Hey Guy's. S O R T E D!!!!!! loaded a new map on the ECU & also the ICV was probably sticky due to the engine being laid up for a year. I have now run the engine up to temp 4 times & it works! (whether it was the map or a combination of a sticky ICV as well I don't know). But it works as...

I'l have a look tomorrow. I did have an error code but is was crank angle. Just wondering now if the electrician wired it up correct. I thought it was going to be almost plug& play!

Aftermarket ECU Bushwhaker! Spitronics

promisedpics here are a couple o fpics of my project.

Thanks for your information Guys. To answer your question Tonyd, as i didn't have the original loom or ECU with the engine, i thought if i get an aftermarket management system at least i have the option of upping the power if i need too. I will research the merc pump but its probably up to the...
