SOLVED..... one of the fuses under the dash looked like it was not blown with the "U" fully intact but near one edge it had split.

new fuse...car starts. Doing your rolling 3000rpm check now joe

Oh dear... Do you know WHY the fuse blew ? If not, then keep in mind
they blow for a reason, ie: something is wrong. You may have some bare
wires which touched when if first happend. It would pay to have a look around
and check. The last thing you need is for the same thing to happen while
you are driving.

Nah i know why it blew... i think i managed to touch the end of the lambda sensor cable onto something metal. CAuse it happened as i was tucking the cable away under the dash. So no chance of it happening now.

Yah i was packing death thinking that whole ECU was fried which is at least a $1500 exercise.

HMMM WRX-STI runs a link and goes faster than your car stace..... Motec holding you back?

haha with the help of nos you got to remember!

POLARBEAR666 · #19 13-12-2006, 07:22 PM

Yah but its still running 24psi using the LINK.... as long as u have a good EBC like a Turbosmart or a Gizzmo you remove the links big failing, bad boost control. For fuel and ignition its pretty good for the price.

Wouldnt you think Nos would make the ECU even more important to reduce timing etc so whole thing does not blow up.

tuna · #20 13-12-2006, 08:17 PM

good call simon, i forgot you know your stuff.

next time i fit nos, i'll double check that my motec can reduce timing.

did link adjust for daylight savings?
