what kind of connectors did you use? or did you splice and solder the connections? did you set it to 6 cylinder with the throttle up?

go to the check sensor menu. see if the voltage changes as you press the pedal. If not, then you have a loose connection. If yes, then you need to train the safc to know what the throttle "range" is.

As for the karman, your car should be on to read anything and using the karman wires. If your car is a 96+, you do not have a karman sensor, you have a hotwire sensor and need to use different wires.

on the apexi page they have all the official documentation to help you.
http://apexi-usa.com/info/?id=5383

If you push on the brake pedal and the voltage changes for the throttle, then obviously its the wrong wire. Re-look at diagrams from apexi to make sure you got the right ones.

To train the safc, there is a menu for it in the settings. Go to that menu where you put 6 cylinders and the throttle arrow angled "up". Press select, or "right" while highlighting the arrow, you should be able to train it.

For the karman sensor, make sure you used the correct colored wires. Karman uses different colored wires on the safc.


Hope I helped you out!
