i know it sounds simple but did you disconnect the negative battery cable when you were taking out the ecu and forget to reconnect it?



just a guess, when i put my powerFC in my car ran very well.

Hey whats up I am RotaryRevolutions friend and I was the one who put the FC in and there were 4 wires that needed to be cut and I know I cut the right ones because I checked and checked again befor I cut them and I was just wondering if it could have been because we havent installed the downpipe yet but im not sure. And I would also like to know if anyone has had this problem befor. Thanks

make sure all the plugs are pushed into the Power FC. That stopped my car from starting a few times...loose connection.

Start checking everything....fuses, connectors maybe ground wire that runs out of the harrness. Could be alot of different things.
