hea's the catch yesterday morning i was looking and messing around my Apexi PFC. looking at boost, rpm, etc........ so i reset the PFC now it wont even idle and i followed the instructions i've got from the apexi site.
i swapped out and put stock ecu back on now it sounds like my motor will start but wont fire up and run.
any suggestions would be great now i'm gonna check my spark plugs to see if they are working right.
i'll keep an update of this until its all fix.

Make sure you re-check the MAF selection setting.

Check your ignitor. Make sure you are getting spark through all your coils.

pull each coil out, with the spark plug in it, lay it on the valve cover, and crank the car. If you see spark, even on one, your ignitor is good. If you have one not firing, change out the spark plug with one that is firing. If you still don't have fire, that coil is bad.

i knew you were gonna say that well i took out my spark plugs and they were covered with gas lots of gas. so i think i've flooded my cylinders. that why my car wont fire up but i'll dry them up and see what happens.

check your ignitor chip as well..if you know anyone else with an SR. ask if you can borrow their ignitor chip and just swap it see what happens.
that's what i had to do to mine. my ignitor chip was bad.
good luck!

i'm the only person in town here with a SR and the other guy has a RB that might be a problem here.

LOL, very true. When you pull your plugs out to check the spark, you should pull your fuel pump fuse also. So that way the car isn't dumping more fuel. One you have verified your spark, keep the fuel pump fuse out and keep cranking it over. The spark will burn off the excess fuel, and once it turns over, put the fuse for the fuel pump back in.
