Idles very roughly and overfuels Have you checked the J3 port is clean as per the installation guide emailed to you? Shane, will get back to you. Cheers, Jason

Yeah I cleaned it as per your guide, I could try it again if you think it may help. It seems to be working just not compatible ? A fan stays on and it barely idles but is fine when the chip is removed.
Thanks, |

I've got a stage 2 cam in my 1996 EL Fairmont Ghia (Unsure of the make, as the bloke before me lost the receipts) But am interested in getting a J3 chip down the track. Before I do, I want to know if there is a way to check if my car all ready has a performance chip? Because I know very little when it comes to ECU related materials.
I doubt that it would, as I live in NSW and the closest dealer/tuner is on the Central Coast, and the bloke I bought the car off lived in Hornsby. Cheers, REW93N

Hey mate,
Chips can be done to spec via mail order, so it could already have something. Have a look at the ECU under the passenger kick panel. If it has a black plastic cover on the bottom of the ECU, it doesn't have a chip. See http://www.tiperformance.com.au/Technic ... 20Chip.pdf for more info. Cheers, Jason

Cheers, Jason Thanks for the quick reply, mate! I'll have a look at it soon. If I was to order a chip, how could I determine the "mail order specs" to suit my car?

No probs.
Have a good read of the website, it explains some of the things I need. Shoot me an email with some detailed specs of the car and I'll let you know if there's anything else. Cheers, Jason

Had a ball today at the boostedfalcon.net Cruise for Charity 2011! The guys put on a great event at the Dandenong Showgrounds with a great a food and drinks setup including Krispy Kreme & Red Bull promos. Well over 300 cars there, a few non-Fords and plenty to do including the SPL comp, run by MEA. Almost took out the Street A SPL class hitting 137db playing Pendulum in the EF
Big thanks to {DESCRIPTION}, {DESCRIPTION}, {DESCRIPTION}, and {DESCRIPTION} for displaying their cars in our stand, our lovely merch girls and everyone that came over to say hi! A pic of our site:  Plenty more pics at https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set ... 630&type=1 Cheers, Jason

Is there any advantage getting a j3 chip, with an xr6 tune for example, if the car is stock?

Still have the issue with the A/C staying on all the time unless I turn off the fan. Not sure if this is an issue specific to AU2/3 with the J3 or if that is just a coincidence thus far for me on the 2 installs. It appears all the right signals are on the ports of the ecu coming from the fan & a/c switch, but I would like to double check that soon to confirm. Shane |

I ended up taking my J3 out of my AUII because of the same problem. I thought I just hadn't cleaned it properly so I took it out untill I had time to play with it.
Can you shed any light on this issue Jas ? I'm considering putting my auto back in and the J3 will need a re-tune but I'm not keen on re-tuning if it's still not going to work with my au.

sure am. seems the later au models are assumed compatible with apparent differences. Exact same problem as yours, yet to be resolved.
We all know what assumption does...
