Subject: A small ECU question before I go.
Hi, first, good Fourth of July to my southern neibhors, I hope that sad
isolated event (shooting) in LA didn't lower your American holiday
spirit!!!
Not so long ago a ask if anyone had a spare ECU (Digifan 86/91 part #025
906 022) for sell, a few of you guy did offer one (and I tank you) but I
finally bought one from Stephen in CA.
I receive this one today and sadly it doesn't work, it's very clean outside
in inside but it's dead, I cleaned all metal contact plate (main
connector), I also unplug the battery to try to reset this one without any
success. I got no pump humming (priming) when the ignition key is at the ON
position before start (working with mine) and no noise form the ECU by
itself either.
I opened this one to take a look and I don't see any composite/ parts
burned or fried, the solder looks fine, I don't see any "Cold" one. Well if
any of you guys have a quick suggestion I would appreciate. Instead of
sending this one right away to Stephen I could also try to have this one
check by my friend (Electronic engineer) if I could get the electronic
schematic plan or layout of this one??? If not I could also use a repair
address for those, I would check with them when returning for my well
needed vacation (leaving this Saturday) I will check my e-mail a few time
tomorrow for any suggestion. I have some basic electronic knowledge so I
could try a few solutions if you have some.
On a last note!
As I said before, I will be leaving Saturday for 2-3 week for a relaxing
type of vacation, not to much driving in the westy (no more than 3000
miles) on the eastern part of Canada visiting eastern Quebec, NB, PEI and
maybe NS.
Maybe, and a hope! To meet a few westy owner on the road, maybe 1 or 2 of
you guys, we never know!!! It's a small world. I have decided to not bring
my portable computer/cellular connection with me (I think it's a wise
decision!!!! I got to get away from those devil machine) so I won't be able
to take any e-mail!!! (Talking about my westy page).
Finally, I want to thanks everyone who helped me on this list, many did!!!
Especially at the beginning of my westy experience, many thanks to you all.
I think that by doing my web page I helped a few also, this was done
because I wanted to do the same for others than some did for me!!! Also
because it's easy for me to put stuff online. (Not do easy to write in
English!)
Lately I have been a bit arrogant and I fully apologise if I offended
anyone, truly sorry, sincerely!!! I had to cope with difficult personal
problem lately and it was showing in my writing and with my personal
friend.
I think you are a bunch of cool guys and I hope to meet a few of you guys
in a near future as a will be traveling through the states on to Mexico
next winter.
Regards to you all and have a nice month of July.
Peace! Ben
Ps.: in the mean time, think of some stuff you could bring to
