Got my install done tonight or so I thought. I unplugged everything I installed including the gauges and water meth and no change. Thanks in advance

unplug aem fic..


Also check underhood ground.. That usually does it

 

did you hardwire the fic in? cant say iv ever run into this issue.

 

unplugged f/ic and ground is good. I checked the one under the battery tray and the one to the frame. No change, also I used the AEM pnp harness

 

Do you mean unplug the harness completely or just the two connections on the fic? So have you had this happen to you?

 

Where did you tap your aftermarket gauges into?

 

I ran two seperate fuse panels. One for unswitched and one for switched (I used a fog lamp relay). illumination was tapped into the back of the radio.

 

Try disconnecting the fuses that power the aftermarket gauges, along with the illumination wire, and see what happens. Something is shorting power back into the system.

 

I tried that too. I actually took the power for both panels out

 

try dissconnecting your batter for 15 min? dunno if that will work.. but check all fuse's not just the 2 u ran ur gauge's to mayb you tripped a fuse somewere...

 

Did you try what mike suggested by unplugging the fic harness completely and plugging just your OEM ECU in?

 

wtf, dude check the ground from battery to chassic.. and motor..

 

I had this happen to a scion xb i did a clutch on.. Woudlint start, brake and abs light stayed on.. screwed down the ground.. boom.

no more issues

 

yea mayb u it looks like the ground is connected but it's not tight

 

lol ive had this happen to me ONCE, then i opened the hood and was looking around then said ____ it, unplugged the battery for 30 seconds and then decided to try n start it i had already started up my moms car just incase lol, my car fired up

 

ok I'll be out there to check it and try all the suggestions again soon thanks. Probably a result of 16 hours of sleeps over the last 5 nights working on this.

 

your getting feed back to your ign2, the problem could also be coming from body ecu , the reason i say this body ecu controls power and ground to most components and it also changes from ground to power, in the same circuit. and if ether is applied at the wrong time it will short internally ( it could happen doesnt mean it did)

 

will it start?

 

I checked the chassis ground and it was tight and I got resistance between positive and it so I figured it was ok. Ran a temp ground and problem solved. Now sorting out leaky fittings on aem meth pump but I used some fittings from Sony(my friend is a mechanic there) but I can't get them onto it so I had to run home to get the AEM fittings. I haven't tried to start it yet I needed to come get #s from previous posts for pulse width etc.
