Can they check my ecu and tell me if there is a fault without it being in the car???

 

Yes we can, but to test some of the functionality it's much easier to do it in a car

 

Problem is James my car won't start. If I get my ecu to you this week how long would it take for you to check it over?

 

i take it you have eliminated all other possible problems beforehand mate?

 

Well, I think so. I'd like another ecu to try but nobody will help me

 

Hopefully I can get msd to look at my ecu this week and tell me that's where the fault lies

 

have you asked to borrow an ecu ?????

where are you based

jas

 

Ive tried a couple of people I know. And they won't. My mates got l6's but no l8's. I'm based in Chester. It would be a massive help if I could just try an ecu. Just to either confirm or eliminate it

 

well an l6 should make it fire, i lent mine to cochyn to try and he confirmed his ecu was dead

jas

 

It wouldn't fire on an l6 we tried yesterday. But I don't know if that's a working ecu. Last time I used it everything was perfect and I come to start it on Friday and nothing? I haven't touched anything on the car?? It's the fact that it runs spot on with the phase sensor unplugged that is pushing me towards a faulty ecu/chip or baby board

 

you say it runs fine, did it rev, did you take it for a spin to test it ??

jas

 

I've not taken it out of the garage. But yeah it revs up, the idle is a bit high but if you unplug the iscv it's as good as normal. It's really strange. Ive tried 3 phase sensors and 2 crank sensors. Double checked that everything is plugged in correctly and checked for a spark and I have 12v at the injectors with the ignition on. I've belled the wires from the crank and phase sensor out at the ecu and everything is fine.

 

mmmmmm strange, i can't understand why an l6 wouldn't start your engine though, have you checked the engine loom for any broken wires etc.

jas

 

Yeah the loom is in great condition. I'm no auto electrician though. Surely if it was a broken wire then it would have given me some sort of indication last time I drove it

 

surely one of the msd lads can confirm if l6 will run l8 etc

That's what I'm waiting for. It's just a shit that it happened on the weekend when everyone is busy or closed
