Well the ecu stopped the clicking, and plugs were knackered. ?

Yep - nice one stu - perhaps it was the \'spirit\' of old rixy departing my motor and breathing life into yours ! - LOL
 
Be good to hear the last installment - could there have been 2 dodgy ECU\'s ?

hiya chaps

bloody hell brett - thats a quick update

looks like the ECU\'s were shot at

put the ECU in last night , put the battery on charge - shaun dropped me some plugs off at dinner ( i owe you one for them matey - tell me how much you want for the 4 and you can have the other 4 back )

came home tonight - put in plugs - added a gallon of V-Power juice , took battery of charge

paused for tea

went out - called for my mate who has prob spent 30 hrs or so with me - and we decided to try it

both looked at each other with fear in our eye - we had worked out that it would either work or it wouldnt

key in , turned her on , silence ( always a good sign ) - i gave the READY command - my mate nodded and away i cranked

engine turned about 3 times tops and she breathed into life ( this was without touching the "go faster" pedal )

she instantly settled down to 700 rpm , quickly thru the mobile to see whos name started with "RX7" got thru to brett and shaun to pass on the good news ( i think i got thru to shaun ?? )

car was smoking like hell - prob the gallon of juice in the exhaust

left her ticking over for a good 20 mins - nice steady idle

feeling brave so shut her off

waited 10 seconds and fired her up again - first touch and settles to 700 rpm

she revs smooth and sounds great ( so much nicer than mine )

has a look around - got a ABS light on - so thats a prob - headlights wont work and neither does the rear fog - suppose these are minor things ?!?!?

brett said that if the ECU was killed due to the water then odds are so is the ABS ECU

turned the car off again and fired her back up - same again - settled at 700 rpm and sounds great - left her for another 10 mins before we packed in for the night

plan is now - abs and headlights - then sort out the rest

so a big thanks goes to everyone who has read and inputted on this thread

turns out that a £30 ECU can solve a multitude of probs

i owe you all soooo much for keeping me going with this project , i cant thank you all enough

Stu

[grinder]
