AEM fuel / ignition controller
 

Has anyone tried these things.

I have a 91 na 5spd 7m series.
My ecu is shot.

Someone mentioned this thing to me on this forum.
I'm wondering if any of you have tried it and will it bypass the ecu??

Please and Thanks.

Depends on if you get a stand alone or a piggyback fuel controler. Piggyback require a signal from the ECU to alter so you can tune your vehicel, a stand alone will just simply replace the stock ECU entirely, good luck.

The aem says it needs to piggyback the ecu for climate control.

Being as to I have done an ac delete. The f/ic won't work without that siignal still?? I'm getting mixed reviews.

I just looked over this, AEM FIC, that is what you are talking about, right? Well the overview states "This system works parallel to the factory ECU......" which means it won't work without the stock ECU inplace. Sorry.

Yes. That's not what I was hoping for.

DO I need an igniton system and a fuel system?
Is there a 1 pc. unit available for this application?

I'm hoping you know something I don't because my research is turning up notta.

If your wallet feels up to it you can get a standalone ECU from AEM that is completely tunable for $1,700. That way you can eliminate the stock ECU and have a powerfull tool. But other than that, I don't think your going to have much luck.

I'm going to have to e mail AEM or get a phone number.

I appreciate it.

No prob, sorry I couldn't help more.

No prob. I only researched seriously for a short while yesterday.

I popped a chubby when I saw the f/ic.
I thought surely the car gods were about to bless me and for no
more than 500 bucks.

hehehe, yea they are not allways looking out for the needie. :)
