Ecu problems

[swedge]

I decided to lift my carpet in my car and since then my car won't start my ecu wad resting in the footwell and I think I've knocked it when moving the carpet

there is power getting to it on the perm live and ignition live but I'm getting eml light at all, all the fuses are fine too

any way to check the ecu it's a c14se conversion from a 1.0

do a search on the 'paperclip' test, the ecu reports any fault it may have from what i remember

try here http://www.topbuzz.co.uk/info/fault_codes/fault_codes.htm

Not bodged then? It was only a matter of time before it's going to cut out whilst driving FFS.
check every wire IMO.

The car hasn't been driven the ecu is only there until I make a bracket to hold it

I've tried the paperclip test but the eml won't come on on the dash

where you at? and what c14se have you got? dizzy or coilpack?

[swedge]

I'm in the Scottish Borders I have a c14se from a Corsa sri so it's a coil pack

[pikey1986]

did you disconnect the battery before welding?

Maybe a wire has broken or come out of position etc. Can't imagine a little knock to kill an ecu. Unless it was dropped on the floor quite hard.

check all the wires etc as said, but if it comes to it i have coilpack ecu spare, bought in error as mine is dizzy
