Charlie,
Sorry but just sticking and ecu on the desk and testing it with a signal generator is NOT the definitive way of testing it.
A signal generator will not produce/simulate the correct crank signal with missing pulses, the correct shaped waveform, duty cycle or the correct run time resistive load, let alone all the normal noise transients present in such a signal.
Now, I am in no way having a go at EP and am just responding what people have said here.
It seems to me that no "proper" diagnosis has actually happened but a replacement ecu has been fitted and the problem solved.
That proves nothing to me speaking as an electronics professional with extensive ecu experience.
Having said this, as this appears to be a known problem then I guess its easy to assume the ecu is at fault.
I would be very interested in hearing what Gotech say about this if it was my car !
For the record, I am, 100% independant of EP and Gotech and I mean no disrespect to either organisations.
