ECU faulty?
« on: 12 September 2008, 18:33:53 »
Or bad connection?

I have noticed that when I take the ECU out of it's box (with the engine running) and move it into different positions, the engine revs go up to about 2,000rpm - but settle when I put the ECU back to it's home.

Any ideas?

I'm intrigued as to how/why you discovered this ... ??  :)

What reason is there for removing the ECU whilst the engine is running ???

Pray tell ..   ;D ;D ;D ;D

Sounds like a dodgy connection to me. Did it pick up any trouble codes in the process? It shouldn't affect it in the slightest.
