Re: ECU Failing at Random

It was definitely ECU related. Got my new ECU in and Nistune works fine.

Re: ECU Failing at Random

Sigh. I gave up. Purchased a 3rd ECU. Sending it off to Autovaughn Performance here in the states for the install. Do not really know what I am going to do with the other 2 ECU's.

Now I just wish there was a way for launch control. Drag strip is right next door and I miss running it there.

Re: ECU Failing at Random

Yes it is. Just as tight as when I put my other ecu in. Sorry I haven't gotten on here sooner, I was replacing the oil pump.

Re: ECU Failing at Random

When it faults, the tach does not do anything funny. Maybe it runs at a little lower speed since its trying its best to ignite the fuel. It runs in the 9.XX A/F. A couple of months ago when I first got all my Nistune stuff when it would kick into the mode I could rev it wherever it wanted to go. The...

Re: ECU Failing at Random

So I've been driving it around for the rest of this week. Currently in the middle of replacing the oil pump. Besides the incident where it was going in and out of the failure mode, there was only one other time that it failed when I was sitting at my friends house idling after driving half an hour t...

Re: ECU Failing at Random

So a sooner update than I expected. Went to go get lunch quickly from work and I was driving through the town when all of a sudden the car bucked bad for a split second and then resumed its normal pace. Now this is what I had previously experienced the exact second that the ECU would kick to failure...

Re: ECU Failing at Random

Sorry it was a terrible terrible picture. Was trying to get a picture of what I thought was a jumper wire but I "jumped" to conclusions and its just a component of the board. Well, at least on both of my ECU's they are there. I will keep this thread updated. Come this weekend I will try ou...

Re: ECU Failing at Random

No its not the ECU pictured above. This is the original ECU that had Nistune installed the first time of which I do not have any pictures uploaded currently. A couple of months ago it was randomly failing both when CJ1 was soldered and then when I soldered CJ2. Both randomly dumping into fail mode a...

Re: ECU Failing at Random

So here's the weird thing. Today I decided to clean up the jumper on my original board. I then resoldered it (which I have done in the past that yielded the same failure) and threw it in the car. Drove it around for about half an hour and so far hasn't tried to kick into limp mode. Leaving it in the...

ECU Failing at Random

Hello everyone. My name is Chris. I live in upstate New York and am from Boston Mass just for some basic info about me. I have just been going back and forth with Matt via email, and decided to ask the question on the forums for more information. Well a couple of months ago, I bought Nistune from a ...
