  it at all. I have tried taking the battery off to reset the ECU, but no joy. I suspect it is either an ECU problem or something to do with the fuel supply? When it does do it and I switch off the engine appears to run on for a few seconds, could this be a clue? Also last night it now stalls when I take my
• Ford KA 2003 Misfire...pls Help..EUC?? 12 Jan 2007 (Forum)
  on no2... there is a real healthy spak on this so the coil pack looks like it is ok. I took it to a friend and he was no 100% what the problem was, he could not get a decent reding out of the star tester, he talked to someone and they said coil pack fault can mess up the ECU, so you will need both!

  make it worthwhile. I wanted to know if there is some other way I could eek out more power from my car without having to replace the engine or throw money at it since the only limiting factor to my mind might be the ECU. So my question is: * Can I simply 'swap out' my ECU for one from a manual 1.9

  to encounter any mileage related problems if I were to go down the chipping route. Lastly, with regard to the TDCi's Ford periodically introduce revised ECU settings, I am not sure if the chip/box will override these standard settings or work togther with them, i.e. would it be a good idea to have the latest
• Possible group buy for remaps in N.I. 11 Jul 2004 (Forum)
  there is usually no physical evidence (such as re-soldering chips) that the work has been done. The only possible trace is if the ECU has to be removed, a retaining clip may have to be bent back, and then bent into place again when the ECU is replaced. If you want to be a part of the group buy, or if you have
• Mondeo Noises 24 Feb 2003 (Forum)
  service parts have been changed, as they should. I had the car plugged into the Ford computer, which showed no fault codes and no available updates on the ECU software.

  it a few minutes the problem has come back, so clearly it was a red herring. This has happened several times so I no longer think any of these was problem. I have a fuel pressure guage fitted to the injector gallery and know that my fuel pressure is OK. I have removed the ECU from the footwell and found

  hi, I have a MK5 Golf 1.6 fsi (BLF) that has no power. it starts and runs fine but when you accelerate it is like the handbrake is on. I have scanned the ECU and come back with a P000A fault "A" camshaft position slow response ( bank1 ). I have replaced the timing chain and tensioner
• Car People: What On-Board Diagnostic (ODB) app/har 2 Dec 2019 (Forum)
  I don't think there's any substitute for a single device only for your car. I'm currently helping a guy who used a generic reader to diagnose a fault and he was given the code "HDI SID807 BR2" I explained that this isn't a fault code, but the part number for his ECU. We

  Hi everyone, I recently bought a 2006 Honda F-RV, petrol 2.0 ivtec sport. Although it has 150bhp it really struggles to accelerate with any real power. Had it to a local garage and they've put the code reader on it and all the sensors are fine. The ECU light is not on. My father in law serviced

  Hi The engine misfires when cold, i.e. first thing in the morning and when driving away at night. The fault will clear within 20 seconds or so. There are no fault codes, and according to live data the fuel delivery rate increases as it misses (basically I think the ECU is trying to compensate
