These two type of engine ECU both suffer from the same problem i.e Ignition misfire, the ignition coil spikes back to the ECU and blows the coil drivers from within the ECU and cause the engine to misfire.
Solution:
Get the ECU rebuilt and replace the ignition coils, it is very important to replace the ignition coils before the rebuilt ECU is fitted or the coils will damage the ECU again. |
