no, that is a reasonable shop rate for custom fabricating a wiring harness.

You'd want to take you car there and have them estimate the number of hours needed. I can't guess at that. I know what my custom wiring cost -- wasn't cheap.

Since no one has tuned the Yaris as far as I know with an eManage, there is a risk of an extended stay while they work out problems -- and that may or may not be on the clock.

If someone else has done it, you can maybe get wiring schematics and a base map from them.

Tamago, four of us have failed with the FI-C. Doesn't mean it can't be done, but it hasn't been done successfully yet. AEM won't help, either.

if the FIC fails, the emanage will fail..

engine management is just grabbing signals (inputs) from your stock sensors then making changes and sending outputs to the ECU to trick it into giving more fuel or removing timing. at the same time it's grabbing outputs for spark and fuel and retarding (timing) and adding (fuel) as needed..

if the AEM unit failed it's because either the shop did not use the proper resistors in the wiring harness, or because the ECU is simply un-molestable (which i find hard to believe)

those of you with tuning issues should be looking to the 07+ tC tuners. they'll have the same electronic protocall as you (DBW, the "newer" MAF, etc) they've had issues using the FIC and many of those issues have been corrected using resistors

just going by what i know and have read on the scion forums.

Garm, what year is your tC and what are you using for management? Hydra?
