Car:

S14 with 2jz-gte swap
ChaseBays harness and AEM V2 30-6051

Problem:

Injector 6 on all the time
No start (fuel pump will not energize)
ABS, Airbag and battery light always on

Chasebays answer:

Well, they said that they screwed up the programming on the 30-6051 ECU and we had to re-pin the harness for the 30-6050. We did this and it fixed the injector being on all the time, but that was about all it fixed. Fuel pump will not turn on, no spark or injector signal.

Contact with them, horrible. I get one email a day and they keep asking me what is wrong with the car, well it doesn't run... duh! The shop has been trying to get a hold of them and we are still at one email a day to resolve this issue.

My last bitch, I paid for all the products on July 1st, waited weeks/months to get the parts from them and in return... I have a paper weight sitting down at the shop waiting to get fixed. To be fair Chasebays did send out a few "free" items, but I would have given them an additional $1000 at this point just to make my car run.

Have any of you had experience's like this with ChaseBays? Is there any way to get a faster response out of them.. the one email a day (if I'm lucky) just isn't cutting it. They also claim that they don't have a shop phone??

Thanks,

Ryan

Problems with Chasebays? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, you don't say!

Wiring Specialties is the better option. DUH.

Yes its a joke. This experience with chasebays has been so terrible that I'm on the edge of just parting everything out.

I've been fighting issues with my harness since day one. I've had it almost 2years now, cry me a river JT.

Contact them, explain the problem/issue/s and send it back, they may fix some, and start new ones...

I had to literally rewire my entire harness to get my car to start.
Power where there was supposed to be grounds at the ecu.
All injectors constantly firing, no pulse.
Ground on all coils had 2volts.

Emailed them, had no help for me.
I also have like 3-4 plugs that I have no idea where they go and neither do they.
Motor runs well and strong but thats not thanks to Chasebays.

I had purchased it in 2012, I had even sent it to them for repair and
they told me it was fine according to their diagrams.
Harness was never even de loomed. Had a friend repair it for me
and like the above post states, I had alot of issues.

You obviously dont know the severity of the issue with Chase Bays,
there is a thread with 10 pages of almost nothing but complaints with no resolutions.

Trust me I fully understand the issues and severity with Chasebays. I am just trying to help for next time as no matter who you buy from, it's ultimately your responsibility to cover your own ass.

Trying to keep things organized?

Thread turned into why we have a review section. The proper thread has been mentioned and reviews should be posted there.
