ECU
Posted: Mon Jul 09, 2012 9:02 pm
Hi,
I have recently been having trouble with my car idling low when dis-engaging the clutch during gear changes! It was occasionally displaying the EML! I tryed diagnosing using my computer diagnostic kit but it would not read ECU so i assumed that it was because my car was too old! Today, i stripped my ICV (Idle Control Valve) and have cleaned it all down and rebuilt car back up! I also reset the ECU to refresh it, when i re-connected battery i left it running in idle for about 5/6 minutes to let it set itself up! But it kept idling at approximately 2900rpm so i gave it a gentle rev and it sorted it so that it was idling between 900-1100rpm! I then went out in it and noticed that the EML is permanently lit up, although the car is running fine! I have just tryed flashing the ECU using the paper clip method and i have been told to short PIN 5 and 6 to show me the fault and there is nothing showing! By accident i hit the paper clip across PIN 5 and 9, and now the radio is not working!
My car is a X Reg 2001 Corsa B 1.0 12v
Does anyone have anything to help me please? Thanks in advance
