Penn999 · 11-14-2010, 07:24 PM

I currently have my ecu open and I am having issues with my procede. When I start the car everything sounds fine but the rpm needle is bouncing up and down. Give me a call if u can, 5406619109, its penn.

you most likely have one of the connectors in the wrong place.

Penn999 · 11-14-2010, 07:32 PM

Well I checked and all of the wires seem to be in the right place, I checked the wire that connects to the battery connector and redid that, started the car, same problems and about 4 or 5 errors codes are on the dash

Check if one of the little connectors are bent or in the wrong hole

Yeah I triple checked that and everything seems to be connected, if uninstall the chip but leave all of the wiring it should be able to start up correct?

Most likely if all the ecu connectors are correct as you say, then check the power connection as most likely you messed up that part of the install and the procede is not getting any power. So recheck that power connection

I did, and I even unplugged the wire and tried the other way just to be safe, same exact thing when i start the car and the rev needles just goes crazy

Are u sure the pnp harness has arrows facing on opposite side of each other on All four of the subconnectors

OpenFlash · 11-14-2010, 07:51 PM

I think something still isn't plugged in correctly. Go ahead and uninstall it. Test that everything is okay when it's back to stock. Then try installing again. If you still have problems, give us a call in the morning and we can walk you through a few things over the phone.

Yup, that was the first thing I checked on it. Yeah I did everything the same as my old JB3 I had, except for the power wire. that was different but I know they're all in the right place, like 90% sure following the video guide(for the battery)

Alright we'll I'm going to go back outside and unplug all the wires again, and quadruiple check them and make sure they are in the right place and try to start it again.

Penn999 · 11-14-2010, 08:03 PM

Ok, I found the issue, there is a prong missing in the yellow connector...I checked the female connector end and its not in there...It looks like it was missing from the get go. Shiv, should I overnight it or can I replace this at advance auto or something without having to ship it back to you?

EDIT: I just took everything out again and now im looking at that connector(yellow), I doesnt have a pin or a wire in the non arrow side, 6th pin in. Its missing is that normaL?

Nope.. that missing pin (in the yellow patch) is normal. That's not the problem. Just go ahead and uninstall the Procede and confirm that all is good stock. Then re-install one more time. I really sounds like one of the subconnectors in the DME connector is swapped with another one. Or not installed correctly in the first place.

BrianMN · 11-14-2010, 08:21 PM

There are spots on the end of some of the connectors That are unused. Stupid question - are you sure its not the tach moving to 1000rpm for map 1 or 2000rpm for map 2? Is it running fine?

I uninstalled everything and it all ran fine, all codes were cleared on their on their own, I'm going to wait until the sun comes back up and the tech services are open thanks though hopefully you wont hear from me tomorrow!

Its running fine, but it keeps jumping crazly, I cant change map modes either

Penn999 · 11-14-2010, 09:52 PM

Gave up for the night...returned it to stock. I will try it again tomorrow. Thanks for all the input. I will just have to call shiv tomorrow and post some pics of step by step install. The vishnu dci look great, so atleast it wasnt a total waste of time. lol Now its time to put the afe dci up for sale.

Alex@Helix · 11-15-2010, 02:14 PM

Penn, This happened to my buddy about a year ago. He was installing his jb3 pinout when one of the pins broke and fell into the connector. That stopped the connectors from being pushed together the way they should be and the jumping rpm was the exact same symptom. Make sure there isnt anything blocking the connectors from properly lining up and contacting eachother.

Thanks man, I will check it over again, I cant try again today bc of the shitty weather. Looks like I will have to wait another day...

Bimmer This · 11-15-2010, 05:55 PM

check and upload the firmware. I've seen a couple times that the firmware got corrupted and caused weird issues.
