Hi all! new here so plz be kind

can anyone help!

I have '93 impreza wrx (which I've had for a few years now - with no problems)

last week I fitted a apexi s-afc (generation 1) but when I finished installing I started the car and the engine cut out after a few seconds!!!
I tried disconnecting the battery for a hour - still no good.
the only way the engine carries on running is if I disconnect the air flow sensor (but obviously runs like a bag of ****e).
My ecu is a subaru part but I don't think it's standard to my car (it runs about 1 bar of boost)

anyone have any ideas what the problem/cure is?

cheers guys
Mark.

 

So it ran alrigh to you did an install

After the install it didn't run

You start looking at sensors

Its probably the install........

 

cheeky get! na the installation is spot on (well tis only 5 wires) the apexi unit seems to function ok (i think, i only got a couple of seconds to try it! )

 

As XtremeScoobies said...If the car ran before you installed the device, it's either your wiring or the SAFC is fcucked!

 

I have an apexi SAFC and it has 9 wires six of which are connected to the ECU, doesnt sound right having 5 wires!

 

I think that the old type (with dials) has only 5 wires

 

yep the afc is the old type!

i've taken the afc back off and put things back as they were yet the car still has the same problem!!!.....................weird!

methinks the afc is dodgy and now looks like its knackered me ecu!
