Electrical Problem

Postby Aido C » Fri Oct 21, 2011 4:51 pm

My car cuts out when I floor it in first and sometimes when I hit a pot hole. The engine stops and the clocks go off but only for a flash of a second. It's more than likely a bad contact somewhere. A bad earth or a bad live. I got the wiring loom checked and nothing was found. It could be a bad contact inside of the ECU.
Has anyone got a spare ECU I could try to see if that's what the problem? One to try or one to try and buy if that's what the problem is?

I asked him about it. I'm waiting for him to get back to me.

Yeah I'm also waiting for reply about the items I asked for. Anyone heard from Dilogoat? I guess he is just busy, but i'm hoping to pick up parts soon.
