[V8] Who Works on ECUs?

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Dave,

Have you thoroughly checked for vacuum leaks?  I thought I had until I found
that black plastic hard line that goes from the vacuum valve at the firewall
and loops around the inside pass side fender -- had a 1" tear along the
underside.  Also, how is your V8's performance otherwise?  Is it down from
where you remember it?  A little thirstier, maybe?  FPR more than 2 years
old?  Replace it.  Cured my idle problem like that, though I can't say I was
getting the speed sensor code.

Don't know of anyone that works on these ECUs, but you can certainly check
with Ned.

Good luck.

Ingo

Looks like the intermittent high idle problem is the computer-new idle
stabilizer and speed sensor, rung out all the wiring from the computer to
the sensors, and it's still throwing the speed sensor code (and only that
code).  It seems the computer clamps the idle when it loses the speed sensor
input; otherwise, it should be reporting idle stabilization out of range.
An ECU from an automatic has no codes, and the car runs normally with it
(although at a slightly higher idle than a 5-speed would).



I have Ned's chip, but IA seems to be more into turbos these days.  Is there
anybody that repairs ECUs, or should I try to get Ned himself involved?
