I used to have a code 16 which i thought is the injector then someone suggested to replace the main relay which i did , now i dont have any hot day start up problem.

after autocrossing last week , a crazy problem poped up , in the middle of my run , my car just died without any reason.

i then pull out the ecu and saw a code 15 , i read the faq and did a check but couldnt find much info to verify which part is bad.

i check the connection it seems good , how do i know if i have a bad ecu? because i am afraid i fried mine from resetting too much.

and the c211 connector , it's just dangling there i bought the car like that and there is no bracket. i dont know if it might be that problem but evertime it dies , i go out and pop the hood and try to squeeze the connector harder and it will start back just fine. or should i get an ecu?

hate when this happens when im on the main street or the highway , it's just embarassing and troublesome i have to push my car to the road side.

 

Code 15 =ignition output signal
usually the ignitor..
Also check the wires going to it for connection problems.

Instead of squishing the connector. Try to push the wires towards each other.
This will push the contacts inside the connector together.

 

do you think zip-tieng the wires like you said pushing it together would work ?

where can i located the ignitor? and how to know if its faulty or its the faulty ecu?

i cut off the rubber thing on the c211 connector cause i cant reach the connector with it on.

yea i did exactly according to that website. no dice though.

sometimes its ok and sometimes its not , its making me afraid to drive it out as it would be dangerous

 

no help people? it's really really troubling me ... its not the igniter . how could i know if its the ecu?

 

can you try a different ECU.. borrow a friends? and also maybe try a different distributor..
I had problems similar to that at two seperate times.. both times it was distributor related

 

hmm...sorry from deviating from the discussion here..but i'm throwing a code #16 rite now..i replaced the main relay's nothing...made sure everything was grounded..nothing..jsut did a MPFI but haven't gotten the car fired up yet...

 

well then start it already ....*laughs*

a different distributor eh..... how can i check if its a bad distributor? any tips?

really need help cause its my daily drive
