So i brought the car home today out of winter strorage, Ran great and felt good to get her back in my hands after 4 months hidden away. I also was able to buy a brand new power fc this winter still in box never used. waws anxious to try it out just to see how it ran at idle but it doesnt seem to want to idle. i turn it on, sarts fine but shuts off after about 2 seconds, wont idle and and wont responds if i blip the throttle, just does nothing.
Its a 88 165 with a proper 3rd gen swap
wiring was done by tweak around 2010-2011(no gremlins)
205 engine running on a sw20 ecu
fuel pump is ran seperatly via a manual switch/relay(stock 165 pump)
obviously car runs perfect with the stock ecu, no codes
now if ive read correctly these come with a base map so it should idle fine, wasnt planning on driving it like this just wanted to see if it would at least run. since it wont respond to giving it any throttle it feels like it might be fueling issue, like the FC might be looking for something it cant find, then again i have zero experience with these. Im pretty sure its the AP Engineering version, theres asticker on the side that says it it is and ive read that these are a little different than the non AP versions.
Somehow i feel like the fact that im running the pump seperatly from the FC is causing this, like its looking for a relay signal maybe and it cant find it, like i said i have no experience with these.
Any help would be awesome
