Ok, well you guys may know about my ongoing search for an ecu for my '89 TII, well, here is the whole story!



Early September '02, i'm crusing in my TII enjoying the mods put on that day. When pop goes the 7, I drove it home getting 5mpg and backfiring like crazy, and after much thought me and some friends came to the conclusion the ecu went out.



So here started my search for a ecu! A member here at nopistons Mike from Oklahoma City aka: mikeokc2001@aol.com told me had one he would sell me for the sum of $200 so I said ok and wired him $200 plus $52 he said it would cost to overnight it. Well it was a scam! He had an ecu but it was a blown one as well!!! and he never even sent it!!! He just kept my $252 and I still call him and email him almost everyday but he won't return me my money!!! Keep in mind I sent him my money in mid september!!!



Well months and months went by and here we are at mid january and I just got my ecu. Well it didn't work! So here I am poor with a blown 7. I'm sad!



Donations of a pineapple street-port 13b can be made to me!



thanx for readin',

is it the engine or still the ecu you think ? if you don't have the $$$ to fix it right now. park it and buy a daily beater like i did. let the FC sit in the garage until you have the time and $$$ to repair it properly

I have my tempo ( that i'm cutting the top off of) for a beater vert ha ha it will be sweet!!! A 4-door vert!, and a old school BMW comming soon.

woah my comp loged me in as UniqueTII, sweet! This is Matt by the way. And so was the last post!

you can log out if you want. as long as you have another car. i miss my old TII never should have sold it!

Hey lunchbox, get off my Koolaid. <---This is really Ed.



Don't worry, I'll convince him not to sell the TII...it's way too nice to sell as scrap.

good !

yah keep the t2, just let it age like a fine wine



mike

ahah

i've never heard of an ecu going out, have you checked anything else out yet? Do you think an apex seal could hae gone? Do a compression test.

ecu failure is very rare



mike

extremely rare...

Unique TII helped (when I say helped that means I watched) put in all new vac. lines ALL of them (what a job!) and that didn't do it. We looked at few other things put in a new o2 sensor new T.P.S. but here is what I plan to do next.



Compression test, check injectors, put in my performance fuel pump, and basically look at everything in the fuel system. When I pulled my plugs (that had maybe 45min of running time) the front rotor was coverd in carbon and dry, but the rear was good as new, didn't even look used. I also did check the coils and put new wires on.



I have to thank uniqueTII for helping me so much! He has put up with my bitching and has been really cool about it! Thanx Ed!

Odd it logs me in as 1revin7 but my posts are as uniqueTII

ahhh better, anyways I think I need to change my member name to 1nonrevin7 ha ha. Maybe I could trade her plus a little $$$ for a nice N/A but I think after owning my TII it would be just a tease. But I do miss my old N/A at times, but then I look out in the driveway, and it all goes away. I really need to fix her!!! I suppose i'll keep her around, maybe when I grauate college i'll have enough to go all out!!! I'm only 21, nevermind so is vosko, no sypathy there!
