Sorry but this was for a sensor for my EL.
Repco customer price was $120 but they marked it down to $100. |

Yeah sometimes things go wrong inside the ecu.
I've been frantically trying to trace problems to sensors and I'm almost certain my auto ECU is f**k.
Everything seems to work fine and dandy with my manual ECU. |

Ignition On: 0.155-0.156KHz
Engine Idling: 0.101-0.103KHz
Engine Revved: 0.90KHz (Approx)
Idling in Drive: 0.105-0.106 KHz
Idling in Drive with A/C on or Steering Load: 0.109-0.111KHz
Of course you are going to need a Digital Multimeter to test this. |
Just went out and tested my map sensor, all the values were clsoe to those above expect when I rev the engine I only get about 0.120 - 0.130KHz. I took the car for a drive with my multimeter setup in the cabin recording max freq, drove around for about 10min under different loads including a lot of full throttle. The max freq was 0.156KHz.
Would this most likey indicate a vacuum leak or a faulty map sensor? The car is an ED XR6. |

Yeah I think my ECU is stuffed too. Idle is just alright if it's set to around 770 to 850RPM. But even then as soon as the air-con goes on, the rev's drop 200rpm, and end up sitting on a very rough and vibrating 500 RPM in drive. I am forced to put it in neutral everytime I stop at a red light. Either that or turn the air-con off everytime I have to stop.  |

| Extremely hot exhaust can mean the cat is clogged. |

There is one thing everyone is NOT checking Engine Temperature! If the thermostat is faulty or INCORRECT range the ECU thinks the motor is not up to correct running temp and richens up the mixture accordingly This has a BIG effect on range, mine was 20l/100 kms After thermostat 14.7 l/100km Hope this helps as it has mine   |

Not sure Have been out of the repair business for a while check with your local Blue oval parts distributor Whatever the price for this item it is well worth it as I have had to replace too many aftermarket ones and my repair insurance was getting tired of paying to fix blown head gaskets undar my workshop warranty  |

thats the next port of call... i think the cat may well be stuffed as well. the oxy sensor went in yesterday. smoother power, more of it , and consumption has dropped about 10% so far (only 200 kms so far, but still above half a tank, looking good, about 500 out of a city tank im guessing)
im going to get myself a new hiflow cat, pacey 4480's (anyone put these on the au vct yet?) and redback 2½ exhaust, and some sort of pod setup with the madrel intake im getting, along with the tickford snorkel. setting me back a total of just over 1300  thats still a month or two away though :'(
as for the exhaust, i still have the burn mark on my leg. i accidentaly touched the tip of teh exhaust and it sillzed the f**k out of me. first car ive ever seen that happen on.
finally, ecu wise, any easy way of testing it? i really think its fine, but you guys have instilled doubt in my mind! :S |
