SAFC II AND WONT START. FUCK ME.
 

just installed safc II a day or 2 ago. im not currently boosting right now because im waiting for the injectors to get here, but anways. I drove on the SAFC II all last nite. It ran perfect. i couldnt have asked for anything better. Then today i got home from school and got in the car and drove down the street. very conservatively of course. the rpm on the indash tach started jumping around (really weird. never seen anything like it) and all of a sudden died. I started it again, and pullled off into a coldesac(sp). Then shut the car off to see what the problem was. All the safc wires were fine. The voltages were normal (checked sensors Via SAFCII). Anywaysthe car doesnt start now. It cranks over and sounds like it should, but wont. Anyone have this problem. any thoughts?

Thanks

Bad ground.

Re: SAFC II AND WONT START. FUCK ME.
 

Could also be a bad ignitor or coil. Ground could also be an issue.

Re: SAFC II AND WONT START. FUCK ME.
 

hmm.... bad ground for the safc or just in general? becaus the safc is grounded because it turns on. (sorry if i sounded like a complete retard right there, i know nothing about electricals)

Re: SAFC II AND WONT START. FUCK ME.
 

I'm guessing then it's not a honda...you should post that up next time. The majority of the cars on here are Honda, so if you don't specify, we start to assume :-\

lol. are u kidding. my avatar and my big ass signature of my car in my driveway didnt give u a clue of what car i drove?

Re: SAFC II AND WONT START. FUCK ME.
 

anyways... its all good.. me and my dad pushed my car back about a half mile. my legs are ------- burning. anyways.. found out there is fuel pressure for sure.. just no spark.. would any SPECIFIC WIRES touching on the ECU HARNESS make me lose spark? (please don't comment on the last sentence unless you know what wires specifically) Because again.. i just installed the safc and am thinking that's whats going on. maybe a blown fuse? anyways let me know.

Re: SAFC II AND WONT START. FUCK ME.
 

You have fuel pressure, but are your injectors firing the right amount? Did you check what sensor you were using, like I said earlier (pressure sensor). Fuel pressure just means that your pump is working, not that it's actually dumping fuel into the cylinder. Get a tool to throw down the sparkplug hole (between the plug and the wire) that tells you if it's arching. They're like 10 bucks at autozone.

just try unplugging the harness on your safc and start it. If it starts then maybe u have a problem with ur safc or some wire somewhere..??

Re: SAFC II AND WONT START. FUCK ME.
 

Are you kidding? Do you think I can honestly tell what that thing is? All i see is extra weight and bad aerodynamics :P

Re: SAFC II AND WONT START. FUCK ME.
 

well if you thought it was a honda your a ------- idiot, plain and simple!

Re: SAFC II AND WONT START. FUCK ME.
 

Honestly, i don't pay any attention to sigs anymore...I've seen more pics of rice cars come and go on this site than you obviously have. I just read what he posted, and he never stated what type of vehicle it was, year, or motor. It's pretty much a given to post your vehicle information and setup when asking some type of tech question. It'd kinda be like you posting up "why am i such a jerkoff?" ------ newbs :P

Re: SAFC II AND WONT START. FUCK ME.
 

Eh maybe problem with ignitor or ignition coil or somethin in the dizzy? My y8 had some issues and I swapped in a different dizzy to see if it was the prob, well the dizzy I swapped in, when I started driving down the road, everything seemed fine then the tach started going crazy and the car idled really low. Swapped mine back in and it was back to normal.

id help but you wouldn't listen ;)

Re: SAFC II AND WONT START. FUCK ME.
 

hmm. so today after school i bought my buddy over to check it out (even though i know more about enignes)... anyways.. i was showing him how there was no spark. and pulled a plug out and had him hold it close to the valve cover.. i turn it over and it starts like a brand new car..?! :o i dunno. but all the SAFC II sensors are in the correct voltage range. and eerything seems in line. i drove a few hours today and its been doing good.. maybe god loves me or something. lol. anyways. i dunno .


oh and.. my car lost about 104lbs when i put the body kit on. thanks. ;)

Re: SAFC II AND WONT START. FUCK ME.
 

its probably a loose ground then....

Re: SAFC II AND WONT START. FUCK ME.
 

lol a loose ground from what?

Re: SAFC II AND WONT START. FUCK ME.
 

any of the engine grounds. Make sure none of the bolts are loose.

Re: SAFC II AND WONT START. FUCK ME.
 

k will today after school and before work... thanks.

Re: SAFC II AND WONT START. FUCK ME.
 

When the rpm tach starts flippin' around, your plugwires are gone/will be gone soon, or the coil is sparking towards itself, so check and recheck your plugwires by spraying a bit of water on them and start the engine when its dark. IF your coil or wires are failing you should see sparks :)
