guys,

i need your help badly, i recently installed a SAFC into my car....
everthing seems to be perfectly fine except for one thing.. the AFC displays half of what is to suppose to be my RPM.....

if for example my gauge tells me i'm reving at around 2000 RPM, the SAFC dsiplays at around 1000 RPM only.

can somebody please help me.
my car is a 1993 Lancer with a transplant of a 4g63 N/T eci multi engine.
what could be wrong???

Thank you very much in advance!!!!

Go into the setup & set the # of cylinders to 2 instead of 4. Because of the way the coilpack fires it fires two cylinders @ the same time. If it is already on 2 cyl. then I dont no. Read your instructions & you will see this.

yahoo!!! thanks a lot theduke!!!:thumb: :thumb: :thumb:
my follow up question would be is ... is alright given that my engine is really a 4 cylinder engine but i set the AFC into just 2???
will there be any problem with my tuning????

again .. Many thanks DUDE!!!!! your help is highly appreciated.. never could have done this if not for you....
 
No there should be no problem with tuning a a result from that. All Dsms are like that(well most anything with coilpacks). all the 2 or 4 or 6 or 8 or what ever cylinder thing acually changes is how the AFC translates the tach signal. As long as your RPM's display correcly all is well.
Happy tuning
