My car is running really weird at start up and wont accelerate. It almost sounds like its about to shut off but doesnt and it shakes a bit. Really thats all thats happening but it cant be driven so i really dont know what to do or where to start. My SAFCII was stolen im planning on selling the car but i have to fix this problem first. This was happening before the SAFCII was stolen and then stopped and now its doing it again. Will i have to buy a new SAFCII or is there a way around it? The majority of the stuff in my car is listed in my profile. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
 
Your problem:
680cc injectors - no compensation for them
Walbro 255 - no AFPR?

You're probably running with about 50% more fuel than you need.

Buy some stock injectors, turn the boost down, and swap them in to see if it will fix the problem. 680cc injectors are as big as an SAFCII can handle. It will add quite a bit of timing.

You have a PM.

amen to that
 
Also, when an afc is installed there is a wire that needs to be cut. Make sure you reconnect that wire behind the radio. Just match up the color and put it back together recommended with solder.
 
yea i figured that was my issue is the injectors. thanks guys. Do i need to remove the SAFC wires or can they stay there incase the next owner wants to buy a new SAFC and install them.
