ecu repairs/inspection

[bluemaumau]

ok well i tried a different ecu in my car, and it lost its high idle.

i then cracked both ecus underbellys open to compare

my one had two coppery (burnt-like) solders which im guessing are the culprits'.

is there anywere that can fix look into this problem? can they even do that with toyota ecu's

cheers

Anyone that can solder should be capable, but it may pay to find someone who specialises in ECU repairs like Robinson Instruments

I can have a look for you here on base if you want dude. I'm out a Whenuapai Air Base. I had my ECU cook a couple of resistors once and got that fixed. Got them replaced with some MIL Spec resistors (expensive) hehehe. We've got good solder gear and good ESD proof work stations.
Let me know anyway.

dickhead told me matt dunn fixed his ecu. He had similar problem to you with burnt out tracks. Give him a pm. He was very reasonable with price too.

ive got another one, but im sort of interested as to what caused it, waht track is buggered etc

leaky(electrolityc) capacitors is the main cause of death (by natural causes) of any electronics.

[Mr.Phreak]

Dry joints would give caps a run for their money....especially with lead free solder

[sergei]

yeah and that too, but only in newers stuff (RoHS complied)...

Yeah wave soldering is not the best a forming a good joint all the time.

Flick it over my way and I'll have a look at it. I might even be able to fix it so you have a spare one.

Ha, sweet no worries.

You don't seem to be having much luck with your car, I hope you do get it going.

Will do. That thing had better haul ar$e when you're going again though, so you can catch him.
