The FCON hooks up via a plug and play harness, correct? Was the stock wiring redone for some reason? Is it easy to just swap and try new box, new cable? (I'm not familiar with the FCON at all - so just curious).

sounds a lot like that g35 from raleigh with the greddy kit that you guys did a basic install on but took months to figure out the electrical problem.

what was his solution? new harness? i know he parted out that car and got rid of everything a few weeks after gettin the car back.

CAR IS ALIVE!!!!!!!!


The issue has been resolved fellas! After spending about 700 dollars in diagnostic tools and various other **** i decide to tap out and send the car to Forged to be fixed. Sharif fixed the car yesterday after trouble shooting the trouble code from the fcon. The fcon was getting a faulty firing angle reading and this is what was causing the car to die. THE ROOT OF THE WHOLE PROBLEM WAS A FAULTY CRANK SENSOR LOL. I was relieved and pissed at the same time because i was on my way to nissan to pick up that sensor to try and replace it but decided against it because i had already spent so much money w/ no results. So in closing the motor, the fcon, and everything else is straight. TIME TO GO BOOSTING!!!!

BTW i did not send the car to Forged because of issues w/ Performance Factory. JT is in the process of moving shops and finishing up some projects and i wanted my car fixed asap! I have been a customer of Sharifs for a long time now and i hope to continue to do buisness with BOTH shops in the future.

That's really weird dude that you didn't get the symptoms I got because it's damn near identical.

yea man but when you throw a standalone in there it kind of adds some complexity to the situation.

I'm glad to see that shariff fixed the problem. I told you to do this in your other thread, it would have saved you a whole lot of money. None the less I'm glad you are up and running.

too bad that 700$ wasnt spent initially on a EMS that wasnt locked as I bet it took Sharif only 5 mins to figure out the problem and prolly a lot of hours to just transport there
congrats on getting the car back on the road. Wonder if the 1st backfire destryed the sensor?

Very happy to hear that everything is good and you are back up and running again!

The tools you bought will be useful in the future.

Now go out and enjoy that baby!

i know it is easy to say in hindsight, but even sharif was suprised that was the issue since it wasn't throwing any codes at all. O well the car is fixed and now it is worth it.

Glad to see it all worked out....be gentle with that throttle until you get comfortable with the power.
