i emailed both the 01 and 02 to you, as i only saw that you needed the diagrams (with no specific year listed in your private message).


fairuza, whoever owns this site, if they want to have a faq or some type of data base to have stuff like that, tell them to let me know, i also have the alignment specs on file for the IS3 that i could give them too.

done, there is a HUGE difference between the autos and sticks, they wires and connectors are not even close to being the same, nothing can be referrenced to the stick from the auto, kinda sucked for a while, didn't make things very easy to figure out, i'll tell you that.

Ok guys i got a problem now. I wired in my SAFC about a month ago and it worked great until 1 week ago when i went to get my cd changer fixed at lexus. When i got the car back my check engine light was on and the afc wasnt turing on. I tried resetting the ECU but the afc still wouldnt turn on. I checked my battery to make sure everything was tight and it was and finally i checked my connections. I couldnt find anything wrong with it. I am now lost and cant figure this out! Help please, any ideas.

it sounds like both of yours need more stable power or ground sources.
