Hey guys

Took out the powerFC I had in the car and put the stock ECU back in. Car started for about 1 second and then stopped. When I tried to start it again it cranks but doesn't fire up.

I had a look in the fuse box under the dash and the "aircon" (エアコン) 10A fuse was blown, I replaced this, tried to start and the same thing happened - it started for 1-2 seconds then died, after that it sounds like it is turning over but wont start up.

No other fuses I can see are blown at all.

Only mods are the pod filter and FMIC, nothing else has changed except for me taking the powerfc out and putting the stock ecu back.

what AFM are you using

stock AFM - sorry I forgot to mention, its a S2 r33 gtst

any ideas what that fuse actually hooks up with so I can check it? The climate control unit comes on when switched to ACC and when i press A/C I can hear the relay in the engine compartment click but nothing else happens. Hard to imagine anything wouldve fried when all that changed was the ecu

Its weird that your AC fuse is popping. Ensure your AC is off before you try start it up. Is this the stock ECU from YOUR car or did you buy it? I'm sure if you check up the numbers on the ECU against a R33 Series 2 Manual GTST on the net you can confirm if the ECU is the right one for your car.

i had an issue when i put an emanage ultimate into a mates 33. it wouldn't start. put the stock ecu back in and it would start. turns out it was the loom not quite plugging in right (dispite looking like it was it, some pins just weren't making contact). i pushed on the plug a bit and it started first go

I had this same problem, just because the bolt is wound right in and the plugs looks ok doesn't mean it actually is in all the way.

    • No......not yet Minister for War and Finances has stated that the Commodore has to go first Not that I am going to modify the NC any more than what it is already modified now.....
    • Thanks again, really helpful chap from alpha omega wanted to speak to me, little concerned if this is meant to he aero alloy/ airospace quality and car sitting on drive has caused this.  Airplane are subject to much more changing temp and conditions than road salts! My caliper, many other components much older have surface rust but never eating part of the metal   Had I not seen it , could have been a disaster! specifically on rear part of bracket coming off like biscuit will update on what they say, helpful people so far
    • January or Feb is it booked in for turbo fitment?
    • The MX5 has had some annoying rattles in both front doors over bumps So I installed fancy pants door bushings, which stopped all of the rattles with the windows up, but........with the windows down there was still rattles, so after some googling,  and a chat with MX5 Mania, I got some new door to glass weather seals, all the rattles, windows up, or down, are gone now Shout out to MX5 Mania, the weather seals were on sale, and when I head to Dural to pick the up they even fitted them for me for free I did see a "really" nice Blue NA sitting out front   and this Black NC PRHT that looked like it has sat in the sun for its whole life and never had a wash, the clear coat was non-existent, an it looked horrible, really horrible, but, it had a nice turbo kit with over 200kw, the thing went like a cut snake, bagging the rears through the gears and dosing like a champ 😍 But, as I've always stated, I am keeping my NC na, I'm happy with the current power the car makes In other news: MX5 Mania do a drive in drive out turbo kit, the only minor additional part recommended for boosting my car, as it sits now, is a oil cooler, and that bonnet vents are definitely required for track use Aftermarket version look a bit to "racecar" spec I wonder how Focus RS bonnet vents would look?????
    • Paint is only structural when applied to the outside of Chinese and Indian cars. Otherwise it should never be present between mechanical joints that were intended to be metal to metal. Pain slips, slides, cracks, compresses, and add thickness that wasn't intended to be there. It comes firmly under the category of "just no".
