Advice Please! Apexi Ecu?

[james666]

evening all long time to see!!!!!!! i have a question i was wondering if anybody that has an apexi ecu has ever came across this problem.

driving car along and when came onto aroundabout the car cut out and would not start again???? so in trying to figure out coz of said problem i switched back to standard ecu and car starts and drives fine but when plug apexi back in it refuses to start.........???????

anybody got any ideas if they can loose the map from them????

probably a circuit inside the ecu, could be voltage regulator, but without proper knowledge of the insides of the ecu could be hard to diagnose

best course is either send it to someone who can repair/investigate or buy a new one

cant loose map as far as i am aware

oh i meant to say the car does turn over just wont run.???

[terzo neil]

probably circuitry inside the ecu either for ign or firing the injectors

if works with standard ecu, then looking at something inside the ecu

UK car or import?

Relevant question as the UK car need to have the CAM ond CRANK sensor wiring into ECU swapped whereas the WRX STi does not.

Worth thinking about when checking the ECU.
