Apexi Power FC woes

[Ninja8)]

Hi all. Got myself an Apexi Power FC ECU for my V3 STI and when plugged in along with the handcontroller.. Handcontroller isnt getting any readings from my TPS, MAP and Coolant Temp Sensor therefore idles high and CEL comes on straight away. :(

According to Soichi at ST HiTech, My coolant temp sensor is the wrong type to suit the Power FC so the question here is: Has anyone ever used a Power FC and had the same situation? OR knows exactly what type of coolant temp sensor i need to suit the Power FC

I have replaced my MAP and TPS sensor so will see what the hand controller says tomorrow at ST HITECH.

Thanks all

Soichi should be able to sort it out for ya My mate had his Type R STi tuned to 200kw atw using power FC, Soichi did the tune and it was awesome. Speed pick up was insane for 200kw atw.

my old type r was tuned by soichi using a powerfc tuned to 227kw atw...

Im not doubting the fact that hes a good tuner. He has no clue on what water temp sensor is suitable for the power fc. If it was a skyline he would know he said. Bascially just trying to see if anyone here has ever came across their power fc not getting a reading from the sensors i mentioned above.
