None of the self test codes would cause this problem. You can count that out.
Does it smell like its overfueling ? I'm a bit stumped for any suggestions, do you have a spare MAP sensor to try? You could also try disconnecting the MAP sensor altogether, the ECU will go into limp, but you may get an idea if the problem is related when a default value is substituted for it. Try unplugging the BBM electrical connection, just in case there is a wiring problem there causing only the EL to fault. Others are right about the EL Xr6 ECU being wrong, its going to be under fuelled on a std motor, stick it on eBay you will get good $$ for it. Stick with the std ECU. Once you do get it running right, look at getting it chipped to convert it to a manual ECU. Although fooling the auto ECU with resistor's some what works, the Manual ECU's have more aggressive midrange timing maps, giving you more torque than an Auto ECU in that range. There is also the dash-pot and deceleration differences. You have issues somewhere that need fixing before getting a chip and tune though. |

It doesnt really smell like its over fueling it just seems to have a bit more of a lump idle than it does with the XG ECU. I was more thinking that it could be running lean. If it was running lean I would have white crap all over my spark plugs yeah??
I have purchased and put on a new map sensor already. I even tried swapping back to the old one to see if this fixed things. I also have a new o2 sensor in there with a new fuel pump, and fuel filter AND new AU injectors (not the reconditioned one) That was a very good idea about unplugging the BBM electrical connection. I will give that a go in the morning. I'm at the stage where I will give anything a go. I'm guessing by electrical connection you mean the vacuum switch for the bbm??? The switch currently works when the car revs up to 3600rpm or 3800rp,which ever it is. I did have an auto ECU in there with the resistor trick already but I didnt really like the dash pot on it with the little bit of excess rev hang. I also got rid of it because I thought it was causing this problem which it is apparent that it is not. Apart from the BBM vacuum switch, do you suggest that I should unplug anything else to rule this problem out??? The other thing I did notice which was quite weird was when I was checking the Throttle position sensor. I put a pin down the top of the ECU wiring connector on whatever pin it was meant to be in (i dont have the workshop manual infront of me) With Key on Engine Off i got 0.75V. Once the engine was started it went to 0.85v and the idle for some reason stayed at 1000rpm. I pulled out the pin because I thought it must be shorting on something else which would be nearly impossible and the RPM dropped down to normal. Maybe this might have been because it was earthing through my volt meter? or maybe there might be a bad connection in the wiring connector to the actual ECU. However I'm sure that if the TPS was playing up it would show up on the XG ECU aswell. It was just something I noticed that seemed very odd. When i check all the other sensors by piggy backing off the wiring connector to the ecu I have no problems. I really appreciate all you guys helping me sort this out. Keep the idea's coming. I am trying everything!!

I did notice with the XG pedal it is extremely light to push down but I have gotten used to it. When I checked the pedal from inside the car via the TPS it showed that it had nice even increment range when I pushed it in slowly by the voltage going up steadily from 0.75v - 4.3v when it was mashed to the floor. I don't particularly think it sits high it just seems really light to push down. But as I said I will give anything a go. Thanks for your advice. Yes I do feel reluctant to take my car down to a tuners and get a j3 chip to see if it can fix the problem. But I doubt the tuners would have any more of an idea than what i do with the current situation. Unless of course it is the fuel maps which we agree it shouldn't be because I cannot check this from home. Got any more idea's to explore?

Alright I have done some research triggered by AndrewT12 and have come up with the following results. I was researching the differences between the XG (EB-ED) computer and the EL ECU.
EL ECU 8 Fuel Select (Tickford LPG Models Only) Petrol >9Volts, LPG 0Volts 13 LPG Cut Off Solenoid 0V LPG On, 12V LPG Off 15 Broadband Manifold <3800RPM 0V, >3800RPM 12V 23 Knock Sensor +3V Engine Running 26 Not used 32 LPG Gas Shut Off LPG Off 12Volts, LPG On 0Volts 39 Speed Sensitive Power Steering 0V-12V PWM signal 41 Air Conditioning Compressor 12Volts Engaged, 0V Off 44 Blower Fan Speed High Speed 12V, Off 0V 53 Electric Fan Output 1 12V Relay 1 Off-0V Relay 1 On XG ECU 8 Not used 13 Not used 15 Not used 23 Not used 26 Sensor Reference Voltage +5Volt output 32 Recirculation Solenoid 12V Outside Air, Recirc 1.0V 39 Not used 41 Not used 44 Not used 53 Not used All other the other pins matched and did the exact same thing. I'm going to spend some time with my good old friend the multimeter and check all these pins and see what i get. I had a thought that I hooked up the wire for the knock sensor and plugged it into the ecu but since my block did not have the hole for the knock sensor I just left the wire there. Maybe this is picking up a small conductive voltage from the power around the wire causing my issue. I'll see how I go and post my findings.

pin 26 on the el ecu is signal reference voltage, same as xg

Bit of a shame it's not a later XG (94 onwards) - will have the threaded hole for the knock sensor.Is the head 94AB ?? - you mentioned you fitted the EL rocker cover, it won't seal (or possibly fit) properly around the half moon areas on the earlier 91AA head.

I don't particularly think it sits high it just seems really light to push down. So long you can get it cheap enough - hence why I suggested borrowing one out of someone else's car. It may not make any difference, so you don't want to spend out needlessly. Made a difference with mine as I say - flat spots a plenty, and I compared them and they were different.

Yeah i thought it was bit of a shame too that I couldn't fit the knock sensor, the rocker cover fits perfectly though and does not leak or anything so at least thats good.
I'm not suffering from any rev hang so I imagine that no air is getting through the rocker cover seals anyway. I'm just about to head outside and check out this wiring. So i'll post back in a couple of hours. So you experienced flat spots with the XG pedal hey?? I understand the ratio's might be different but I can't understand why it would cause that. I definitely might have to explore this further. As I said before, i will give everything a go, even just to rule it out as a possible problem. It should only cost me a few bucks to change it as I'm a tow truck driver and tow the cars into u pull it all the time. I pretty much get stuff for free there!!

alright so after checking the pins i mentioned above all checked out as normal. The only one that posed any problems was PIN 32 which is the LPG gas shut off. If LPG is off it should read 12v, if LPG is on it should read 0v. When I measured it on my ECU it registered at 0.02v.
Would this only effect LPG gas ECU's??? This could explain a problem with my fuel maps. Should I go out and hook 12v up to this pin to rule this out??? Or would it be a waste of time as my ECU is not a GAS ecu????

if yours is not a gas ecu, dont worry about it... the pins in reference to lpg is for a duel fuel ecu only..

well its 6TAA manual EL Xr6 ecu so it shouldn't be a dual gas fuel ecu so it i guess I don't need to worry about it then.
hmmm now i just need to get an EL pedal and rule that out!!

Alright... I'm grabbing at straws now.
I just chucked in my EL auto ECU 6DBB in the car without the resistor trick and i'm gonna see how that goes from a cold start. I'm curious to hear from anyone else who suffered from hesitation when running the EB-ED accelerator pedal after they did a BBM conversion.

okay I just realised that my other ECU 6DBB is from a fairmont.
Don't fairmonts run the tickford xr6 engines and fuel maps??????

nope, only the fairmont ghia, 6djb had the tickford engine..
changing the pedal will only change the rate of pedal travel, wont do anything for the way the engine runs.. although if you fit the ef/el pedal it will feel more responsive as it will be giving you more throttle with less pedal travel.... |

Thanks troyman, I won't waste my time changing the pedal then just yet.
My XG ECU is 2DLA..... Is there anything particularly special about that ECU maybe??? Or is that just a standard XG 4.0L manual ECU?? Just trying to rule out any other possibilities of what my problem could be......

2dla is strange?? afaik a manual should be eg: 2daa what year is your xg?? 93 model manual will have a 2daa a 94 would have a 3daa... im not sure about a 2dl ????
an auto would normaly be something like 2dba or 3dba.. |
