Hi all, i went today to buy a Tek3 ECU from a guy on this forum.
The problems is that i fitted the ECU to my car, it turned over but would not fire up. Anyone have any ideas?
Both my ECU and his ECU have the same part number, both off the same car and the same year.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Ronnie ;-)

 

Won`t this need mapping to your mods though on your car?? or do Tek 3 remaps work straight onto other cars....

 

Not sure m8

 

one a UK the other a JDM?

Simon

 

No, both WRX STI '02 UK Types.
No other mods than a PPP exhaust fitted.

 

Would you not need to get the key coded to the ecu?

How and Who would be able to do it?
And what cost?

Who mapped it originally for the other fella??

 

Its a dealer only job but no idea about the cost.

Not sure who did it - but the car did have a green sticker saying ECUTEK.

The problem is definately the key coding, you cannot swap ecu's without teaching the keys. Any EcuTek user can do this for you (as long as they support your model year of course), takes less than 10 mins.

Can you do it m8>?

 

Yes no problem, you could have a long trip though, depending where you are, and the car needs to come to me.

cheers

Was three hours for me Bob and I'm near Leeds to give you some idea Ronnie
