Blown Power Fc Caused By Afm Miswire... Shoot The Electrician!

[jarrod83]

What a sad day =( a week or 2 away from recieving my new turbo kit n i recieved my z32 afm, n i drew up a wiring diagram for a electrician mate to wire up so i could keep both plugs of the afms so i could use one or the other

So he connected the 12V power wire from the car to the signal wire..

took it for a spin with the standard afm.. sweet.. swapped afms plugged in the z32 n it came up 5112mV's on the airflow on the power fc..

5 hours later worked out the power fc was semi dead.. it still turns on and all just wont start the car and the 12V wire to the afm is only putting out 6.8vs, and one of the relays in the back of the car continues to click on and off

standard ecu car starts fine.. and the relay makes no sounds...

so if anyone is a whizz with electronics.. or would know a place that is either familiar with the power fc or possibilibly might be able to fix it plzzz let us know!!

couldnt sleep so i went thru the entire car checking everything =P

found a blown fuse swapped it with the defogger... n she started

didnt even think to check the fuses as the standard ecu started the car fine

Had the same problem on Monday. Thought I was up for a new ECU, even the RAC guy didnt know what the problem was... Thanks to SN1P3R and her boyfriend, we found the blown fuse and the car is back on the road!!

Moral: ALWAYS check your fuses!!

no shit aye even when ur sure its not a fuse it pays to check only reason i even checked the fuse was cause the power fc wasnt saving settings and i remember a blown fuse is a common cause of that
