SAFCII issue? I swear I didn't do it!

Not Solara related but SAFCII related. Anyone?

As I was about to pull out the driveway this morning I decided to try and get the RPM peak reading back on the SAFCII. I swear that is all I messed with. At least I think so.

Anyway. I pull back and all of the sudden the car stalls out. ?? I was like. "Ok maybe I messed up on the clutch".

Nope. After that I could not start the car. I thought I ran out of gas again. So I go get 2 gallons of gas at the gas station in my 4runner, come back, fill up the 2 gallons and now the car started. Afterwards on my way to the gas station to fill er back up it was acting funny but I thought it was because I was low on fuel. I toped off the gas tank and to my surprise I only filled up 4 more gallons to top it off.

Anyway. I was driving back home and then I noticed I have loss of power, my A/F ratio is on the GREEN steady on GREEN, EGTs running real high on low speeds, and it wants to die out at times when IDLE. Idling lower then normal. Idling around 5-6 sometimes 7 and back and fourth like it does not know where to go. Usual normal IDLE is around 1000 - 1200. Like if it's choking on fuel and blowing out the spark.

Now I'm freaking out because I love driving my car and don't want to face more headaches with it.

Does anyone know what I can do? Is there a default setting I can fall back on the SAFCII so that it will at least drive it safely to get tuned? I wanted to wait for another dyno tune till after I get my tubular headers and 3" downpipe but I think this may have to come first.

Thanks for your support!
Louis

make sure the connections for the S-afcII are in solid.. I've had mine cut out if the wires are just right... which sounds like what your experiencing...

try running the car, the moving teh S-afcII and see if it dies

^ LOL. Well I was thinking of taking it to www.balancedperformance.com up in Duluth. (A LOT) closer to my house then batleground. Also they have a dyno there and Mahadavadava does not. I may actualy tow it up there with my 4runner. Gona call and see if I can drop off on saturday. Connections are fine on the SAFCII. There goes my window tinting money.

wow, i've never heard of this place... definitely keep me posted on prices and service man, i like options! find out how much they charge for stuff we already have like installing the SC, the SAFC, etc so we can compare, thanks man!

I can't find anything online in regards to the SAFCII and getting a default setting. I'm oblivion to this stuff and am scared to mess with it more if I don't know for sure what will happen.

Yeah, they are a bit more expensive but they act much more professional. $150 per hour on the dyno vs. $125 @ batlground. That was quoted for tuning the emanage maybe less for the SAFCII pretty standard prices for tuning.

I'll find out more on Monday and keep you in the loop and get mo info on their pricing. Especially their custom fabrication. yum
