Apparently I need a new ECU

[Tony Hunter]

No worries, if you do end up needing one you can have it. I'm sure if you sort Fred out with beer he'll post it.

I was there yesterday

Are you doing the Bedford day on 22nd?

I'll be there either way, possibly in my newly finished car or as a spectator taking snaps.

Wasn't one I was planning, but I'll have a few coming up soon fingers crossed.

Cool, well I'll be doing RS Brands day too

Notice anything missing?

 

[Jonny1*2]

Tempted by that, but it's miles away. Kent isn't it

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

^ Yeh, but well worth it. It's a bit of a trek for me too.

Spent all day there when Burpspeed raced there, looks like an awesome track, so it's a 'must do' for me.

 

[Jonny1*2]

I've got oulton, cadwell and donny between in the next three months hopefully. When's brands?

22nd September

 

[Jonny1*2]

Boooo! I'm away! I'll defo have to do it at some point. Might combine it with a ring trip.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Notice anything missing?

Only just seen this Dan, same sort of problem with mine.

Immobiliser stays on permanent and wont start, i've had it plugged into Renault Clip and there's no response from the ECU on mine either! Mine only had the battery disconnected for a month also, so i'll probably be giving Mr Faulkes a ring in the not too distant future also.

As Jonny said it'll turn out to be wiring related or something as daft as the decoder ring... possibly some moisture somewhere playing silly buggers to if its been parked up a fair while. Do not let ANYONE replace the ECM!!

In cases where the ECM doesn't give any response it still can turn out to be a wiring issue and the looms need checking out to ensure power and earths are going to where they need to be and then the diag port needs looking at... I can't believe how many sports are going down at the minute. I've got a UCH coming my way for two new central locking relays this week due to water ingress.

Already tried the decoder ring trick with 2 other decoder rings but no to avail. I'm guessing the best way to get something like this fixed then is a reputable auto electrician?
