I did a search and found that ECU's can possibly be repaired but Im not sure if this can be repaired anyways here is the situation. I had a OBD1 P72 in my car when I bought it Im not sure if this ECU had these problems before or after this happened. I was trying to get this car that I had just bought out of this guys garage and the battery was dead. Well it was dark in there and I didnt have a good flashlight well needless to say the battery wires got crossed while installing a battery and it fried a couple fuses and what not but other than that I didnt find any problems. Well the ECU that I used to get the car home with constantly threw a code for the VTEC solenoid, the O2 sensor, and one other thing cant remember. The car ran like complete crap until I got another ecu which was a chipped P28. It was crazy the ecu would actually try to engage the vtec while the car was idling and it sounded crazy I thought that I had a problem in the valvetrain and the car wouldnt idle right at all and I spent money on parts that I didnt need when all along it was that bad ECU. So my question is can this ecu be repaired by anyone? I would like to give the P72 another try since Im still running the stock GSR intake mani and its basically a stock engine. Also this P72 was for an automatic and I would like for that portion of the ECU to eliminated so I dont get a check engine light. Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated.

you wont know til you send it off to a place that does repair ecus. i know there is s upposed to be a business in houston that does that kind of work though it usually starts at around $175

 

Damn its that much?? Ill just toss it or somethign if its gonna be that high priced. I wander if getting it rechipped would fix all the problems that ECU has?

 

it all depends on what got burnt on it.

 

Well what is this place called? and do they charge just to look at it and see what is messed up?

 

i will try and find out, i heard about them through a calvage yard do work for.
as far as i know they are a large scale operation, so i would assume they will biull for troubleshooting.
