ECU Advice
« on: 07 February 2007, 20:44 »
My engine just died on me the other week!  :sad: After having an auto electrician do some tests he said everything pointed towards the ECU. Does anyone know whether you should just be able to plug the new 1 in or does it need tuning/programming somehow??
Thanks in advance.

wont need reprogramming, just a another compatible unit, eg. if yours is an 8v digi, get another ecu from a digi. also, there were different manufacturers of those ECUs, i.e. Bosch/Tan and so get the corresponding one.

I don't think a semi will give the same results

what are the symptoms, the first thing you should do if you suspect a dead ECU, is to remove all the battery/starter/alternator wires, and give the connections a good clean with sandpaper till they're shiny.  Especially the gearbox earth, as a loose/poor gearbox earth will cause the ECU to blow.  You don't want the new one to blow as well do you? ;)
