SAFCII Installation & Setup Help, Working Now! Options

[WALKER]

So I wired up my SAFCII into my '95 Manual 5S-FE tonight, just as Manny described in his post however with problems. After wiring everything up I turned the key into the ON position and there was no smoke or any signs of improper wiring. Simply there was nothing on the display of the SAFCII.

Wired as indicated below:

On the 26 pin connector.
#3 Black w/ Yellow Stripe to Green (RPM)
#14 Brown to Brown (Closest to ECU) then Black (Further from ECU) (Grounds)


On the 16 pin connector.
#2 Grey w/ Black Stripe (MAP) - CUT WIRE
Engine Bay Wire Side to White
ECU Wire Side to Yellow
#11 Black w/ White Stripe to Grey (TPS)
#13 Clear to Purple (Knock)

I had a 22 pin connector (Manny had 12 pin)
#12 Black w/ Yellow Stripe to Red (Power)

So can anyone think of what my problem with the installation is? Is for some reason the #12 pin not the power and I need to hook up another pin to the red wire?

Anyone installed on on a '95 that can help me out?

Thanks.

Well I went through the EWD for my car and as far as I can tell everything should be wired up properly.
E5:3 - IGF (Igniter) <--- Is this really where you pull the RPM's from?
E5:14 - E1 (Ground)
E6:2 - PIM (MAP Sensor)
E6:11 - VTA (Throttle Position Sensor)
E6:13 - KNK (Knock Sensor)
E7:12 - B+ (Power)

Unless I am missing something, I don't understand? How do you test if the SAFCII actually works (since I did buy it used).

One thing I am not sure about is there was an additional wire that wasn't attached to the wiring harness on the SAFCII that was coming out the side, it is a teal type color, any idea what that is for?

Just looking more at the wiring diagrams from Apexi and it looks like in most Toyota setups there is an RPM Signal 1 and and RPM Signal 2. Do we have a second RPM Signal that needs to be hooked up? I do see on our EWD that the Map somewhat ties into the TPS, E6:1 (VC) does that need to be tied in?

the display should come up with just the grounds and powers dude.

Well it turns out the problem was with my grounds. Not sure what the problem was, but I took the solder apart and redid the grounds and it works now. I originally tried the power and it was fine apparently.

Now I am questioning my other soldering, should I take apart the rest of the connections?

So for the setup phase, what pressure sensor should be used? I used Pressure 02 in and 02 out. Any other setup options that you guys can share with me for the 5S-FE?

As for my knock readings it looks like I am reading anywhere from 35 at 1500 RPM upto 170 in the upper RPM at WOT. I didn't really push it too hard though since I was still unsure about the connections.'

Out of curiousity has anyone hooked up the blue wire to the O2 Sensor Wire to read the O2 Voltage? I am thinking of doing that this weekend.

i did not use 2 in 2 out, it is 1 in 1 out.

Thanks Manny. What exactly does this mean? What is it refering to (#of input outputs or FPR)?

Thanks.

Deleted post because it wasn't accurate information about what the in/out mean.
