ecu problem/question

[newports01]

i posted this in newbie forum but i got no response so maybe you guys might know a little more about it


i have a 96 gs-t and i had a "mechanic" hooked up a a/f gauge but in the process he fried my computer.. so he went and got 1 from a junkyard and ever since then the car has not been right. feals like its holding back really bad and i believe the timing is being pulled beacuse you can floor it and the car accelerates really slow but the turbo spools loud like it used to. boost gauge is reading 15 pounds and the a/f gauge is reading rich. I have had the timing belt/waterpump and all belts and hoses replaced but the car still feels the same.. also some mornings when i start it it misses really bad, so bad it wont stay running. but when it warms up the hesitation thing at WOT dosent fell like a miss it just feels like im towing 2 tons. Mitsu is who did the timing belt and i even took it back up there to make shure they had the timing set right and its right. so i thaught it could have just been the knock sensor and the whole phantom knock deal so i tried grounding out the sensor but still the same problem/hesitation so then i completly took it out and i get no CEL... i have pulled every sensor to try to get a cel and i cannot get it.. the car drives no different with the o2 sensor unplugged either and it is also a new o2 sensor.... so my question is.. do i have the right computer? i pulled the ecu out and this is what is has on it

also written on the ecu is "turbo talon" (i know the ecus are interchangable but i have a eclipse gs-t)

So basicly i am asking what year ecu is in there now and what ecu i need (serials and such) since i dont have my stock ecu anymore.. (he threw it away)

i think i cant run anything besides 95,96 computers because of the cam angle sensor (is this right?) so im guesing i have the wrong 1 i would just like to know what year comp this is i have and wich 1 i am saposed to have
THANKS!

How can a mechanic fry an ecu installing a gauge? Not a very good mechanic...

ya the mech. did not now wtf he was doing.. scam basicly.. hes outa of business for stealing a car and got sued buy like 4 different people

Does the CEL light up when you first start up the car? I've seen shady "mechanics" take out the CEL bulbs.Also verify the A/F gauge is hooked to the right wire.

ya the light comes on... the a/f guage is hooked up right thanks to you guys here at dsmtuners on the new comp... but i still think the comp is bad... (i have had the a/f hooked up right for a while)
