FIRST I INSTALLED AND S-AFC II. EVERYTHING WAS HUNKYDORY. THEN THE CAR WOULD CRANK BUT NOT TURN OVER... CAME HOME FROM SCHOOL AND TRIED TO FIX IT...WELL THE SCREEN DIDNT EVEN TURN ON :cry: . CHECKED ALL OF THE WIRES, SEEMED TO BE OK, SWITCHED THE MAP SENSOR WIRES AROUND(HAD IT CONNECTED TO THE HOTWIRE/PRESSURE SENSOR PLUGS AND I SWITCHED IT OVER TO THE KARMEN PLUG SETUP). WELL I TRY IT AGAIN, THERE IS A TICKING SOUND FROM THE THROTTLE BODY. I SWITCH THE PLUGS BACK, AND THE TICKING IS STILL THERE. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME OUT LET ME KNOW WHY THIS IS HAPPENING! IT HAS BEEN SITTING IN GARAGE FOR A DAY, POSSIBLY BATTERY POWER TO ECU HAS DROPPED AND CANNOT POWER THE SCREEN, BUT THE TICKING ONLY OCCURS WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED TO ON...NOT WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING. HELP!!!!!! :dsm:
 
Uninstall the safc and see what happens. If problem solved, you either hooked it up wrong or the safc is defective. The ticking could be the ISC. Good luck.
 
isc=?

I FOUND OUT WHAT IT IS...IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY'S BUTTERFLYS RESETING THEMSELVES BECAUSE THE BATTERY AND ECU WERE DISCONNECTED FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. MY FRIENDS LANCER OZ DOES IT EVERYTIME HE TURNS IT TO THE ON POSITION.
