OK, maybe not a hooker, but I'll think of something as a gesture of thanks. (dinner, etc.)

Anyways, the first step in allieviating my CEL (Check Engine Light) is to uninstall my S-AFC. Believe me, I don't want to, but it's a must at this point.

I live in South San Francisco, but I'm (obviously) able to drive fair distances (i.e., East Bay, South Bay, etc.)

After 1 PM on Thursday and anytime between then and Sundays are the only day I can make it.

So does anyone here think they have the expertise for this kind of uninstall? Normally I'd take to a mechanic of some sort, but I'm almost flat broke (university student, studing Nutritional Science).

Can anyone help?

Thanks guys.

PS: Alex, congrats on the i-club sticker thing.

 

HAHA Sev... Haven't seen u in a while. Still on the broccoli diet? As long as it wasn't installed all ghetto, Come to UCKK Tuesday night, and i'll yank it for ya.

...the AFC

why do you think your S-AFC is giving you a CEL ?

 

we drive 99s, 99 got issues with the MAF, and i have a feeling it's something that has to do with that.

PO 170 Fuel trim malfunction
Two consecutive driving cycles with fault
Symptom: Erroneus idleing, Engine stalls, poor driving performance

According to the Trouble Shooting flow chart;

Check Exhaust system for leaks (SM does not specify but I would presume this refers to up-stream of the rear Catalytic Convertor)
Check Air Intake system for leaks
Check Fuel Pressure
Check ECT
Check Mass A/F sensor

How've you been my friend?

Imprezer (Alex) installed it for me, and he usually does quality work.

I must warn you that it might take longer than required in a i-club meeting.

Why?
1.) The S-AFC is enclosed in the kartboy carbon fiber trim, within a custom (Subaru?) dash cover. I don't think that takes a long time.

2.) Isn't there splicing and diagram studying to do?
I remember the night that it was done, and it took a bit of time.

Dan, if I don't make it this Tuesday, I apologize. School is assaulting me with its workload. Check back in this thread, as I will definately post if I'm coming by then.

I look forward to your response.

Yea. There's a series of steps I have to take in order to solve this CEL problem. This is the first one. Next is check exhaust for leaks. Plus, I can sell this thing on eGay and get some money. Next semester is coming up, and I desperately need money for book bills.

 

i will help you if you want to drive to fremont this weekend!!!

 

have you tried setting your S-AFC flat and see if you still get the CELs ?

with everything set at 0, it should not have any affect on your MAF signal, Im wondering if its a problem with the wiring instead and not the AFC

 

Silly sev, its "Dan_E" ... White RS ... *knocks broccoli out*

 

By any chance are you going to sell that S-AFC???

 

Sell it to Kosta Sev, that's going to a good subie home!

Hey,

Believe me, there's nothing that would please me more than to sell a fellow enthusiast parts off my car, but people on eBay are paying top dollar for that piece of electronics.

Here's an example: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2440248006

It's currently at 212.50 USD, and that's not including the fact that I have the box, and extra mounting stuff for the Impreza itself which cost a ton of money.

When buying from these kinds of enthusiast sites, the prices need to be lower than I'm willing to sell it for.
I appreciate any advice/comments, though.

 

y0, have international b uninstall it for you dude... I call him the Wire ****, because he knows his wires.

 

Woa, I missed that post.

Acknowledged.

International B,
I know this is asking a lot, but could you do it next weekend? I've got a 40 minute Nutrition presentation to give on Tuesday, a Japanese III exam Monday, and a slew of Microbiology lab practicals this week.

Are you free next weekend on Saturday? Let me know my friend.


Thank you so much, guys.

This forum is a tribute to the spiritually cohesive nature of i-club.

Hey, I've got a meeting tomorrow for my nutrition project in San Jose. We haven't scheduled a time yet, so around what time are you going to be in San Bruno.

Please don't kill me. I don't, um, have a phone number...lol. I use email as my primary means of communication (I respond pretty quickly)

However, if you tell me around what time you'll be in San Bruno, I can make sure to be at my house at a specific time, and PM you my home phone #.
