Mike Edwards 0 Posted November 27, 2003 The black VR6 is sulking at the local Bosch garage at the moment. It has: Fuel in each cylinder (injectors serviced); Spark in each cylinder (new coilpack, lead and plugs); Compression in each cylinder (all well within tolerance); No hint of ignition in cylinder 3 whatsoever. The garage have asked to borrow my copy of the Bently... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted November 27, 2003 Have you tried the coilpack and leads from your other VR6? And perhaps the ECU too? Kev Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Edwards 0 Posted November 28, 2003 Problem has been traced to the ECU. It's sequentially injecting fuel into cylinder number 3 at completely the wrong time... :? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike Edwards 0 Posted November 28, 2003 It isn't a problem that a reset will fix. A replacement ECU is one option, but then I'd have to remap it to suit the Shrick etc. The garage are going to go looking for dodgy connections tomorrow... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevemac 0 Posted November 28, 2003 I'd have to remap it to suit the Shrick etc. Could you not just swap the mapping chip from your old ECU into the new one ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted November 29, 2003 Sounds like it's a hardwire fault on the main board, prolly a dry joint. Kev Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
