Default Is a P28 ECU okay?

Im going to try a P28 ECU on my H22 to see if it will finally run, Should I use this one or try to find the 72?

You could chip the p28 and run the h22 map on it

Is the P06 chipped or something? ECUs for H22s rare or something?

Bought the car with it? It was dyno'd SO my guess it was chipped as there is already a rev limiter in the car( Guessing its in the ECU). Should I go to a P13 or not? This was running fine for 6 months then shut off on me.

It was dyno'd? On what EMS? Or is it only chipped?

Said? You don't know? So that means you don't know it was ever put on a dyno either. And how do you know the P06 is "all messed up"? Are you also guessing about this too?

WTF are we even changing the ECU out for? You never mentioned any of that. Probably why this thread has gotten absolutely nowhere.

Dont want to mention it because as far as i know NO ONE know ive posted many on this forum with no response, 3 months ago, it started to pop a check engine light whenever i shut the car off for 5-10 min and couldnt turn the car on. Then 2 months ago it started while i was driving switching gears usually around 3000 rpm(I have a rev limiter at 3000, potentialy the problem?) And it happened to where it turns on maybe every other day but shuts off fast. This is what the problem is


And just to make you happy

And ive had it at 2 different mechanics, who rewired everything and they say the problem is the ecu isent telling the injectors to keep a spark or something...

Sparking injectors? How about take it back to the shop to was "tuned" at? What codes did it throw? Without knowing that you're just guessing just like you're doing now. This is what you get when you buy someone else's POS project and not familiar with what went into it.

This is why you don't start umpteen threads on the same issue. Now no one knows what been suggested nor what you've done, which seems to be nothing. First it was the battery that you didn't even want to get checked because it cost you $350. So what? Now you've decided it';s the ECU. Tell you what, get any ECU you want and see what happens since you like taking stabs in the dark rather than doing real troubleshooting.

Default Re: Is a P28 ECU okay?

first off the computer doesent want to give any codes, 2nd I brought the car to 2 different mechanics and spent over 800$(total about 10-12 hours) so they can "find the problem/Diagnose" and that is all they give me... Thats all the words they tell me they said they get the car started but dies minutes later As that same thing happened to me but I could have drived maybe 50km before it would happen 2 months ago... And as I stated in my threads its most likely not the battery that was my first guess as people told me to check it and i did.

Something to do with the injectors not doing what its suppose to do and they keep telling me its the ecu or security system.

Appearently you can only read between the lines? As I answered most of your questions in my threads your just stating them in here where i didnt. And you just took your time to read them....

Well took it to a better mechanic, needed a main relay, wireing to the distributor, re programmed ecu, and spark plugs

But it was the ECU!!! The ECU was the problem! You said so! Because you took the proper steps to diagnose the issue! And your "mechanic" reprogrammed the ECU? Sounds like bullshit. If, and I mean if, a Neptune unit is in that ECU no off the street car tech has the skills to reprogram it.

Yup i know thats what this store told me since I found out the previous owner built the car here... But he said he was either reprograming it or putting a new one in.
