That >just could not work. Yep, I completely agree with that but take note that I was talking about "tricking" the ECU on a test bench, not in a real van with real injectors and gasoline... Anyway, I've managed to get to injection pulses by injecting artificial pulses into the HALL sender/RPM input. >of course..if hydro-locked with gas..just remove the spark plugs to clear > the fuel out, That's more work and not so convenient where I was and without tools, so I just cranked till it got free...my guess is that no harm was done because there's also compressible air in the cylinders, not just uncompressible gasoline. > Crank it on starter with a remote starter switch with fuel and ignition > systems not on. How do you install a remote starter switch? Do you connect it directly to the starter solenoid? >I had an ECU do exactly this in a 1.9 wbxr ...injectors on all the time, >as soon as you turn on the key. >I sent that ecu to David B. to look at .. >basically we decided it was junk I think. He may still have it. From my experience, in this scenario the ECU's main processor is dead. And it's not easy to replace the 40 pin chip (let alone get hold of one...). |
