Here we go again..
Our ECU Vendor had done his thing, and tested things good. This was after a seveal hundred mile jaunt to take the car to him, and then return home.
Encouraged, we took the car to a local track to see what it was going to do.
But, what it did, was it toasted another coil pack.
It is now going back into the box from which it came, and going back to the vendor who has tried his best, but has no idea why our car is doing this, since no other car that has his system is installed in it, is doing it. So after thousands of dollars in expenses to get into the Nationals at Indy, travel, and housing for the event, and then frying a total of 8 coil packs at $40 each, and not even be able to compete even though we qualified 15th out of over a hundred entrants, we
will get our money back for the unit, and move along.
So, on to the next ECU. We ordered it, and expect it within a day or so. After looking over the software for this newest ECU, I am encouraged that it looks very logical and quite flexible. So after a weekend off to attend a clambake at the Old Firehouse Winery in Geneva on the Lake, we will hit it hard again next week.
If you have noticed, or wondered why I don't call out the ECU vendors by name, it is only because I believe that everyone is trying their best. And I can't really fault them for that. So I won't trash any of them. But once we are running good with a new system, I definitely will make that system known.
