Did it run fine before you got on the dyno with a regular map? Cause if so, the problem was prob with your tuner's emulator not the ecu. However, I'm sure he already checked that.
You can still have a fried ecu with a nice solder job. I have a p28 that looks perfect but wont start the car. It was shorted out at some point and is no longer good. Chances are if it wont start a car with the chip its prob not going to start it with J1 cut. But its worth a try, goodluck!
Thanks everyone! I'll have to give that jumper a cut this week!
I was actually running the turbo'd hatch on this "bad" ecu in limp mode. But I had no idea that's what it was cuz I had had a basemap burnt for me and I just figured it was running rich and blogging cuz of the basemap. But all along it was just a "bad" ecu. So yea, the ecu works...it just doesn't seem to "see" the slot/chip.
Definitely wasn't the tuner emulator because that didn't change and we tuned my car on another ecu later on that same day!
Oh, I know you can...cuz I fired my other one with somehow incorrectly wiring inline resistors (don't ask, we all still cannot figure it out). It did start my car and it ran, in limp mode.
So with this addition data maybe I can get even more of ya'll to comment on what you think.
Thanks!
