i was wondering if i could drive my car without the ecu? if so what are the side effects? my friend has a zc swap in his eg with a teggy ecu(not sure what kind) would i be able to run that ecu just to get me to a shop?......any input would be appreciated.

 

can you walk without your brain? no, the ecu controls everything. I don't know if a teg (btw, need to know which teg) ecu will run it. It's possible, but I really can't say.

 

with the integ ecu it'll probably run...but it might run like **** if its a bad match

99% sure your car won't start with no ecu. never tried it, wouldn't recommend it

 

100% your car won't start without ecu. In fact, if i'm going out of town, i'll take my ecu with me so nobody can drive off in it. its a very common anti theft measure.

yea I usually just pull a fuse or two...of course we all know if they really want it, they will get it.

 

OMG! Fuel injected Honda's do NOT run without ecu's, period.

you think that's bad, try driving in memphis. if it starts raining, everyone on the road slams on the brakes, and you'll see an accident of every 5 or so miles you drive on a busy road. last week it started raining while i was on the highway (not even raining hard, visibility was not a problem), and i saw at least 5 people pull off the road on to the shoulder because they were too nervous to keep driving. it's f ing ridiculous here. Despite their love for nascar, southerners in general cannot drive for ****.

 

you think southerners are bad, try foreigners. There's lots of people from all different foreign countries who live near my work and they drive crazy as hell. Half of them drive slow as hell in their lexus SUVs and never turn right on red, fail to signal at all and generally are oblivious of everyone else on the road. The other half drive really fast and reckless. None of them are familiar with our traffic laws and driving etiquette. I'm not even gonna mention the yuppie benz drivers and cell phone minivan soccer moms...

those 2 groups are everywhere, and of couse they have to drive 5 mph everywhere they go in a vehicle designed to invade small countries. i think it's also a rule that in the south you either have turn signals or ac, and everyone wants ac. and don't get me started on car insurance.

 

sure u can drive ur car without an ecu....cut a hole underneath ur feet...flintstones style it up
