Yep, what he says ^^
No idea if its the same with Mk1's but on Mk2 Clios you cant just take an ECU from another car and use it because it codes itself to the immobiliser of that vehicle. You have to get it reflashed / reset to use on another car or buy a brand new one.

i dont hav an imobiliser... has an alarm but not an imobiliser mmmm
i diddnt need an ecu got this 1 because of the chip and remapped to a decatted valver (like mine )
so best bet is to take it and get it checked by renault or some garage if its alive can then get it reprogrammed for my alarm / car??

Whats the ECU no. including the letter at the end of it.
B, right, it doesnt have an in-built Immobiliser.
Do you have the injectors firing?

yea i get you. Is the rev counter reading? try resetting the ecu by unplugging the battery for 6ish hours. then reconnect it and plip the doors unlocked and locked 5 or 6 times, all doors/boot/bonnet closed. this will also hep reset the ecu.
If the revcounter isnt reading, your looking towards crank sensor being dodgy.

duhhhno worries, its all a learning curve!
Follow the top radiator hose to the head, then go down to the gearbox there will be a small sensor attached to the top of the gearbox, if this isnt reading the rev counter wont read, as its not recognising the engine is turning.

yea, but isit working with this ecu? they do have a habit of packing up over night!
well if its the sensor then its about £13. and its pish easy to change, 2 10mm bolts, and 1 plug.
williams 2 turbo
if its still not working, ive got a spare superchipped ecu for sale. your more than welcome to try it before you part with the cash. post me if interested. steve
Sorry to hear that.
just been down the renault garage. they rekon it need to be re programed ready for a different code from my car. (expensive) OR its cuz it fhas had water in it as there is white s**t everywhere! so ive asked for my money back from white valver see if he replys. ffs!
ok i know its like EDIT the post but i cba,
it works now
pulled it apart and saw that the superchip was only connected on 1 side... grr ut it in properly now it works, fook me wat a difference, revs to just under 8000 rpm ... 
not a regular thing me taking up there tho dotn wanna blow my engine up. so must faster now..
