More X14XE Problems!!! :(

[AlexW]

Once again im back.

Got my ECU off CK (Pm coming your way btw), tried it in the car and its still the same as before.... It starts, runs for 5secs and then cuts out!

ECU light stil flashing like foook too.

Only thing ive come up with is that the orignal loom is imoblised and causing my probs with the non-imoblised ECU?

Any help? PLEASE!

[Jack]

Immobilised loom? Hows that work?!

When you say ECU light is flashing, do you mean its just randomly spakking out, or is it flashing up a series of codes?

[Adam]

If its flashing like it was before then that ecu is immobilised too

[AlexW]

I didnt mean imoblised loom, i ment differances between the cars with imoblisers and without.

Ck told me its non-imoblised, ive only got this ecu so i can test the damm car.

Toasted marshmellows anyone?

[Adam]

The ECU flashes the light to say the immobiliser signal is missing or incorrect.
it wouldn't flash if it wasnt immobilised.

You definently sure its not flashing fault codes out?

[AlexW]

Yep, 100% sure.

Guess il find out tonight when i get a reply from CK.

If the problem is the imobliser im stuffed.

Can x14xe's not be wired in as c16xe's? That'll get around the immobiliser issue?

[phazer]

C16XE's never had an immobiliser so those ECU's always work - that's how people run an X16XE as the engines are largely the same.

I thought all X14XE's were immobilised??

[AlexW]

Not all, apparently the dead early ones dont have a imobliser. But this ECU has had the imobliser de-activated i belive (CK can back me up on ths)

[phazer]

Cool - there are companies out there that will do it. I think you used to be able to do some ECU's with Tech2 also.
