baldy Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 (edited) So i purchased a mines ecu off a forum member for my car, it arrived today later than originally quoted. 1st downer. Anyway popped home got my car,casual drive back to work! No issues! no flashing! dash lights! I pull into my work shop switch the car off as normal, all was good as always is! Remove MY ecu, fit the MINES ecu from said member. All back together im thinking cool, lets go try this bad boy out! BUT :no:! It fired up on the button, still had fuel pressure, then o/d light and engine symbol light flashing! it then died and wouldnt start again Disconnect my fcd and tsdl as suggested by said member, clear fault code but same thing:angry: is an understatement. Put MY stock ecu back in and no codes no flashing dash lights? Its flashing 31 on engine and 9 on trans! Ive asked for a refund, but im not holding my breath right now My feeling is after look at said forum members previous posts is this ecu is f**ked! Opionions please Edited September 7, 2015 by baldy (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 It might be from an Aristo perhaps? If you put a Supra ECU in an Aristo you get all manner of issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Should be completely plug and play, no issues at all swapping as you like. Dry solder joints are possible on these ECUs but I don't think that's your problem to solve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRD-Rob Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 He says it was in a supra If this person is lying about the working order or the ecu they could also be lying about what car it's from,if they even know anyway. Would the ecu not have a code on it to tell what cars it can be fitted to ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dry solder joints are possible on these ECUs but I don't think that's your problem to solve. This. My Mines Ecu went tits up too- everything was fine then suddenly it had a very rough idle, struggling to move under throttle, kept dying and wouldn't maintain any sort of an idle with or without throttle. I had a feeling it might be the solder joints like what Scott said, but trying to spot it myself was never going to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldy Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 Im not preparred to open this up, its got anti tamper seals. Theres was me thinking supra owners are ALL trust worthy members on here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berg Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 If the o/d light is flashing, is it definitely an auto ecu hes sent you and not a manual version? Not sure if it would cause those faults never know Other wise it does sound like its faulty, mine was plug and play and has been fault free since it was fitted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sausage Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 First up. Yes the ecu was late to be sent then made worse as he only got it today after I was told it be Saturday. Next up its from my mk4 tt auto j spec. The car had no fault on its last drive to a container where it's been stripped for parts APART from the odo was unplugged as the that part on the dash was out because the car was about to be stripped but last minute had to be moved hence late posting of the ecu which I did say I had to move the car that's why there was a delay. He seemed fine about it. Anyway gets the ecu and fits it says there's a problem odd but ok let's see what it it's. Still has the speed limit defender on but the ecu has that built in and I did say that somewhere in the forsale post. Code 31 air mas/map sensor never had that problem ever. Code 9 what is that I don't no that one?? As for my posts on here yep I had a auto box fault. I changed a valve body I got of Dave p fix that problem. I had a massive gear change problem and od light on feel free to loom the posts up. That was fixed was the odo. Mine was fucked in the corner not from a dry joint. Now as to why he is having problems with the ecu I don't no is there a fcd giving the code 31 maybe never got to that point because after the sld removel didn't solve it all I got was refund refund. Now my car works fine he fits it with a sld on I don't no that's not fucked the ecu. Next problem is there a fcd fitted don't no that may course a problem. I run 1.2bar no problems at so the fcd mot needed. As for opening it up to see if it's a dry joint go for it seals don't Bother me. This could be something so so simple but can see this is gonna be a problem and prob a slagging match again with a couple of members Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldy Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 As stated i removed fcd and sld, these modify a signal nothing more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sausage Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Well point blank the ecu was fine. But clearly your havin a problem. Can't see why it works on one car but not on the other but yet I fitted in one in my mate and no problems ether and when it was on face book I even offered to fit it into any car so they could see it working befor they got it. Not if it was fucked why would I offer to do that?? . This is plug and play so should be no problems at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sausage Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 See looking at how this comes across in this post makes me want to say go fuck your self. But for them who can't see the message he sent all its saying is he will start a dispute case. Now feel free to start it now no need to wait as I will stand my ground the ecu was working fine Not trying to rip no one off as I've loads of other bits to sell so seems daft to sell something CLAMED fucked knowing I'm gonna lose out on other sales because of it I'd sooner try get to the bottom of the problem ie why your having problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for them who can't see the message he sent all its saying is he will start a dispute case. nice attitude! if your that sure its fine, why is there an issue in a refund? and resell it. my car is fine on its own ecu, so as far as im concerned its not fit for purpose!

Guest Sausage Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Was fine befor you fitted it so i think you broke it simple. And it's sold so why should I buy it back to sell again? And was fit for purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I know exactly where this is headed. How can you break an ECU? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TT Paul Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Was fine befor you fitted it so i think you broke it simple. And it's sold so why should I buy it back to sell again? And was fit for purpose. i think with your attitude, bad language, bad spelling, lack of respect, and just being a proper w@nker. YOU will struggle to sell any parts on this forum, i for one would not go near any of your parts or you. this club/forum is generally a nice place, built around helping each other . but now and then ONE pops up. you seem to have anger issues my advice is sort any business you have here and then sling your hook.

scott.wild Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I have a mines ECU and the o/d light kept coming on, sometimes the car would work fine for a few hundred miles and then it started again, reset the error codes and it could be fine for 5-10 minutes or a few hours of driving. Errors that were showing up pointed towards gearbox issues and solenoids (code 63 i think), i swopped out the gearbox ecu, changed the solenoids, full gearbox service etc and the issue went away for about 2 weeks and then started again. Turned out it was 2 capacitors in the ECU had blown/burnt out, 90p for replacement parts and the car has been fine since and touch wood no issues for the last 8,000 miles. So it is possible components or dry joints could be the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
