If you do the pedal test, that will tell you where the fault is

The pedal test costs nothing, takes a few minutes to do and will point you in the right direction as to the real fault.

You have 2 options:

1, Spend hundreds on a new ECU and then come back when you have a car that still doesn't run, or

2 Do the pedal test, post the results up on here and take the advice. This option is free and Mr DTM is rarely wrong ;)

When a fault is detectd, the ECU stores an error code.

By reading the codes using the pedal trick we can get a better idea of the real fault and ensure you get the right part to solve your issue

Thanks elite, I watched the vedio, did you mean that the fault will be shown as light or what?

The light flashes out the fault codes. ;)
