ECU Question

eleazar515 · 04-19-2005, 05:52 AM

Has anyone here had any problems with their Mk2's ecu (car's computer)? My car has a little stutter in lower rpms. A while back I tested around a bit and found the ecu wasn't properly reading the tps (throttle position sensor). I tested the tps & it passed with flying colors. I checked out the readings from the ecu directly regarding the tps & it's readings were wacked. I thought about replacing it with a junkie but didn't want to bother with another old ecu if it was a common old-age symptom. Couldn't really afford a new ecu even if it was available, so I basically set-aside the whole bit and just have lived with it. I'm planning a pretty long drive in the near future so I'm trying to get her running as sweet as I can. B)

btw - anyone experimented with switching to electric fans? (someone who did)
