seriously if you had two different FCD and they both have the same fault its pretty unlikley to be that,
i would say that wiring needs to be checked again,
use the diagram below but dont use the colours to corespond positions,
use the positions on the diagram count down to the wires on the diagram then count down the wires on the ecu remember the diagram is looking ecu side.
set fcd between number 7 and 9
i had a simular problem installing my HKS FCD as i was using colours not postions on the diagram
hope this helps

it should work man its only 3 wires, and u checked 2 fcd, i would say u had them connected up wrong by the sounds of the fuel pump still running on u.

sorry man 4 wires, relax yourself and have a good look at the bottom diagram above, maybe print it off and bring it out to your car with u, count the ecu pins twice to be sure it the rite ones, cut that pim wire, join the yellow fcd wire to the pim wire (ecu side), then join the white fcd wire to the other end of the pim, then u only have 2 wires left to join in to, fcd black to e2, fcd red to +b.

i suppose even though its pretty unlikely that both fcd's are faulty an easy way to check would be to use mine but my cars off the road at present until i can get another intercooler pipe,
and no it wouldnt make any difference with it being a 82 advance

Does the check engine light come on when you start the engine with the FCD connected up?

Take some photos of your FCD wiring and post them here.
