Your ECU is in definite need of repair as it has quite a bit of damage from electrolyte leaking from the caps. It looks like it has already been fixed once by the pic due to the tantalum capacitor that was added . Wait for ECMTuning to get back with you if you don't want to buy a good ECU , and...

I've been doing quite a bit of work with the 1g 3 plug TCU's, but utilizing the M673 ROM image(AWD), and have compared the M674 ROM image(FWD Turbo). I can tell you that for the most part that by comparing the two images within TunerPro, they are almost exactly identical.I know this to be true...

A/D is an abbreviation for analog to digital. I think what big_d was hinting at is that the ground trace to IC101 may be questionable. You can check it by checking for continuity on IC101's pin 13, and all of the ground pins on the ECU.I would check the resistance of the ISC coils, and its...

Considering you hit a huge hole, you probably jarred something loose. First, I'd check to make sure the connector for the blower fan speed is still seated. Then move on to the relays for the blower motor.

All of the info I have has come from DSM-ECU Yahoo group, which can easily be found there by searching(not trying to be rude). There is quite a bit of information regarding TCU tuning, including the shift tables for ECO/Power modes which are easy to find in the code.I used the disassembly...

Not trying to start an argument here, but help you up your post count constructively through discussion. :)I will agree that using a shift box does offer versatility since you can switch between the TCU, or the shift box, and you have the option of using different style shifters(IE...

Not knocking anyone's product, but "Different strokes for different folks".Almost all of the variables, and constants can be changed within the TCU code, even the downshift thresholds for manual mode with the TCU.

Just in case anyone else is looking for the numbers, who don't have, or can't download CAPS/ASA; here are the actual part numbers for the bolts I think you're talking about. If you need more just say so.

Your best bet is to download and install CAPS/ASA, and find the part number for the bolts you need, and then order from the vendor of your choice or the dealership. http://www.mitsubishilinks.com/Or, you can look at the screenshot, pick the ones you need, and I'll get the part numbers you...

It sounds like you have the wrong connector. The FSM shows the stop light switch as having green/white, and green as the wire colors. The clutch switch should be green/black, and black according to the manual.Also, for some background information regarding NLTS, and Stutterbox for your...

This isn't the greatest quality picture, but it should answer your question.

You're welcome.I would ask them if their standard socket is the same one offered with the Honda chipping kit. If so I would pass since the socket pictured in that kit is not a high-quality machine-tooled collet-pin socket like the ones that Moates sells, or similar from Digi-Key as suggested...

I use the same sockets that Moates.net stocks. Here's a link:D2 28-pin DIP SocketAlso, here's a link that may be of some help for doing the socket work: http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/articles-tuning-ecu/266472-socketing-eprom-ecu.html

Perhaps I didn't explain clearly enough.Using an ECU with a M/T bin will only allow/give the value from the "Park/Neutral" idle speed table (which has the same values as the M/T bin) to be accessed for park, neutral, and drive. When you place the shifter in drive you are putting load on the...

Technically the A/T and M/T ECU's hardware is the same, and it's the bin that is different, which determines the difference in configuration. For example, I'm using a M/T ECU with the E932(A/T) bin.Here is a screen shot from the XDF that I converted to line up with the A/T code(disregard my...

The code in the A/T ECU looks at the inhibitor switch bit to add the transmission load, and also to determine which idle table to use, either park or drive, for the state of the bit. It also looks at the bit to determine whether or not to update o2 feedback. That's as much as I could find in the...

Some of what you're seeing is flux left over from the use of rosin core solder, which is sometimes mistaken for leaked electrolyte. Clean up after the repair could have been better, since there seems to be a few flecks of solder near D109.My main concern would be how much of a pad remains at...

Steve doesn't do ECU repairs anymore.OP, it looks as though your ECU has been worked on before, and that capacitor replaced. I question whether or not the solder on the negative lead is making full contact with the pad, or how much of the pad is there due to the shadow cast in the picture. The...

What happens after 30 minutes, does the ECU crash, or does the engine die out?I would say it's a possibility of damage to the ECU occurring from bad wiring. Also, I definitely wouldn't be "smoke testing" ECU after ECU on the car if there is a known wiring issue.

According to steve's website the ECU differences between 1g's and GVR4's are the configuration resistors(R129/R130), except for the earlier dual board GVR4 ECU's.If the software force doesn't work, but a hardwired force will, then I would be inclined to say that something is not right with...

I'm not as knowledgeable steve, but I'll give you my input.If you suspect the ECU is at fault for the fuel pump issue, my guess would be that C106 has leaked, and caused damage to the trace leading CM 105.From ECU pin 56 the circuit path goes to CM105. The trace continues on the bottom...

Definitely a blown ground trace to IC 101, which takes part in the A/D conversion should be connected to that trace at pin 13, and have a continuity path to all of the ECU's ground pins.If you flip the PCB over you will see where the reference designator for the IC is located, as well as...

Why don't you ring the connectors out back to the TCU to make sure they are connected correctly if you are unsure and save yourself the headache (No disrespect to anyone who has given advice about the connectors in question).Take a paperclip or test lead if available, and jumper the applicable...

You can use MMCd TCU for troubleshooting 1g's to some extent. Just like MMCd's test for the ECU actuators, it has the ability to turn on the shift solenoids, as well as read and clear DTC's.It is available here in the files section. To use it you need to swap the pin from #1 to #6 on your data...

That looks like a ZIF(zero insertion force)socket to me.To remove the chip just pull up on the metal latch and the chip will come out with little to no effort.

Congrats on finally getting into the 11s!

It sounds like one of the transistors(TR2) inside the door lock control unit may be bad, or possibly a bad coil in the door lock relay. At least that is what the FSM seems to suggest. From my knowledge of electronics, Transistors, diodes, and inductors(coils) are usually the first to fail when...

Unfortunately, there is no 2g ADX for logging available that I know of, nor am I sure it is even possible with TunerPro. Here is some info from the TunerPro forum that may shed some light on your question.TunerPro User Forum :: View topic - OBDII upgrade!There is a bin and definition...

Both of those pins from IC 110 should be connected to C25.Pin 1 of IC 110 is connected through R16 and CM 105 is tied to pin 110 of connector C-59.Pin 2 of IC 110 is connected to the ECU's grounds both chassis and sensor from the applicable pins of C-59 and C-61 connectors...

He's probably referring to the coils inside the fuel injector itself. Take a DMM with you and test the resistance on the pins of the injector.

There are a few people who have had success using an aftermarket trigger disc setup with the AEM EMS.Triggerdisk Install 1g Green CAS AEM EMSI recommend downloading and reading the AEM Undocumented Settings Document, which has some great info regarding trigger disk use.

OP, Since the CAS has the TDC (camshaft position sensor) and the crank angle sensor integrated into the same unit, one can be bad and the other good. Either way, if one is bad the unit has to be replaced.If the TDC sensor is good you'll have spark, and if the crank angle sensor goes bad there...

Yeah, you can do some testing with it on the car.Start by testing the harness to make sure you're getting power to the sensor from the ECU with the key on.Pin 1 is located where the notch is on the connector, it should be about 5v.Pin 2 should have the same voltage as pin 1.Pin 3...

After thumbing a few pages back in my manual, I noticed that if the TPS circuit is troubled that Engine Stop will occur. Sorry about that!TDC sensor is integrated into the CAS, and with a bad ECT sensor your should still have an injector pulse. However if the CAS circuit is troubled you will...

The TPS shouldn't have anything to do with your car not starting based off the fail-safe operations chart.You really should get the service manuals and do some troubleshooting, and have that ECU repaired before the damage gets worse. As far as I can see, the ECU doesn't look to be in that...

Looks like your ECU still has the original Rubycon capacitors, and C108 has leaked some of its electrolyte. Time to get them replaced and the board cleaned up.

It sounds to me like the throttle plate may not be closing all of the way, or making contact with the Idle Position Switch, due to an over-adjustment of the cable.Did you try this procedure?
