[s-cars] New ECU Chips from Mihnea - Ned's comment

[Ned Ritchie]

I've commented before on "check engine light" issues and in some cases
it boils down to NOT the programs used but the Tolerance of the
computers themselves.  [These comments are 3B engine related only, and
may not apply to the AAN engine, but do give another possible slant on
things]

On one occasion I have taken a pair of chips and used the same chips in
6 computers in a couple of hours.  Two of the six had the check engine
light on in a matter of minutes.  So we deduced that the issue was the
computers.  Of course in my two 91 200 cars the computers were hand
selected to have the light out, but mind you the programs were the same.
I've found that even a pair of chips for the 3B from Heinz Lehmann will
turn on the light is some computers.

AND Audi pulled the check engine light out of some '91 200 cars at the
port of entry because some lights would not stay out.

Doug,

That is not my intention and personally I don't promote or sell any of
my
own
code. The only chips I have sold are originals (not copies) that I have
purchased from other tuners or acquired by purchasing ECUs for hardware
development
that were collecting dust .... There are many excellent choices in
tuning
code and I am not in the business of competing with my customers and/or
potentially customers ... which essentially covers all tuners.

My point really is a check engine light is not acceptable and should not
simply be ignored. I have heard of EPROM issues related to the
electrical
characteristics of the device - I was not implying there was something
wrong
with the
code just maybe the hardware. It seems highly unlikely that it is a
coding
issue based on the number of chips and positive revues out there ...

Best regards,
Feico van der Laan
