hey all, i'm nearly done putting climate in my EF XR6
 but the problem is when i do the self test is says E6. i found out its the evaporator temperature sensor. i had the same error when i did the self test on the car b4 climate. i changed the sensor by plugging in another one outside near the glove box, but its still the same  i reckon the ECU is faulty can I plug in any ECU from a EF? and will my car start? thanks heaps. |

ok i took a bit of a gamble and got another ECU from the wreckers, i couldn't remember the catch code, but got sold a 4TBD when mine was a 4TDB
 anyway I checked the catch codes from the forums and found out the 4TBD is for a EFII Fairmont ghia with the Tickford engine. plugged it in and voila! problem solved  im pretty sure the ECU would be ok for the XR6, with the only difference being the ghia ECU is speed limited? thanks.

ok boys, i pulled the old ECU apart and had a bit of a brainstorm
 is it possible just to get a normal EF ECU and just change the EPROM off the XR6 ECU to the normal ECU? a mate reckons its the big rectangle chip I have to swap, and then it will work as an XR6 ECU  thanks.

unless its something on the board itself, the j3 reprogram thing is an option

in that case, either get an ecu off a ef and reprg it to what ever you want, or get a ef that is similar to what you need. dont go pulling bits from one to the other
