Curious if any Paxton Novi 2000 owners ever had to replace the Paxton Computer that also controls (runs) the auxillary fuel pumps? And possible causes?
Recently cracked both exhaust manifolds, burnt 2 spark plugs and wires and fried the cats in my Corsa exhaust (Why?...I don't know but that's another thread). After all was replaced the Viper tech noticed the Paxton auxillary pumps weren't coming on. After discussion with the Paxton technical expert, they decided it was the 16 month old computer. I initially considered not replacing the computer (expensive) since the Viper tech could rig power to the fuel pumps to turn them on and I use an SCT tuning device to manage the stock computer. But, the Paxton sales rep (Micah was very helpful, thanx) explained it probably wasn't a good idea to eliminate the Paxton computer. So I decided to purchase it.
Based on the above info, anyone have this happen before? Did the heat from the cracked manifold fry the Paxton computer? Micah claimed this was unusual, but said the heat (cracked manifold) may have caused it. I'm looking for possible causes (and warning Paxton owners) so I can prevent it from happening again.
