on straight to eliminate that...cheers and good luck

is the engine check light (orange) on when you have the problem?

have you performed the self idle learn procedure properly ?

Check the plug again and make sure the bolt bottoms out. All bets are on the plug not being 100% true and in as with some cars the bolt can be very stiff to do up making you think its done all the way up but its not. Tripple check. :wave:

      Nope, but they are definitely one of the default choices. Well established.

      Haha actually I did join back then under a different email address,  I couldn't re-activate my account so made a new one! I didn't post much anyway so not missing out on much. Amazing to see how the value of the cars and parts has changed over the years, also ACT section appears to be dead now.

      Thanks... It's in pretty good condition overall, probably due to not being drifted/tuned however being a daily driver has taken its toll. Had 100k on the clock when I got it, up to 180k now. Unfortunately it's not 100% dent free, it's got a small dent on FLH side and broken indicator from where I hit a small kangaroo at high speed. If you look at closely at pic #5 you might spot the dodgy trailer light repair my old man and I rigged up as temporary repair! - It's still there due to a combo of needing the car as daily driver and then too lazy/busy to fix properly. I've a couple of other minor accidents accidents as well but nothing major. One required a new front bar and unfortunately the smash repairer ordered the normal gtst one and not the aero bar. Needed the car back asap so just went with it, regretted ever since.

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      I can't believe that anyone is foolish enough to believe that the base maps are for any other purpose than to drive the car up onto the trailer/truck or gently creep it to the dyno. No matter how good they are, they can never be any better than the factory maps**, and only the foolish trust those on a significantly modified setup. **Yeah, yeah. I know there's also the difference between factory maps being fixed to certain injector sizes and MAP/AFM/VE relationships, and the likely aftermarket ECU base maps being better able to handle the sorts of changes that would render a stock ECU dangerous, like different sized injectors. But let's just ignore that for the moment, because the principle is still the same.
