HELP!!! AFC2 installed, car stalls

[Eclipsemblue]

i just put in my AFC2 and my car keeps stalling out on me, its proble since u gotta cut the airflow signal wire and have it run into the AFC2, my stock boost gauge is reading nothing and is stuck in the very bottom 2 bars and you can smell the car burning rich if u hold the gas so it doesnt stall, yes i unplugged the ECU and i know that resets all my shit but its never been this bad i think its because the AFC signal wire, is there something i gotta set on the AFC2 to make my car idle and not stall on me?

You don't exactly cut the airflow signal wire and just run it into the SAFC, it must pass THROUGH the AFC and back into the ECU. It sounds like your airflow wire isn't hooked up correctly. As long as both the orange wire is connected to the blue/yellow wire from the MAS and the pink wire is connected to the blue/yellow wire going into the ECU, that's good. Did you use butt splices/vampire taps for the connections or did you solder them? Do you have the settings in the AFC right? (Karmann sensor, arrow up)?

yes its set on Karma and the arrow is facing upwards slanted here is a pic of my AFC signal wires

Well, you've got the airflow part of it hooked up correctly. I wouldn't trust those butt splices though. They're probably fine, but soldering the wires together and taping them up is a more surefire way. At least you'd know that they're not sliding around in a bad crimp. By the way, those blue splices are made for some pretty big wire. The correct range would be a red splice.

i got the car to idle normally by messing wit the initial setup settings for the afc2 but it still smells like its burning rich so im going to hook my o2 gauge up for once

is the rest of your fuel system stock besides the safc?

do you have any mods done to the car at all. your profile says stock so im surprised why ur getting the afc already. Anyways if the car was running correctly and not smelling like its running rich then it shouldnt do that after the afc instlal and u really shouldnt need to adjust anything. Once again check all ur connections make sure every wire is where its supposed to be and the grounds are in the correct order and correctly spaced apart. Soldering the wires is the best way to connect the wires together any other way might lead into problems an bad connections. Good luck
