hey, just a quick question, would anything go totally wrong if i reset the ecu in my car?

also correct me if im wrong.. disconnect negative bat terminal, pump the breaks for a bit.. reconnect negative and turn on again?

Correct.....nothing will go wrong...theoretically.

I saw you last night

ooo was I coming or going? Had to have Sugo Mi, then went to Freestylers. And it was good.

good news,

keep us posted :huh:

Cool, hopefully they sort it out and it doesn't cost you too much

+1

Won't have the car back today. They need to try and source some parts tomorrow... so hopefully they can get it all and have her ready tomorrow.

urgh :D What parts does it need?

A relay for the fan/ac control, and some *bsskkt* for the wipers (phone reception was shit) sorta sounded like a switch...

Then hopefully the brake lights and reverse lights are just a fuse. And I'm getting them to have a look at the head unit. The dude at JB said it might be because we didn't have the remote wire connected to ACC. But... I dunno. In hindsight, probably should have gotten one of those adapter plugs :huh:

what, there was adapter plugs available?

probably wouldn't have worked anyway, your stock plug was already half butchered from the previous HU install.

I don't think it can be the remote wire, that's an OUTPUT from the HU to the amp. Maybe it is something to do with the hand brake switch wire that we tied straight to ground?

Hopefully they can fix it pretty easy tomorrow

remote wire is for an amp... is there even an amp in the car? If no its got nothing to do with remote wire. and yes adapter plugs is where its at, cause when the Headunit craps out or you need a new one have fun re-wiring it again :D

Yep very lazy...yawn...

Ah toowoomba not much has changed

I'm about to play my favourite game,

D/L pron at internet cafe, how long will it take til im escorted out. :)

    • 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.
