i have a p07.. that is showing code 0...guessing its my ecu... can i use a p08 ecu to see if i still get code 0? as long as i dont try to start it ? just wanna know it if my ecu or if i have a short where i jump the wire

 

are you sure its code 0??

 

cel is on at all times jumped or not but it still runs so think code just ant getting sent or ecu is messed up somehow

 

Could have tried it by now.

 

lol^ agreed. but yes solid CEL=0 (ECU/ECM) replace it

 

yep sounds like it may be as fried as a nugget from mcdonalds...

 

Check for a short in the brown service connector wire.

 

i was just wondering if the p08 would mess anything up... pretty sure its just d16 insted of d15

 

This. Could also mean a prob with the wire vs. actual ECU.

 

for as cheap as the oem ecu's go for i say replace the ecu with a known good unit.

Wire shortage is possible but i highly doubt it unless something has been done near the ecu wiring loom/harness recently.

 

As a rule, always diagnose a problem to the best of your ability before throwing parts and money at possible solutions.

 

how do i check for short in it... not to good with electronics ... i have a digatal molta meter

 

Already covered this with OP in the other thread:

He has got Code 0, but the car starts, I advised he check ecu ground and for a short in the service connector as per the FSM.

 

^pretty sure there good but not really sure if i check them right -_-

 

Use a multimeter to test whether the wire has continuity to body ground (=short).
