It's definetly not the AFC because the brand new one I just bought doesnt work qwhen I have the ecu plugged in. Its confusing the hell out of me why the afc works when the ecu isnt plugged in but once I plug it in it just cuts off. Somebody help me out on this one I have run out of ideas besides my ecu is fucked.

Did you check for CEL codes yet?? If not, do that first. Check all your fuses again, ECU and RADIO backup. Does your car start with the stock injectors and the AFC completely disconnected?? Don't drive the car, just check to see if it starts. If it doesn't, you got a problem with the ECU or it's connection.

I didnt have the chance to try and put the stock injectors back in. I guess my next step is to just uninstall the afc and see if something happens. Would the car start if my ecu is blown? Oh yeah you said something about hooking the plugs up that make the CEL blink so that I can see what code I'm throwing. Where the hell is this plug at?

Oh yeah if my ecu is fine and all, would it be possible to hook the AFC up to another power and grounding source? I know the AFC has to have the brown wire closer than the black on the ground but does anyone know if its ok to get the power and ground from another source? Oh yeah if anyones interested I have an extra SAFC laying around that works. I have both the SAFC and the SAFC 2 from japan so if anyone needs one I could seel it to them. The SAFC I thought was broke isnt (powers up and everything its just my ecu or somthing else is messed up) so if anyones interested shoot me a holla.

The plug is on the passenger side under the dash by the plastic cover. It's a 2 wire prong connector. Just connect it with a paper clip or a piece of wire. Make sure both fuses for the ECU is good and all the wires reconnected that were intercepted by the AFC.
