safc got jacked last night.

[deviousgst]

long story short, i got jacked last night for my safc. so i drove it home like that, and i barely made it home(4miles) it kept driving as if my maf sensor was unpluged and if my intercooler wasnt on. i pulled up to my drive way and it started smokin from the engine bay. it looked like it was comin from behind the intake manifold/firewall...any ideas...

i have 660cc injectors

Got jacked, like hoodrat style?

they threw a rock threw my window(###in idiots, missed the first time and dented the top of my car) and took my subs and attempted to take my greddy bov and stereo(who takes the stereo face but not teh whole thing) and yes they took my afc2

Straight got jacked...

What kind of smoke was it? black/white... thick/thin... most likely i wouldnt worry about it, just throw some stock inj or another SAFC and you should be fine... Seafoam might help if anything

white smoke, kinda thin, idk exactly it was too dark

To help a bit you can just connect the MAS wires together. The afc comes with butt connectors to allow quick/easy reconnection of the MAS lines. Obviously it won't run great but should run a lot better than what you are experiencing. The rest of the lines are only sensors and thus you don't necesary need to do anything about them.

I went through the same shit having mine stolen while parked in a metro garage when I worked downtown.

I had the same thing happen to my wife's toy: car was broken into, SAFC was stolen. In my case, the injectors were already compensated for with a chip, but there's still the small problem that by disconnecting the SAFC, you're effectively disconnecting the MAS signal, putting the car into limp mode.

First thing is to put the wiring back to stock: I was "lucky" in that they just cut the harness (above the plug), so I had enough wire left to make an SAFC "loopback" plug for situations like this. Basically, just connect the white and yellow wires together.

Once that's done, you'll be running pig rich, but you'll be running; now you get to deal with the injectors somehow. I always wondered if you could get away with a poor-man's correction here by just slapping a resistor on the MAS signal. (It wouldn't help with latency/deadtime, but you weren't compensating for that with an SAFC anyway.) Working out the correct resistance is left as an exercise to the reader.

I swear I just wrote that....

The MAS signal cannot be frequency shifted by the addition of a simple resistor. If it was simply a voltage measure that might work but it's just not that simple. Putting a resistor inline would just attenuate the signal possibly to the point where the ECU wouldn't read it any more, or read it erratically.

thanks everyone for you guy's help..
apprecite it

exactly the reason i made this http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/appearance-interior-exterior/348151-custom-apexi-safcii-mounting-yea-custom.html

sorry about what happened though, people just dont give a damn about

Time to look for an AFC on craigs eh?
I'm sure you could find something that was jacked unless they are using it themselves,
At least your ride's still in the driveway...

I think the worst part is the rock to the roof. Everything else is easily fixed.
Maybe a good time to upgrade to a better system? I have a SAFC and a II sitting on the shelf, both from previous owners of previous cars, that I promptly ripped out.
