Hey guys I have had some problems with my aem v1 I would hit a dip and the car would shut off or start running badly with misfire where I couldn't even drive it and sometimes wouldn't turn back on/fix itself unless I gave the ecu a little tap and after a year finally shut off turns on and only idles if I give it gas it will die idles fine too and my love tap won't fix it anymore lol anything I can do or aem can do?

NEW PROBLEM!

 

Well not a guru, but the "love tap" would make one think that you have a loose connection or cracked circuit board.Have you opened it up?

 

Yeah I opened her up everything looks fine nothing loose and was connected right I bought it used here on s2ki and the warranty seal was already tore so guy before me had gotten into it that's prob why it was forsale in the first place

 

My ems was having power issues and wasn't connection to my pc either, so I called aem got a rma number and sent it to them and they fixed it and mailed it back with no issues.

 

Make sure all your grounds and power supplies are good to the ecu, if everything checks out you will have to send it in for repair.

i had the same issue at one time...i gunned the car the aem simply quit and died no spark. i checked all the sensors - relays - ground - fuel pressure and they are all good. i put the stock ecu....brooooom!
then i put the aem back .......broooom! what da!!! i kept the car, i didn't drive it since(3 mos) --- maybe i should drive it and check it carefully this week. Look like its gonna be mid 50's in New england this week.

 

Not so sure it would be power ground just showing up on the ems...it is supplied by the harness, you would think that you would be having other electrical issues if it is a bad ground. I bought a used v1 and it had a rattle in it...so I broke the seal to find one of the screws that holds the connectors on the inside had backed out.

If the circuit board is cracked you may or may not be able to see it and a gentle tap could make it connect again...so you may want to have it sent in and repaired. If you do that make sure you save your map to your laptop...they may erase it?

 

Yeah that's true I have already sent it of for repairs and still have my maps on my email when I took the box apart everything looked fine but when I first got it I could also hear a rattle but I didn't find anything 0.o

 

Ok guys well before I sent off my ecu it would start my car and it would idle but any kind of throttle would kill the car so I sent it of pmrom was loose and they fix it I installed it when I got it back did the same thing so I called them back they said I had to upload my calibrations again so I did and its doing the exact same thing just idles any kind of throttle kills it I'm guessing I either didn't upload right or something this is what I did dl aem program download calibration from email to desktop plug to the ecu work offline went ecu -send new calibration- and downloaded calibration and it loaded all the way down and that was it then still does the same thing so any help would be good >.<

 

have you checked to make sure all the sensors are reading correctly?

And the warranty stickers are mostly useless.. they only have a 1 year warranty..

normally if there is a problem with the eeprom you wont even be able to connect to it with your computer.

check your map sensor plug.. since you said when you hit a bump it messed up, that leads me to believe there is a loose connection, the map sensor plugs are notorious for coming loose.
