ok so he got an interceptor from ZZP, now when ever he plugs it in, it wacks his car out, like if he turns the key to on on position and tries to start it the car wont start, then it faults a bunch of things like power steering, low coolant, and the ABS light flashes and it freaks out, anyone know what could be causing the problem???

i had dual interceptors in my old LSJ and never had any problems so this is weird to me

 

Did you check his installation with the wires and everything? sounds like he fucked somethin up

 

ya i checked, everything is good, grounded and all

 

whatd he splice into for the switched 12v power? stock boost wiring?

 

yes sir, stock boost gauge

 

I have never heard of these issues, but what I'd do for the first step is disconnect the interceptor completely and see if the car starts up fine then. if it does, try running the wiring to another power source. I made my own ground when I installed mine, I drilled a hole in my painted frame where the A pillar covers

Good luck!

 

when we unplug it, it starts fine lol, and ok thanks man i appreciate the help!!!!

 

There have been a lot of these posts lately. I never had any issues with mine (lsj also) and I hooked it up through the stock boost gauge wires. Hopefully someone can figure this out, I have to send mine back for warranty because the screen goes all blue and I don't want these issues with the new one.

 

ya idk what is going on lol its weird

and ZZP pretty much told us to go **** ourselves

 

wow really? haha contact aeroforce. they have FANTASTIC!!!!1111 customer service. My wiring that came with my interceptor was messed up and they just simply asked me when I ordered it, didn't ask for an order number or anything, they just shipped it right then and there

 

good to know lol might have too, i love ZZP's parts but there customer service is horrible. not my first friend who has been told that by them

 

I've always heard their customer service is great! guess I have to wait to find out myself

 

haha idk my other buddy ordered there S252 kit and some other goodies, spent like $5500 with them and they ignored him and never returned his emails or calls, he needed help installing something, they blew him off

 

did you remove the jumper on the back?

 

Wow really? Who did you talk to? Whenever I talk to Steve or Tim from ZZP they bend over backwards to help me out.

 

i believe so, whats the jumper? i have never heard it called that lol

 

The jumper is the red thing on the back of the gauge, just pulls off. Aeroforce had responded to my email within 30 minutes and just told me to send it back and they will get me a new one within 4 days of them recieving it. ZZP is hit or miss with there cust. service but there parts are great so were kinda stuck in the middle.

 

On the back of the gauge there are 2 prongs with a red jumper on it when you get it. When you are hooking it up to a 12v source you have to take the jumper off otherwise the gauge doesn't come on when you turn the key on. But that shouldn't cause the issues your friend is having. Something seems screwed up with the gauge.

 

oh ya, lol brain fart, yes the jumper is off, and yes about ZZP lol stuck in the middle!!!!

i have there catless DP, Intercooler, lower CP

 

i dont see how the jumper being on would cause the problem anyway, mines still on till i get a new 3 wire harness

 

Haha I hear ya. Maybe shoot Tim an email? Anything problems with things I bought from them Tim has always done what he has to to make it right.

 

Grounded? My interceptor only has an postive and the obd plug

 

mustve mixed it up with my other gauge then, my b

 

so i completely rewired the gauge and it only does it when it is plugged into the OBD2, if i unplug it the car doesnt fault but as soon as i plug it in and it turns on the car faults

 

i have heard of this issue, they are around here somewhere, if i remember some people fixed it by using a different switched source, tap a 12V from the fuse box inside the car and see if that helps instead of using the stock boost gauge
