It was the PFC, that is actually what triggered my mind that the PFC was jacked up. I took the datalogit and laptop out and hooked up a commander. When I pulled up the monitor screen. The Water Temp had dashes accross it instead of a reading. Of all the FD's I worked on with PFC's, I had never seen that happen. I went and checked the sensor and it was plugged in. After having the discussion with you about the fans and the water temp sensor, I made some kind of a connection that the 2 issues were related. I pulled the PFC out of my red car and had a water temp reading immediately. Tried cranking it and it started right up. I'm def. going to look into sending it back to Apexi... I've got plenty of time to wait Otherwise, it will be a very expensive lesson learned as I purchased the PFC in November and should have tested it immediately. The owner says it came out of his working car.

BTW Dan, the roads are going to decide whether or not I can make it up that way for lunch tomorrow. I'll give you a call around 10 or so if I'm going to be able to make it.

Cool, glad you tracked it down, problems like that can be a bitch. Just give me a yell if you are coming. If not we can meet up another time.
