Apexi starting problem

My mate just fitted a second hand apexi fc to his 99 classic and it struggles to start and when it does u have to keep your revs on to keep it goin. It works fine with standard ecu any clues???????

Is it a uk car,
can crank swap ?.
fuel pump contorl wire swap ?
What had ECU previously been mapped for?. (bigger injectors, different MAF. If it came with the extre hand held monitor you can view loads of paramenters & will be able to rule out a lot of probables.

Jdm
We reset ecu
Dunno. Wot it was fitted to
How do u change it for jdm (pins?)
How do u turn off the 3 port turbo control off?

It comes with controller

Copy and pasted info might be of some use to ya m8





If you are not using the PowerFC boost controller kit make sure you disable this feature. Go to the "Etc" menu and choose "Function Select" and then choose "Boost Control Kit" and set the option to a Japanese character that looks like a plus sign. This will disable the PowerFC boost controller kit.



The PowerFC manual states to start the car, ensure no errors are present and let the car idle for at least 30 minutes. During this idle period wait about 10 minutes, turn on the air con, wait another 10, turn on the demister, wait another 10 minutes or so and then your car is ready to drive. If you short cut the self learn idle procedure once the car is turned off and back on again it will simply stall each time. If this occurs you must factory reset it again and do the procedure from the st.art



Disconnect Power

Unplug stock ECU

Plug in PowerFC ECU

Reconnect Power

Start Car, let it idle for approx 10 minutes before doing anything

Turn on aircon, let it readjust its idle and wait about 10 minutes

Turn on demister, let it readjust its idle and wait about 10 minutes


All done and you are ready to drive with your new ECU now. At this point you should familiarise yourself with using the hand controller and just checking the initial sensors and make sure the basic options are turned on and you know how to read the basic information.

Reading that it looks like you need to reset it and do the self learn idle procedure...

most likely mapped for different size injectors to what your using, crank/cam pins must be correct or it wouldnt start at all, 3 port setting wont have any affect on idle

Been on phone to bob we at your place Thursday he said he will sort it
