Hi All

on Sunday whilst removing the wires from the old jap sat nav from under the 2m thick carpet/sound deadner :D a plug was found protruding from my ECU..

aftermarket ECU hey????

this is a long shot but anyone have an idea as to what ECU this plug is for???

will have to shove a screw driver in and see if it launches

or just connect it to the 260rs that apparently lives round the corner from my place....

hopefully its for something worthwhile but hey e'll see...

How are you Michael??

oh, better have a look

Seriously though, is it connected by splicing into the 20 or so wires that come

out from the ECU ??. If so, you should be able to at least determine which

function its intercepting (without dismantling the ecu, but that would be fun :P

?? (eg tach, afm, ???) of course that needs a schematic, but its probably a R33 std ecu.

humble, i'm good, but missing the staj

That's not a plug. it's so the certain signals can be sent to multible places. I found 2 behind the speedo in my car, and that had 1 speed sensor in, and 3 out (ATTESSA, ECU, HICAS). Dunno why yours is at the ECU, maybee there was something like a Super AFC, and when they removed it, they put that in to pass the signals back to the ECU.

Yeah I just found the exact same plug near my ecu last night when I was hooking up my a/f ratio guage. And probably half of my ECU wires are spliced into but I have a HKS turbo timer that has every single feature hooked up which would require quite a few of the signal wires spliced into so not sure if they go to this plug or not, it was taped up and I couldn't be botherd checking it. It may well even be the plug for the turbo timer.

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
