hi does any 1 know why my ecu would give out this fault code?

the car drives perfect, starts perfect.im thinking it could be down to a chip on the ecu?>

(maybe 1 of them cheap 1z off ebay that takes the rev limiter off but im not sure because it came like that when i bought it)

and i cant remember if it was fine first or not, i changed my dash bulbs n noticed the engine light bulb was missing, i ASSUMED it fell out some how because of the stiff ride and think i remember it coming on n off as normal in the beginning but does any 1 have any idea what it could be?

ive done a search but haven't come up with any thing,

Mr.Highlife

sorry for going off topic here but what if your throwing more then one code? for example what if you were throwing code 2 and 5, wouldnt it show up as code 7? im sorry im new at this..

eg9_fann

well thats depends on if its OBD 1 OR OBD 2...ie long flashes means 10 ie 2 long flashes mean 20 then 2 short quick flashes mean 2..so 22.....they both have different ways of letting you know.

mines actualy a code 0 coz i had it hooked up to a machine n thats the code it gave...faulty ECM.

Mr.Highlife

yeah its a OBD1 the reason i asked was because the speed sensor went out and i knew that would throw a code but I know thats not whats wrong with my EG.

your ecu could have a burnt circuit, got grounded, got wet and damaged some of the circuits...it could be a variety of things. have you taken it apart and looked at it? if it has a cheap ebay chip then that could have prob done something to it.

could be a burnt circuit, dont think it got grounded or wet or physically damaged...i think it was the ebay chip n the light was on from the beginning but the bulb for the check engine light was removed.iv had the car a year n its been running ok but i noticed the light n decided to 'replace the bulb' only to find there was no bulb in there at all lol!

i think its probs the chip coz it seems to be running fine.just got me paranoid
