ECU

Hi all

May need an ECU for my '51 3.2 Elite

Anyone got one for sale? Or is more info required?

Many thanks

Hi mate

We've exhausted every other option, it's still sticking in limp & not reving past 2.5k

How much do you want for it?

I would try to get the car on a diagnostics, eg(tech2) and see what the fault is, never seen an ecu go wrong.

I've even had a guy from VX, who normally fixes stuff dealers can't have a look, he plugged allsorts into it and no luck!

Well,if it does turn out to be that its not a huge problem. You will have a replacement for a very reasonable price. ;) :D

Adrian collected my ecu etc from me at the weekend to try and help diagnose his problem. I had a text from him last night to say that swapping the ecu has solved the problem completely.
That's the second 2.6/3.2 ecu  an OOFer has had a problem with (to my knowledge) in the last couple of months,which is interesting.
I have always thought them to be ultra reliable,but maybe they are now getting old enough to be the cause of problems more regularily ?

As this is in the "for sale" section, soon as I get a mo I'm gonna list the faults & diagnostic path to conclusion in the electrical bit, with a reference to the other one you linked me to....may make useful reading for others in the future

Thanks again mate

Out of interest are they one in the same ?

Afaik 2.6 ecu isn't quite the same as the 3.2. A 2.6 will run with 3.2 ecu (and vice versa) but not very well as the parameters for fuelling etc. will be miles out. Could be reprogrammed I suppose,but that might cost as much or more than a known good replacement.
