HELP ME PLEASE

[fcuk1_6]

after changing half the bits in the engine bay (and spending over a grand and a half) to try to stop the check engine light coming on in my MY93 its looking like it MUST be the ECUs faulty.

Would anyone be so kind as to loan me an ECU to try for 2 seconds in my car to see if it works? The work would be done by Semtech motors in Kirkintilloch so no half assd jobs by some1 who doesnt know what they're doing.

I know its alot to ask but I really am at the end of the road (and my teather).

I have a z4 ecu from a 94-95 wrx you could try, but i'm in fife

[fcuk1_6]

Is the ECU in your car at the moment? Ill ask the mechanic if the Z4 would be suitable and let you know ASAP mate, thanks for the offer.

[FastScooby]

The Z4 is in at the moment .. it has the 4 plug connector so should fit

if you are still stuck i have a U8 you could try if you want, im in edinburgh. Its sitting on a shelf at home so if you did need it i would meet you somewhere near/in edinburgh.

Is you car in Halleys?

[fcuk1_6]

yeh,howd u know that?

yeh,howd u know that?

My m8 is working on it and they are at their wit's end about it.

It's a import isn't it.

[fcuk1_6]

yeh, its a MY93. Its drivin me up the wall 2 trust me.

Ive had the turbo changed, new radiator, belts, pulleys, numerous sensors all to try 2 sort this out, ive spent a fortune on the thing to no avail and hardly seen the car in two months!

Halleys cant find me a 2nd hand ecu and a new on will cost a grand so hence my plea for help.

I'll look into tomorrow for you to help you out.

When you need to decide on a new ECU if you can't get one second hand bear in mind that a certain mapper well known to many on here can supply the Apexi PFC and map it for your car for £750 []

you can still try my U8 if you like mate. but again im in edinburgh so you would have to do the lions share of the traveling but id be happy to meet you at the west side of the city.

Just pm me if you want my moby no.

 

[ormiboy]

oops forgot to say it would have to be tomorrow, as i cant meet you tonight.

 

sorry

I think he needs one with 3 plug on the ecu

MY93-96 ECU's are all 4-Plug M8.

i think theres still a group but on scoobynet just now for Apexi`s + controllers maybe worth looking into m8

I touch goats mate

[fcuk1_6]

Got the new/borrowed ECU in and finally got the check engine light out, WOOOOWHOOOO!

Stil not boosting quite rite but Ive been told the turbo gaskets leaking and that should be getting replaced tommorrow, fingers crossed.

Just to thank eveyone for their help and advice.

[ormiboy]

no worries,

 

get it on a rolling road soon as, just to make sure you are fueling well, and make sure you try a power run with the alternate map switch on cos it might fuel and boost just fine without the de-cat.

cheers.
