Apexi safc

[overboosted1g]

So I'm in the process of installing my apexi safc in my 1g, I was using the vfaq tutorial and noticed that the pins on my ecu connectors don't correspond correctly according to the color chart. Like the power wire says it's on the second row and 2nd from last but when I try the test light it gets no power. Also the wire is not red with black stripes it is just plain red. Should I just use the color diagram.

Also does the ecu need to be plugged in and the car have to be running for my safc to turn on.

AFC should turn on with the key without ignition (ecu plugged in). At least that's the way it works on my Apexi Neo. It enables you to tune the car (i.e. injectors dialed in) before you actually run it, which could save you an engine blow-up if you kept the earlier driver's set up and ran it directly. Also, per your wires, could it be that you have a non-matching extension? Sometimes the SAFC comes with the wrong extension and it messes up the colors.

Here's the thing if I ground the afc and hook up the power wire to the battery it works but the power wires on my car don't match the vfaq pinout. Should I just probe the car's ecu harness until I find the power wire.

Sorry had an internet connection issue. I think you have the old style SAFC (there was two) check this

might help, I have a 2g so I'm not too sure on the pin-out

Just so you know, the diagrams are looking into the back of the connectors (side where wires are comming out of em) not he pin side where it connects to the ecu. IF the wire colors dont correspond, you are doing it wrong.

For some reason pin 102 isn't getting power. Could I hook my safc power wire to pin 110 instead since it's switched 12v?.
