Dead power fc
 

Well not a good day for me,
Went to mapp my wrx plugged in the power fc and it like it hasnt any power?
wount prime the fuel pume or even fire into life?
The lap top kept showing a message (interface not responding)
tryed a simtek and that worked fine,
its deffo the power fc,
anyone else had this problem?

I am sure you have to swap some wires over , cam sensor an fuel pump or somthink, iam sure Scott or si will know.

Yep needs installing by someone thats done it before ;)

What year?

IIRC your running a UK 97/98 you need to move a wire on the connector for the fuel pump and swap cam and crank.

Move Fuel Pump wire from Pin 17 to 7 on Connector B137
SwapCam and Crank signal wires B136 Pins 8 and 10

Below link shows connections and also has the details of the swaps in the bottom corner i.e the * items.
Your bascially swapping from an ECU with an Immobiliser (the UK one) to an ECU without one (the Apexi).

Its a 1994 wrx with the 4plug ecu.
i thought it as a straight swap and mapp, why wouldnt the lap top not reckonise the apexi? when he mapped another power fc for the same year wrx 2weeks before?

LOL.... must be dead then.......soz...
Have you tried to reset it to default settings on the commander ?

i do not have the comander :getmecoat:
Was a waste of couple hudred quid then.
Took the cover of just to see if there was any burnt out componts or smell of electrical burning and nothing its just not doing anything

Yeah map wrong or dead pfc

Needs laptop plugging in

What do you mean needs the lap top plugging in mate?

No fuel pump can be resolved

With laptop plugged in a sensible map can be used etc

Confused....first post says laptop not responding. So u must of already tried with a laptop. You fitted it to map It so must of been using a laptop or fc commander. If laptop was not responding sounds like Ecu is not powered.

oops... maybe we should read first post more :)

pfc dead then

Yes unplugged mine with the mapper then pluggeed in the power fc with the laptop plugged in aswell and just no power.
so i amaging that some electrical compontent as failed, is there a company that can recon it??

Apexi used to repair them but you had to send back to Japan.
The 93-96 went obsolete, so may now be un-supported.
