Little information you should know about my car. its a 97 GSX with a 6bolt 91 engine in it. I had that running with a S16G and stock fuel system. Know i put in RC 550's (3rd owner) and a SAFC-I (3rd owner). The SAFC-I reads everything fine except for when the car is off it reads 3HZ. I personally don't think its anything but i want other peoples opinon. Now to the real problem. When i go to crank the engine over it revs to about 700RPM than dies. I have tried 0 through -30 on low throttle and best resultes where -20 so thats where its at. Everything in the engine looks hooked up. I really need this car running due to the fact its the only car i have. Everything on the SAFC-I is hooked up correctly (the info for where to tap the connections into the ECU come form the VFAQ. The injectors where not used for about 2 years so im thinking they might be clogged up or something to that extant. Any tips or info would be greatly appricated. Thanks.
 
If this car was running right before you did these mods you need to retrace your steps and double check your connections, especially at the ECU. If you believe that you have everything installed correctly and this does not find a problem, you need to reinstall the injectors you previously had installed and uninstall the SAFC to see if it works with the old stuff. I bet that will reveal the problem.

Are you sure you set up the SAFC correctly in the settings menu?
 
on a side note, it IS normal for the SAFC to read 3hz when the engine is off, that is as low as it can read, so thats why it displays 3hz.

This is my 3rd DSM and my 2nd SAFC install. I also went over it 3 times and everything looks good. Next step is im putting the 450s back in to see if she runs then.
