Ae101 ECU fault

Postby Punter » Tue Jan 16, 2007 5:01 pm

My ECU has packed up, it won't give fault codes, has a very low idle, and the car won't rev pass 4k even when in neutral.

I swaped the computer with the one from my other car and problem solved.

What I'm wondering is where/how do I repair my faulty ECU (if its possible to fix) or should I just bin it and find a new one.
I opened it up and I can't see any signs of failure, but I'm not an expert.

So any experence advice would be appreciated.
