Having the ecu disconnected from power for long periods will NOT damage it or cause it to lose its memory.

Have you reconnected it properly ?

Ginge !

Ginge stop ruining the guys post!


As Said above having the ECU disconnected for a period of time wouldnt cause any problems. Make sure its connected 100% and hasnt come unpluged while fixing it back in the car.

If thats ok, it going to be a matter or tracking down parts see whats working, like making sure u got spark and fuel etc.

Ginge !
