triple j Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 U can test it at the map sensor on the two wires or the ecu side, as its not starting with the plug and play compare voltages between both ecu's on turn over, unplug king lead and take out efi fuse on the stock ecu testing just to get an even reading if u get me.

daniel_g Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 The seal on the Mines is broken, have you opened up the ECU ? I had one of these and its a beast of an ECU, i really hope you can get it working. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
corofin12345 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 theres a simple way to check to see if the ECU is compatible with your car.. put the 2 ECU's together and check the pins to see if they are the same Quote Link to post Share on other sites
corofin12345 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) alternatively you can check it this way.. 89/92 pins differ to 92/96 pins.. some wires are different and some are not there at all between ECU's check your wires on your loom to ECU to make sure it matches all the pins.. PDF below shows the differences in the EP82 ECU's.. http://homepage.ntlworld.com/dub.se7en/TGTT/ecus_4E-FTE.pdf Edited February 4, 2014 by corofin12345 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Green Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 The best option for electrical/technical advise is TGTT. Although I would call UKSO my 'home' I tend to go to TGTT for really technical stuff. A few wizards on there tend not to use UKSO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sandham Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 Yeah the starting issue turned out to be plugs... I bought it like that i wouldnt know what i was looking at if i did open one lol!Ill try get a multi meter to do the map sensor and ill ask on tgtt also didnt think of that chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Socks Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Have you opened this ECU up? As seals are torn? Some of these plug and play ECU's have light sensitive chips in them. If exposed to light, they wipe themselves I believe... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Idrees Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Come and try it in my EP82, I'm only in Huddersfield Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikey4410 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 why the heck would you buy after market ecu with seals open ?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sandham Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) It was sold to me with the seals broken "tested working" by a member on here with good positive feedback..I havent done anything with it other than plug it into my car.

Jamie5414 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Take a run down to Idrees and test it out mate... Best thing you can do at this point.. If it works then at least you know it's not the ECU thats at fault. If it doesn't work then return it it's quite simple. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dangeestarlet Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 It's a lot of money for it not to work, I'm gutted for you mate hope you get it sorted Quote Link to post Share on other sites
