i do. but its in my car. if you would like to borrow it for a few mins and drive around with it to make sure everything is working correctly, i dont have a prob with that.

i apreciate that but i did an obd1 wire swap so i just dont want to plug up someone elses ecu and burn theirs up too im pretty sure that all the wires are correct and i dont have a check engine light so who knows but thanks

have you tried pulling the codes?

tommygun89hb · Post by **tommygun89hb** » Wed Dec 12, 2007 2:03 am

there are no codes to be read just the car has a high rev when i star it up and then it warms up and it seems to be fine but then when i drive it its like it has no power at all so im not sure what the prob can be i have ajusted my idle screw,checked for vacum leaks,ajusted my tps and nothing makes it better so im guessing that its this ecu

yeah that doesn't look like it should be like that.lol. I take it that your back from work now. The high idle is a rather normal cold start mode thing.

Make sure you dont have a ground fault or your alt is over volting before you hook up another ECU. It looks like that thing ran some major current.
