I guess I'll be the first to tell you. Get rid of the fic there are many free/low cost options for tuning the factory ecu. They also allow MUCH more control than the fic offers.

You have to set limits on the fic for what the ecu sees. Like setting the voltage clamps, ignition limits etc.

The fic modifies the signals coming from the ecu and you have to limit what the ecu sees, hence the clamp functions the fic has for the inputs to the ecu

Read the manual that comes with the fic so you can understand how to properly setup the fic

Is this a 4 or an 8

I don't know why you wouldn't have timing control unless the FIC was wired in wrong, some option in the software isn't checked, etc.

IIRC with the FIC you cannot pull timing, you can only add it

Can only take away. Can't add timing

Emanage u can only add but aem fic you can take away timming like rtype16 said and it was wire according to aem but was throwing ckp code when intercepted so now only taped ckp and cyp sensors just so atleast i could monitor rpms and not throw a code, but cant make timing changes with it this way! Everything is easy to understand it would be a great product if everything worked right. But right now it kinda sucks

You shouldn't have to program voltage clamp if yo're using the proper base.
They don't make the FIC4 anymore, it was replaced by FIC6.

But let's face it, there is no reason to use a piggyback on an OBD1 car unless it's A/T, it's a last resort option for tuning your mom's Corolla.
Sell that FIC for $400 and buy Neptune for $400.
you're welcome.
