Question

Hello folks,

Just wondered if anyone knew a site that showed how to do this - need to send mine for remapping soon and dont want to lever it out with brute force like I normally do

Any pointers much appreciated.

What MY?

If it's a MY99/00, then it's 5 mins with a 10mm socket.

Hello Ozzy - not seen you lately in the old 'well petrol station

Its a 94 car - is the ECU in the same place?

Hi m8,

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's in the same place (passenger footwell). Should be more or less the same deal. Undo 10mm nuts, disconnect from wiring loom and hey presto.

Lift the passenger carpet and see if it looks something like this

1) Lift Passenger footwell carpet (might need to remove some trim fasteners
2) Remove Passenger footwell plate (10mm bolts & Nuts).
3) Remove ECU (some more 10mm Nuts)
4) Disconnect ECU connectors

I always disconnect the battery before removing and installing. Don't know whether this is crucial or not, but it makes me feel better.

(Just beaten to it! )
