Fitting a chip
« on: 15 June 2009, 10:39 »
I've got a ecu chip that i would like to fit, but when i've opened up my ecu there is two chips that can be replaced. One is on the main board and the other is on a small board. Which is the one i replace?

Thanks :)

Doesnt the ignition module sit on top of the ecu?

They have quite a large size difference tho.

the chip goes on the main board. 

some digifant2 2 ecu's have 1 chip some have 2 .   most places used to put a blanck chip in the 2nd socket.  may be abel to tak erht e chip out and just leave it empty possobly

well i had a look at the chips on beavis digifast before he killed it.

it once was a two chip ECU,   the eprom on the main board had the same amount of data on it as the eproms from te singel eprom ecu's and the 2nd eprom on the daughter board was blank
