ECU stuffed?

[Mickroy]

I've been trying to fix a niggling idle problem on my 33 gtst & can't for the life of me work it out... but, I'm not hear to make another lumpy idle thread, but rather, I stumbled apon something very odd this afternoon....

In ECU diagnostic mode, the light always flashes 55; everything sweet. But, I decided today to unplug the AFM & run it again, obviously expecting to see an error code relating to the AFM. I ran it, it flashed 55. Tried it twice more with upplugged TPS & O2 sensors....same, flashed 55.

Now, call me stupid, but shouldnt the sensors be plugged in for the ECU to tell me that everything is fine? How can it flash 55 when the plug goes to nowhere?? :bs!:

is it broken? Please tell me its broken... i'll smash it right now.

IT'S BROKEN!

Did you smash it yet?

Apart from you telling me to tell you it's broken i have no f@rken idea

haha! ....I have a mate with the exact same year/model car as me, cept its an auto & mines manual....so I cant swap test his ECU! bah!

[Mickroy]

Has anyone tried this? ....can anyone confirm that, for example, unplugging your air flow meter & running ECU diagnostics WILL produce the related air flow meter error code?

I'm just after absolute confirmation that my ECU is stuffed. If so, i'll bite the bullet & goto powerfc.... i'll even post a pic of my smashed stock ECU.

I'm sure the auto ecu will work in the manual just not the other way around.
