HFS-6 problems
My name is Jon, i'm from Darwin, Australia. I recently purchased a kit from a place here for my supercharged straight 6 cylinder falcon wagon.
I'm having some strange problems with the kit for some reason and am at a bit of a loss to work out what is wrong.
Problem #1
I've installed the system as per the instructions and had it working all ok except for a couple of bugs every now and then. The system was working fine, though I had forgotten to plug in the level sender. Since i've plugged that in the system seems to be turning off by itself for some reason. The dark yellow/orange level sensor light is staying on 'all' the time and the system will not reset ? I've checked my wiring connections and i'm confident they all seem ok. From what I have read the system is shutoff due to the level sensor being on for more than 20 seconds ? Is this what is happening ? And why won't it restart ?
Problem #2
On turning the key to acc. For some reason the pump starts to automatically pump water after 5-10 seconds (the usual system startup time) Though if you move the key to 'run' the pump will not engage unless the engine is running.
I have wired the system in onto an accessory switched 12 volt circuit rather than #2 switched circuit. This should not affect how the system runs or make the pump start pumping water into the intake by istelf. It's a bit of a pain because the water will flow back to the supercharger one way and the throttle body the other as the jets are installed at the highest point.
On turning the key to #2 (run) the W.INJ light was coming on (now it's not since i've been having problems) and the S lights up as it should (pre problems anyway)
On starting everything was working as it should.
I have currently wired the system in this way:
Feed for HFS cpu:
Red - switched 12V on cigarette lighter
Black - Negative return on lighter
White - Negative return on lighter
Yellow RJ45:
Ignition switched 12 volt (i'm pretty sure, once i've finished this i'll go check)
green - injector number 1 for duty cycle.
I wish to hook up the map sensor link as well later.
I have not changed any settings as yet. It's as factory set apart from the bars graph on the guage. I'm a bit confused as to what to do next because the fault seems to be intermittent.
Do I need to use the level sensor ? Can you bypass it ? As I wish to put in a different leve sender in as well, one with a led light and one with a little buzzer that will run seperately to the system. I have a 24litre tank though so it's not really a concern anyways.
Something I noticed today:
When the guage is showing just the orange level sensor light and refusing to turn on, if I remove the blue RJ45 jack from the control box and plug it back in again, the guage turns on and the system will work for a short period of time before turning off again. The blue RJ45 plug LED on the control box is not the green/yellow colour either, it's more orange compared to the res of them. So I am pretty certain that the problem is something to do with the level sensor, hopefully I can get enough information from here because noone else remotely near where I live has ever heard of these kits and the suppliers don't know much either, so i'm on my own.
Thanks muchly in advance.
