Fitting ECU..

[noelboy]

I brought a Courtenay Sport ECU for a 2-16v dizzyless engine from a bloke on migweb.
Only problem is he doesn't know how to fit it (he never used it).
Does anyone here know how to go about fitting it?

Is it the complete ECU? If so then it's literally unplug the old, plug in the new. Is your engine dizzyless (since you mention it) as it won't run unless it is.

It's just a black chip with pins on the bottom.
The label on the top says "C-SPORT 2-16V"
It's definitely dizzyless.
cheers

ahh.. so its just the ecu chip, not the ecu..
you'll need to remove your ecu and open it up and have a look at the existing chip, to see whether it is plugged in, or soldered in etc.. (i think a few are soldered, not sure which/why).. if you can take the usual electrostatic precautions while handling it all.

I'll nip out and have a look now.
Is the ECU behind the kick pannel on the drivers side?

[Stupink]

yup.. its just bolted on with about 4 8mm head bolts(could wel be 10mm), long reach 1/4 inch easiest thing to use.

Well got it open which was a bit of a mission and found out the chip doesn't fit!
Am I trying to put it in the wrong place??

[Stupink]

thats the right place, someone else had this problem a short while back.. bought off ebay, so perhaps you can find it with a search for chips and ebay and 16v or something..

I dont know what the outcome was... there might be different versions of the ecu or something.. meh, i dunnooooooooo [img]/smile.gif[/img] see if you can find the thread and see what happened.
