1990timeismoney Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 Hi all plugged my hrf ecu in today and the resister went so I switched it straight of will it be ok to try it again or is it a easy fix.Luke Quote
turbo Grant Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 That don't look good! I wouldn't try it again like that. I take it this didn't happen when the stock ecu was plugged in as well? Quote
1990timeismoney Posted July 30, 2013 Author Posted July 30, 2013 No mate unplugged the old ecu put the new harness in then plugged the ecu I am having the harness checked its wired correct.Will this still be ok if I can get tje resister changed. Quote
daniel_g Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 Id say thats end game tbh. Is it a HFR P&P or the HRF Power FC ? Quote
AdamB Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 You might be ok if you change the resistor. Although finding out what resistance it should be is going to be tricky lol. Quote
TurboTobz Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 (edited) I wouldn't hold much hope if your gonna try and fix it pay some one who's a skilled electronics engineer not just some domestic sparky take it to a shop If I were you Edited July 30, 2013 by TurboTobz Quote
1990timeismoney Posted July 30, 2013 Author Posted July 30, 2013 Yeah its a plug and play ecu.Spoke to a avionics electrician and there going to fit a new resister they seem to think it should be ok I hope so been wanting to use this ecu for a while Quote
daniel_g Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 Is this the same one that was supposedly MK1 specific and a few wires had to be swapped about to run it ? Hope it can be saved Quote
turbo Grant Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 (edited) You might be ok if you change the resistor. Although finding out what resistance it should be is going to be tricky lol.Did you not see the picture in the first post haha Edit lol miss read. Just need to hope it's the same resistance as a stock ecu Got to give changing the resistor a go, see if it does the trick. Just home the pcb tracks ok. And defo get the harness double checked Edited July 30, 2013 by turbo Grant Quote
1990timeismoney Posted July 31, 2013 Author Posted July 31, 2013 Got the harness re wired plugged the ecu in and it worked idle was bit rich will this be ok to use still Quote
1990timeismoney Posted July 31, 2013 Author Posted July 31, 2013 Well plugged it in and drove it home boost fine and fueling seemed ok whats peoples opinion on using it still Quote
1990timeismoney Posted July 31, 2013 Author Posted July 31, 2013 Ive got a company replaceing the resister now seem to run and fuel fine but like u say big risk and the repair is free so ill just wait lol Quote
AdamB Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 I would wait till its repaired, Have no idea what that resistor is for on the PCB but it could well be something important. Quote
1990timeismoney Posted July 31, 2013 Author Posted July 31, 2013 Thanks for the advice mate.taken it out now.its crazy it worked absolutely fine when plugged in.Does anyone no where to get a ecu circuit diagram. Quote
