WTB: Turbo ECU

Post by fngearhead »

I started my car to leave work tonight and drove it 10 feet and it died. CEL has been on since I did AT to MT swap a few months ago and it went out as the motor died. It spins over fine and sounds healthy just makes no attempt at firing and I didn't hear the fuel pump. I think I have a spare ECU, but figured I'd see what you guys have around before I attack my storage unit.

I have one, if you need it. But look further into the problem first. It kinda sounds like a bad main relay or connection to me.

Thanks for the suggestion. It was a bit odd how it died so quick and clean. Would the main relay be in the box under the hood?

It died at work last night and I haven't had time to mess with it yet. I don't think the fuel pump was running when I tried to restart.

Perhaps this is thread for the electrical section?
Do any/all of the usual lights come on when you turn the key to 'run'?

So, I checked all the suspect relays and fuses and everything looked fine. Turned the key and it fired right up. I have no idea what to think of it now. Outside temps have been below zero for the past few nights.

Check all the grounds. Try a harness 'wiggle' test.
