[s-cars] Maybe it's the ECU after all.....

[jim@almgt.com]

Thanks for the replies, guys. I never did detach the pressure line, I only checked to see if it was kinked or loose. It seems as tight as it can be. I just disconnected the wiring to see if that would "reset" it, as I had heard that has worked for someone else. I can recheck it, but doubt the line is the issue, as the problem is exactly the same as before I messed with the ecu.
Thoughts?

Jim

Jim,

I recommend you check and confirm you reattached the pressure line to the ECU.


If you need an ECU for testing, I have a known good professionally socketed ECU with vmap you can borrow.
I believe the chipset currently in it is "RS2" but would have to confirm

Chris

I gained access to my ECU, checked the intake pressure line, was intact, and then disconnected the ECU from the wiring harness for a bit.  I reattached it, buttoned it all up and went for a drive.  No change in performance.  Pulled the codes and got a "2222"......
