Car starts, dies under load

[Stag]

@Carolyn THANK YOU ITS WORKING

[Carolyn]

Thank f#*k for that.

You'll need to get an ecu and keys from one of our breakers.  You should be able to swap key innards over so locks aren't a problem.

Use that ECU for now while you get that sorted.

Yippeeee!!

Well done for sticking with it.

Cant thank you enough, everyone has been amazing

[Carolyn]

That's how this club works.  Special, isn't it?

You cannot view this attachment.

How many pennies has that saved you eh?

Well done you for sticking with it. Exactly the right attitude for what was a decently complicsted scenario with an unlikely outcome.

[Gaz mr-s]

Well done everybody, including Stag....pretty damn good for a 20 year-old.  I couldn't offer any advice, but followed with interest.
Does he need to get a JDM ecu?

[Carolyn]

Not really.  I sent him a JDM one to avoid immobiliser issues, while we were figuring it out.

He's got a Euro car, so a Euro ECU would be ideal - slightly different tune.

[StuC]

I am so pleased to read this has a positive outcome.

@Carolyn legend... AGAIN!! we are lucky you are with us.

@Stag I am proud of you for sticking with it and not throwing in the towel. That is some entrance to the club! Well done!

[Stag]

Plan on sticking around, got the story on how the og engine blew up in the first place, got some pictures worth sharing.

It does have a check engine light we need to sort. Still getting a link error when using my obd reader but we will get there.

[Stag]

Glad to have her back

[Carolyn]

You'll need a JOBD reader!!

There's a line of code you can add to your car's profile in Torque Pro, that lets reading happen.

A standard OBDII won't read that ecu.

So log as it's running fine, don't worry about the light (probably an O2 sensor heater).

You can sort that when you get a Euro ECU.

Send me a PM with your email and I'll send you the JOBD instructions.

got the story on how the og engine blew up in the first place.

Interested to hear that

[jonbill]

Good job. I couldn't watch the last couple of pages!

[Carolyn]

Good job. I couldn't watch the last couple of pages!

You can come out from behind the sofa now.

[Joesson]

I have been following this with interest.
What a splendid example of Club camaraderie and knowledge from all those involved in tracing the problem and @Stag for working through the suggestions.
As @StuC said we are so fortunate that @Carolyn  decided upon a 2, joined the ROC and shares her knowledge.
All I can add, having seen the "She's alive" photo, is that being parked on such a steep hill likely upset the fluid levels.

[Carolyn]

Stop it you lot.  It was a group effort.
