Hey all

I purchased a power FC for my Autech 260RS, the correct type im told (R33 GTR). I tried to plug it in to make sure it was OK, car is still running stock inj's/afms.

When i turned the car on the check engine light come on straight away and the engine hunted between 2000-3000rpm. I immediatley shut it down. Tried again, checked it was plugged in OK but still the same thing. Put my MINE's ecu back in and it ran fine.

I mentioned this to someone and they mentioned the PFC may need to be reset? How do i do this? I dont have a hand controller for it yet, i do have one coming soon though. I was told the ECU was brand new, as my first thuaght was maybe it had a previous tune with other afm's and inj's etc.

Any other idea's?

Cheer's guys.

If i remember right; If the check engine light comes on straight away its due to the boost controller setting in the pfc being turn on; go into the setting on the h.c and you can turn it off.

I install a pfc in a mates r33; it was doing similar things yours was doing i reset it and did the idle setup (let it run 10mins without aircon on then 10mins with aircon on) and it still hunted abit in the idle, he went and got it tuned and it fixed all the problems of the idle.

If you don't have the H/C you will have to wait, as in the hc you will be able to see if it is setup for stock afm and injectors etc

read the power FC FAQ.

I read through some of it, i tried searching but for some reason the search function was having a day off and not working for me. Will try again tonite, stupid net at work is the ghey.

Sounds like i need to wait to get the H/C?

      Just a follow-up on this topic. From what I can tell so far the rusty residue on the engine block might be unrelated to a coolant leak or maybe just older than anticipated. After driving it from the winter garage to my friend's garage I could not see any new traces of coolant leaking there, but I will test this properly once I was able to fully warm up the car and drive it for a bit. I think I can agree that the whole porous engine block stuff is kind of nonsense, but there is just a silly amount of true, false and half-true information on anything Skyline-related on the internet.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      I removed the IACV, cleaned it and reinstalled.  I found a video on youtube that helped with the whole process, the guy then said the idle needed to be set, so the process was to get the vehicle up to operating temperature, unplug the TPS, set the idle screw in the IACV so the RPMs were around 600, then plug the TPS back in.  After I reinstalled the IACV, the car started (because, it was a cold start), once it warmed up, the car died, I adjusted the idle screw to see if that helped anything, it did not, I had to wait about 3-5 minutes, then the car would start back up. Only to shortly cut out, and only crank.  I loosened the TPS to see if adjusting that would do anything, and when I would rotate the sensor clockwise, there was a humming noise, but it would go away when I got the sensor in the horizontal position.  It only made the hum noise with the key on.  What do you guys think? 20250414_172604.mp4

      Troubleshooting - motor wont turn over

      Quick update.  The engine grounding strap was replaced, the engine is now happily running.  Tested the voltage drop before replacing the strap, was about 1.2ish volts down between engine to battery, chassis to battery. With the new grounding strap, pretty much no voltage drop at all.
