I sold my afc so i unhooked it from the harness and it ran like crap, i tried initalizing it and still crappy, so i re hooked it and set everything to zero and still ran like crap i reset the battery and ecu and still nothing now even when i hook it back in it runs crappy
it starts up fine and lightly touching gas goes up fine but if you floor it WOT its will go up then start hesitating and like bogging out and smells rich :cry: :confused:
 
I'm guessing because the 255 is overrunning the shit out of your stock regulator. Also unhooking the harness isn't sufficient, you need to jump between the orange and pink wires on the harness, or disconnect the common wire that they're connected to and join it together again. It's blue and yellow, and can be found on the harness here.
Your '!' key is stuck too ;)
 
maybe a loose connection, i would check the orange and pink wires as stated above too, i had a similar problem and i hooked up the wires correctly and i t worked fine.

and make sure that the settings are correct. set to karmen, 4 cyl, and i think the accl (i think not sure maybe throttle?) is pointed up.
 
when ya un-hooked it -- did ya just unplug it ? if so, that was the same as cutting the wire comming from your MASS. how long did you run it like this? long enough to foul out the plugs?

He sold the AFC without the harness, so he's trying to get the car to run without the AFC on there. The plugs are probably fouled by now. 255 on a stock regulator, too.
 
OK i reconnected the one air flow line and got new plugs and its still running like crap
 
i zeroed out everyting on mine and unplugged it before a shop replaced my clutch........ and they test drove it for a couple miles at 60mph..... well when i got the car back the car started bucking back and forth so i raised the fuel tables a little on it..... and now the car won't even stay on for 2 sec without stalling.. did i foul out the plugs when i unhooked it?
