h100vw 0 Posted April 12, 2004 Dude if it ran at all even on 2 cylinders, I wouldn't say your ECU is gone. If you get sparks and fuel, even in the wrong amounts and timing.I think you can get this to run again. Make sure you have no air leaks and all vac pipes are on correctly. Especially the 2 on the TB. The top pipe goes to the ECU. Check all the engine earth wires. The ones on the side of the head to the water outlet bolt are favourites for corrosion. The Lamdba probe is another thing that can have drastic effects if not working correctly. Gavin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
