Hi all was supposed to get my pfc tuned today but found out it was not really working.

according to Paul @ chasers he was able to communicate with the pfc

the problem however, was that the voltage coming out from the pfc (to cranksensor etc.) was too low (way below 12v)

the car wont start with the pfc connected and so they checked the wires and stuff everything seemed to be good

and so they swapped the stock ecu back on and started the car without any problems

so does anyone no where shuld i go?

check in the fuse panel on ECR33

drivers side in the cabin

look for ENGINE 10 AMP fuse

check if its blown, if so reclace it

i forget which one is ENGINE 10amp

so check them all

or find a diagram of it my site

paulr33.com

yeh what paul said is correct, and most likely there is nothing wrong with your pfc...

i'm gonna take a stab and say you had a z32 or similar installed recently?... if so theres a good chance the signal wire shorted to ground causing one of the 10A engine control fuses under the drivers side dash to blow... this will give you approx 6-8V output instead of 12V and cause relays to click and the car not to start on the PFC .... however for some strange reason the problem does not affect the standard computer!

so check all the engine control 10A fuses under the dash on the drivers side!

good to hear all sorted

yeah its something thats got me gobsmacked

and we've seen it before, the illusive missing 10amp fuse

i dont get

how ECR33 with standard ECU runs fine and no problems for 10+ years

go and install the PowerFC and it goes spazzo, only to find a MISSING 10amp FUSE

i mean, i get it if was blown right, but a MISSING fuse - that makes no sense?

if its part of the 10AMP engine control, how can it be missing and work with the stock ecu?

why does the powerfc need it? what circuit is broken by this fuse MISSING ????

it make ZERO sense

    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
    • Nah, I'm not an a-hole, ha ha!   I do like the colour match. Some of the carbon fibre wraps are quite freaking horrible. There's one a local company I know uses, and it looks damn good! Also very very expensive per metre to buy! ha ha ha It might be cheaper to respray the roof than use the good CF Wrap, ha ha!
