Get one straight from Japan off ebay and save a couple hundred bux. I paid $845 shipped from jap parts specialist, cut the four wires, and everything works great.

After all this, you installed it w/o cutting wires? God...it's wasted effort helping some ppl... And where'd you get this 150 miles BS? The PFC will learn your idle if you FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS on the spot. Takes about 30 minutes.

Seriously, if you aren't going to follow directions, or listen to the advice of those who know more than you, please just save us the time and don't ask. Really.

well I was at Rotary Power and they said not to cut it and see if it runs because some of them according to them, some power fc's run fine without cutting them. And I was told by their Power FC tuner that it'll learn till about 150 miles the car, not the idle the idle is fine. So I WAS listening to those that know more than me. If you want to be a jerk about it. Geez what ran up your butt? If it doesn't work after then I'll cut the wires like you said. I'm not disregarding the info you guys gave me. Just following some instructions that a reputable shop gave me. That was seriously the worst I've been flamed on here about something so small, I'm not a little kid, yeah I'm young but I've been around cars quite a bit and I can see how some people get offended because of us here on this board.

anyway. I'll heed everyone's advice and remove the wires. They have the tool to actually take them out of the wiring harness. (Much easier than the good ole paper clip). I'll let you guys know what the update is.
