Greddy Boost Profec B Spec 2 Controller - Turning off and on repeatedly

Good day.

Hope all is safe and well. I wanted post a short video that I recorded of what the controller is doing. Basically, it starts up, turns off and restarts... does this constantly whether the car is idling or being driven. Any ideas of what to focus on as a potential fix?

I searched the site over and over to see if I could find a similar case and had no luck.

Thanks in advance for any help or pointers.

It sounds like the boost controller has gone bad. Can you adjust the boost?

Thank you for sharing.

If the thing would stay on and sometimes it does, I can adjust the boost and option between lo and hi. It just keeps turning on and off periodically and I'm thinking it is as simple as a hot/negative wire may be loose. I purchased another good boost controller, plugged it up and the same thing is occurring. Again, leads me to believe that there may be an issue with a hot/negative wire.

I plan on testing the wires today so, we shall see. I'll share my findings as well, just in case someone else may ever have the same issue.

Cheers,
Allen

I finally got around to take some time to address the controller turning on and off. As stated previously, I purchased a newer replacement controller, hooked it up and the same thing was occurring.

I quickly found the culprit and it was something very simple. I ended up checking all the connections and came across three connectors (main connectors to the methanol module and both connectors to/from the methanol pump) were pushed into their slots but were not fully seated. As I ensured all were connected properly, three said connectors clicked into place and instantly fixed the controller from turning off and on repeatedly. I guess the benefit for this is that I now have a good replacement controller for the vehicle, just in case.


Cheers,
Allen

Glad you got it sorted out and that it was a simple fix.
