I've been running this setup for a couple of months now, out of nowhere the car throws CEL last night while driving, It killed itself I tried to restart it, and no luck. I tried jumping the CEL harness, and it just stays solid, I used a paper clip and wire, and to no avail. Can anyone help me out? Don't link me to c-speed racing or anything, because I know how to check for codes, but it just stays solid.

 

Dosen't that mean your ECU is dead ?

 

take out your ECU and open it up ..see if it got all burnt up inside.. i have seen this 2 or 3 times.. if not take it to a shop and let them pull the code with a real scanner.. my bet is the ECU is fucked.. does the motor crank? does the fuel pump prime? anything??

that was my thought as well...the motor cranks and turns, but it doesn't turnover.

 

anyone got a socketed p74, p75, or p06 they can loan me?

 

did you take out the ECU and look yet.. ??.. i have taken some aart and the ECU itself is toasted

 

take a look at the ecu only takes 30 mins, this sounds crazy

 

I took a look at it and the top looked fine, i didn't check the bottom of the ECU. It's highly possible that it is the ECU. I had the ECU out for quick rom burning, so it was sitting on the ground. Last night I had to make an evasive manuever so the soda may have landed right on top of it last night. The cover was on, but yes I'm a dumbass.

 

yeah check the flip soide of the ECU... you may be able to smell if it got burned.. but it may just be fucked.. bad chip install or somethig

Nah, the chip has been the same way for sometime, I'll check the otherside of the ECU.

That's what I'm doing, waiting for it to arrive.

 

if its not, check to see if your timing may have jumped... or your dizzy is still ok... my car did that a few weeks ago, the distributor was toast could not see it unless i took off the cap'

hope something works for you bro' keep us updated.

 

I tried a p07 just now and it cleared the codes, so it is in fact the ECU, I'm getting another one tomorrow. Thanks for confirming my suspicions guys.

 

nice job, i have a ecu to get rid of

 

yea i was just about to say it was either the ecu or your burned chip.
