Do you think it will do the business Rob i just thought when SJC said about mapping thing? it might not work, i'll PM Albitz he has been a superb help throughout along with lots of others cheers

Ignore that. It`ll work, only difference would be where the ECU fuels the engine according to what MAF is fitted so yours being a smaller engine and hence draws a less air, less fuel will be delivered

Thanks Rob ,if i get this motor on the road again i'm coming on a  meet with a large case of beer! I'll give the 3.2 a try Albitz is on the case as we speak

[RobG]

No probs, it`ll get sorted eventually

Got the ECU off the car.Will remove the transponder thingy in the morning as I cant remember how to at the moment the light will be better.

Thanks SJC (her tickers not good) poor old girl.
Regards car i put Albitz's 3.2 ECU in place of my own one connecting wire looms and earth ,then connected his  transponder to my connector under ignition barrel with his key/chip taped to it ,turned ignition to second position and clicking  stopped at throttles, only light which flashes is spanner light (which continues to flash)tried starting engine but no go ,turns over but no fire. Took connector from doner transponder and put back in my ignition transponder and nothing changed (i.e. no clicking/flashing spanner light)When i put my ECU back in the clicking returned ,can anyone make anything of this, appreciate any help thank you

only light which flashes is spanner light

Still getting immobiliser problem (flashing spanner). Did you remove your chip from the key when attempting to start

[Toledodude1973]

yes did that Rob only after essex Al's advice though. But do you think the ones i'm putting in are not talking to eachother?

Spoke with Paul , reminding him to remove his transponder chip from his key while trying to start car with the "new" chip/key  taped near ignition barrel  .

Constant flashing spanner light is immobilisor problem I believe .

But progress being made as no "clicking butterflies" anymore with this new ECU

Waiting to hear next installment

Does the replacement transponder have to be actually fitted around the ignition barrel as opposed to just connected to existing plug and left hanging

[Toledodude1973]

Just went and took my transponder from steering column and put it away from car fitted "new" one ,didn't make any difference thanks for thinking of it

I think OP was advised earlier in thread that that would work 

Thinking myself that it may need to around the barrel though 

also . . remember having the constant flashing spanner light & no start myself a few months ago & was advised to do a "Re set" by switching to position 2 & holding any button on key for a few seconds  to lock & unlock doors. My car then started 1st turn & has been fine since .

worth a try Paul
