v6shep Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Evening all. Just wondering, ive bought an ecu from a member as mine had a blown resistor. Is the ecu plug n play or do i need it programming? Thanks in advance, Shaun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh42 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Hi Shaun, The ECU should be plug and play providing you’ve brought the correct model - ie for 2JZGTE/GE An auto ECU will work on a manual car, but a manual will not work on a Auto.

v6shep Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 Ah brilliant, exactly what i wanted to know. Just a thought i had because thr old girl has been off the road almost 3 and half years through no spark issues. Its had new plugs, leads, dizzy, rotor arm the whole shebang. Never checked ecu until someone here mentioned it and the blown resistor issue, i took it out and hey presto, blown resistor, which had leaked onto the board. Originally it was a gear change issue (auto). Which now leads me to wonder if maybe the blown resistor may have a part to play with the leakage. Anyhow, even the new ecu fitted doesnt seem to have made a difference to get me a spark. Im going to pull it apart and reset all the timing to be double sure it set up correctly and see what happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v6shep Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 Im getting stressed and more and more gutted seeing ot sat there and desperately want to drive the old girl again before she rots away but little one on the way, back at my old job that barely supports us has put the brakes on me being able to afford to pay a mechanic to do the job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Capacitor, (electrolytic), not a resistor. Even if the timing was wrong it would still spark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v6shep Posted January 31, 2018 Author Share Posted January 31, 2018 Doh, yeah that blew too hmm, well once my cam civers come back, loom all put back away i dont see why it shouldnt spark then. If it doesn't, im out if ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
