It seems pretty simple to me if it was a recent install then the safc is causing it, but if it isn't then it could be a number of reasons.

hes had the safc2 installed for about 2 years now but the car has been sitting 18 months out of the 2 years hes had it. i think he needs to take out thr safc2. but how hard is that?

Personally, that would be my first move...if it still does it then you have eliminated the safc.
