My car is currently in the shop right now, and the F/IC is being installed. They already have it wired up, but whenever they try and start it, it clicks a few times, and stops. They then said that the next time they try and start the car, it starts in limp mode.

Now, they said that they remember seeing this happen to several people on a forum (unknown if it was this one or cobaltss .com), but i know people like Xcobalt05X got it working on their car. Im wondering if he followed the pinout of the ECM listed in the tuning section of ecotecforum.com (I believe the same pinouts were also stickied in a thread in this forum started by NJHK). Anyway, we're trying to figure out why this is happening, and what to do about it. The shop said they have found two different pinouts for a 2.2 05-06 E16a cobalt, that have 4 wires swapped around.

I'm really just looking to find out which one is correct, and if there are any other possible problems you can think of or if anyone else has already overcome this same problem. The faster people help, the better, as my car's in the shop until a solution is found.

 

no one's got anything?

 

possibly a passlock or security issue

 

i have the aem fic controller on my car with the supercharger setup....did you try starting the car with the aem controller box bypass using the harness also what wires did you hook up....i know if you try to call aem they are no help

 

thanks misfit, but the shop figured it out after 10 hours of troubleshooting. sensor wire 1 needed to be switched with sensor wire 2...which means the pinout that XxCOBALT05xX posted, and the one that NJHK posted on ecotecforum.com are incorrect. I'm going to ask tomorrow exactly which sensor they are talking about,, but at the end of the day im just glad its installed and works.
