Nepalm Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 (edited) Guys i just got a SARD Ecu A/T for my supra matched all the numbers and it was correct to my stock one but when i put it in my car i just get black smoke erratic idle ,floods the engine and cut off. Try starting it up and the it's just flooded all i can smell inside and outside is petrol. After a while starts up and keep misfiring dies but as soon i stick the stock Ecu back in it's all working again without any probs ?? I do have a HKS boost-cut which i set to 12 as that will let through the signal and my car is a TT A/T Bpu anyone can help with this prob??

Nic Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 It may be that ECU needs a few miles of driving to set itself up properly. It's the same as if you disconnect the battery on your car and the ECU is reset, when started again it'll run lumpy and not idle properly until the cars driven a couple of miles or so. If you can get it to actually run try a drive and see if it improves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Whatever's up with it I would suggest you stop using / trying it as bore wash will be the result. I'd send it back and give the engine an oil and filter change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Have you got a friend locally who could also test it on their car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Doom Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Have you looked closely at the ECU to see if any of the pins are broken off/missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 When it's started is it running on all cylinders? Running on less than 6 cylinders would cause the symptoms you describe. I presume it was running fine before, is it just the ECU you've swapped, nothing else messed with? Have you tried putting the old ECU back on to see if it starts and runs okay? You could also try checking for fault codes, although if it's hardly run it's may not have logged any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be right think i will have to send it back and yes the old ecu works fine. no fault code at all there is no engine light that comes on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 I had the EXACT same symptoms with a stock ECU in a TT a few months back, and the only fix was a new (used) ecu swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nepalm Posted September 25, 2010 Author Share Posted September 25, 2010 Ok cheers guys i will send it back as faulty then seems to be the general response thx for all the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
