OK, this issue has me stumped. It's long, so be patient. First off, 93 AWD, 20g , 2g MAF, adj FPR, SMIM, 680cc injectors, stock ecu with S-AFC1. I have been driving this setup for a long time with no issues. Recently I was at the car wash and had washed my car, dried it, and went to take off. The car was running terrible. I checked the basics, I/C piping, AFC settings, etc, all good. It's running rich and just dumping fuel.
I get it home and start checking things, this is where I'm at;
I have replaced with known good working parts-
3 different ECUs
3 Different SAFCs
FPR
coil
power transistor
wires
plugs
injectors
injector resistor box
MAF
There are no codes in the computer, I can watch data and see air flow etc. When I use the AFC, I can add 50 or subtract 50 in the low throttle and it doesn't change anything. The car runs the exact same with the AFC plugged in or removed. I have air flow signal into the AFC and out.
At this point I have a stock ecu and stock 450's in the car and it runs great. But the AFC doesn't make any changes at all.
I am not a newbie regardless of my status, I have been working on DSMs for 8 years and have never ran into this issue. My guess is there is an issue with a ground or power in the engine harness, but I didn't want to swap a harness if there was some knowledge on what the exact cause or fix was.
Any knowledgeable help would be appreciated.
