Update - was stumped before, now I'm stumped and desperate. Which ecu-box does my car need? - S4gasm (LotR) 2014-04-08 23:24:28 (1231 views)

  - Awesome! - Timtheguru 2014-04-14 18:30:56 (814 views)
  - throw in a new sensor. If the fuse does NOT pop when it is disconnected, that'll do it. - EricVonHa 2014-04-10 23:23:07 (916 views)
    - yep, looking for a sensor now, just wanted to verify it was the sensor and not the wiring to the ecu - S4gasm (LotR) 2014-04-10 23:26:55 (925 views)
      - unplug it and key on... fuse still good? Problem solved!   -  EricVonHa  2014-04-10 23:31:51 (928 views)

        Shocking first! Safety later. Good thing that DC current has low amplitude. People could DIE!   -  EricVonHa  2014-04-11 00:17:55 (904 views)
        
        Ah yes, I see your point now, if it was the wiring it would have still popped when the car started.  -  S4gasm (LotR)  2014-04-10 23:40:17 (966 views)

        So it doesnt blow the fuse with that unplugged?   -  zillarob  2014-04-10 21:31:46 (944 views)
        
        exactly! started it 4 times, let it run, never blew. now, how do i know if its sensor or in the wire   -  S4gasm (LotR)  2014-04-10 21:36:54 (957 views)
        
        How many ohms between the 2 pins on the adjuster?   -  zillarob  2014-04-10 21:41:14 (953 views)
        
        with my meter set to 200 ohms. The numbers on the sensor is literally all over the place...  -  S4gasm (LotR)  2014-04-10 21:44:41 (937 views)
        
        What setting did I tell you to use?   -  zillarob  2014-04-10 21:45:34 (932 views)
        
        my lowest is 200!   -  S4gasm (LotR)  2014-04-10 21:50:47 (932 views)

        I hear ya.   -  zillarob  2014-04-10 22:41:29 (933 views)
        
        yeah i was just looking at it, and it appears its just 2 little bolts and i can swap in the sensor  -  S4gasm (LotR)  2016-07-19 23:59:43 (918 views)
        
        The adjusters are side specific,  -  zillarob  2014-04-10 22:52:57 (922 views)
        
        yeah, i'm much better with a wrench then a multi meter ;)   -  S4gasm (LotR)  2014-04-10 23:02:44 (928 views)
        
        here is my meter..   -  S4gasm (LotR)  2014-04-10 21:53:41 (958 views)
        
        and the wire end-to ecu, is steady at about 14-15.   -  S4gasm (LotR)  2014-04-10 21:45:15 (935 views)
        
        ok, ill prob have to do this tomorow after work.  -  S4gasm (LotR)  2014-04-10 01:13:31 (952 views)
        
        I'll try to keep an eye out.   -  zillarob  2014-04-10 01:20:30 (962 views)
        
        also, what ohms setting should i be using? 20, 200..??   -  S4gasm (LotR)  2014-04-10 01:42:26 (990 views)
        
        20, or the lowest you have.  -  zillarob  2014-04-10 02:00:13 (989 views)
        
        Ok, I think 20 is the lowest I have. Not sure about millio, i'll check tonight after work.   -  S4gasm (LotR)  2014-04-10 10:41:45 (905 views)

      - oh man...this could get interesting. thanks! - S4gasm (LotR) 2014-04-09 12:55:10 (1042 views)
    - No, early '01s had the H-box, late model '01s had an M-box ECU - b-thumper 2014-04-09 00:30:35 (1115 views)
      - so i can use any M box ecu?   -  S4gasm (LotR)  2014-04-09 00:39:37 (1084 views)
        
        ...   -  nyet  2014-04-09 12:49:03 (1073 views)
        
        according to that link, my car would have been H or J box..WT FACK.  -  S4gasm (LotR)  2014-04-09 17:07:26 (988 views)
        
        no, you just f'd up :P  -  nyet  2014-04-10 12:28:09 (938 views)
        
        H because it's a 6spd. J is for tip.   -  SUV  2014-04-09 17:57:40 (1059 views)
        
        but my ecu is an M box...   -  S4gasm (LotR)  2014-04-09 18:20:19 (1051 views)
        
        Doubt it is the original ECU then.  -  nyet  2014-04-09 20:20:26 (967 views)
        
        01/01 build date. New style badges on trunk. Front grill has old style. Hitachi maf.  -  S4gasm (LotR)  2014-04-10 00:18:32 (979 views)
        
        uh. you should read the link above more carefully :)  -  nyet  2014-04-10 12:27:45 (928 views)
        
        haha yeah, i didn't realize until last night my car was a late build.   -  S4gasm (LotR)  2014-04-10 12:39:21 (959 views)
        
        2nd! Build date is primary to me. Plus he should check for an F-hose and what MAF is present   -  b-thumper  2014-04-09 20:38:44 (989 views)
        
        If you have an M-box ECU (and assuming the prevous owner didn't swap the wrong one in)  -  b-thumper  2014-04-09 08:40:01 (1120 views)
        
        And what is involved in re-programming them? Or is T and M just plug and play?   -  S4gasm (LotR)  2014-04-09 10:17:12 (1040 views)
        
        M and T are interchangeable IIRC. Most 'tuned' cars are flashed with an M-box code.   -  PKmode  2014-04-09 11:40:26 (1029 views)
        
        What about a T box from a 01 A6? Would it need re flashed?   -  S4gasm (LotR)  2014-04-09 12:05:51 (1002 views)
        
        As nyet said, A6 is not the same. No cross compatibility.   -  PKmode  2014-04-09 13:43:06 (1008 views)
        
        err no JUST the BELs  -  nyet  2014-04-09 13:54:38 (1086 views)
        
        A6 T box (not s4) is BEL. you can't use that.   -  nyet  2014-04-09 12:48:33 (1069 views)

        ECU  -  AxelS4  2014-04-09 01:37:18 (1076 views)
        
        You sure that fuse wasnt 32?  -  zillarob  2014-04-09 02:19:00 (1097 views)
        
        Corrupted ECU ROM  -  AxelS4  2014-04-10 22:48:41 (975 views)
        
        the fact that 2 of the screws were missing from the ECU cover makes me think this could very well be  -  S4gasm (LotR)  2014-04-09 02:05:14 (1094 views)
        
        open it up and see it is chipped   -  infinkc  2014-04-09 10:33:03 (1043 views)
        
        i'll crack it open tonight, I had never opened one and wasn't sure if that was ok to do.   -  S4gasm (LotR)  2014-04-09 10:44:29 (1072 views)
        
        Its not the ecu   -  zillarob  2014-04-09 00:16:45 (1084 views)
        
        How can you be so sure?   -  S4gasm (LotR)  2014-04-09 00:30:09 (1094 views)
        
        I dont think can blow that fuse. It only provides ground to switch components.  -  zillarob  2014-04-09 00:41:07 (1140 views)
        
        trying to wrap my head around that...you said "if you had these codes and the fuse wasn't blown"  -  S4gasm (LotR)  2014-04-09 10:54:07 (1032 views)
