Default My car shuts down and wont start back up... i move ecu around and its good.

Could this be a wiring problem on my harness?
sometimes the car starts up good.. i move ecu very slightly and it turns off...
wtf... which wire is for fuel injector pulses?
i tested it and the injectors were off...

Maybe you have a short somewhere so when you move the ecu its grounding itself out? I would just go over all the wires make sure they are sucure and that none of the wires are showing through.

It's definetly something in that area. Did you screw around with any pins for the harness into the ecu? Maybe the ecu has a bad spot in it too, might want to try switching out an ecu.

wait, wait, what is this:

don't you have to solder in some port or chip or something for that? If you have another ecu, switch it out and just let it idle (no boost!) and move it around and see if it does the same thing. I would also double check all of your wiring that you've done/redone for the vafc. So how're you liking the turbo?

im loving the turbo.. the ecu chip went sucessfull i was running the NA program for weeks with no problems.. but once i removed the ecu and put a boosted chip on it and put a summit rpm activator the car has been acting up
maybe one of the wires with the ignition A15 or Power B15 is not connecting right..
when the car does decide to turn on and run it runs beutiful sooo quick.. ghettodyne is awesome for being free... no cel codes car runs good a little rich but ill fix it at the dyno

Nice, I want to see some experiences and everything...my plan is to go zdyne, but if I keep hearing good success stories with the ghettodyne..well saving 1000 doesn't sound too shabby.
