Default AEM EMS installed...yea..WONT START

My tuner installed my AEM and he is saying that the fuel pump is getting no signal so the god damm car wont start.I am runing the older version I forgot which one it was (1.083) or something like that I am probably wrong.Anyways my tuner upgraded the software to the 1.1 . I know nothing about the aem ems....has any one every had this problem or am I getting my leg pulled for being a sucker and not knowing about the aem ems.If its a known problem can someone PLEASE give me a solution if its out there.thanks in advance

Will it work if you put the stock ecu back in?

try the AEM website and post this question on the forums there. Did you try it before the software upgrade?

did you adjust the TPS in the AEM EMS. Thats is when you have to press on the gas full and then it logs it and then save it.

yea I am in miami ! the tuners name is Abid hes use to work in south florida performance but now opened up his own shop.Basically I spoke to him and he is telling me I need a new e-prom......cause theres a glitch in the software. I seriously need to study the aem ems to learn about it cause I feel as if he is talking chinese to me.I understand some things like the basics about it but not every thing.As far as starting the car with the factory ecu he said that with the 680 cc sized injectors the car wont start .Well feel free for any inputs thanks again in advance.

I had a similar problem..... My problem was as follows....
When I turned the key to on...usually you will hear the fuel pump sending fuel to the fuel rail ect ect... I did not hear this... the cause...blown fuse I think it was the once located in the engine bay...... good luck.....
Now if you plug in the stock ecu an it starts then this is obviously not the situation.....

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but buying an EMS and trusting your local neighborhood performance shop to tune it is a bit like trying your hand at brain surgery by handing over a scapel to your neighbor. My advice: do a search for known and trusted EMS tuners in your area (you might try CJB80) who can help you out. I've been fussing with my EMS maps for 16 months now, and while the car runs reasonably well, I can attest to the fact that it's NEVER fully sorted out and over.

Good luck,
CB

there's a good tuner here in naples fl. He tunes for David at Liberty1 performance. PM me if you'd like Liberty's number. His name is Jared. These guys like FI and they've done several S2000's.
