Have a problem that i cant solve
I have now change the ECU to uk car.
And i have repalace both knok sensors on the car. When i read the ecu its say no problem just normal chenck engine flash, when i try to read it. This is aftrer a fail jump start in the winter and the fuse line blow. =( So now i really dont know where to start to solve that engine cut when driving.(turning) If i drive stragth forward the car go like it should. Higway drving is also not a problem, But if i try to turn around a corner the engine gomes and go. Not died but its feels like all the power is gone in one sec and gome in the next. Also if you drive strage a head and turn the stering wheel left and rigth i can feal power get low and strong. Some one can help me?

Re: Have a problem that i cant solve
Mine acted That way when my MAF was broke. just saying a guess. The guy checked it by running the motor and tapping on the MAF with a small hammer or the handle of his screwdriver. Could also be a wire being strained or pulled. Does it do it in both left and right turns? No expert just passing on what happened. To mine.

Re: Have a problem that i cant solve

Have a look under the dash, at the wires going to the ECU, there may be one that is turning the TC on and off, when you move sidewards. Harvey.

Re: Have a problem that i cant solve
I have take a look on my car today.
And i cant find anny lose wiring or something that the wheel go in to. Also try to check this when the wheels are in the air and nothing happen car is running grate. And not cut. Only when the wheels are on the ground. But i have now find out a way to get the error code on my car. If i steer the car all the way to the left or right when i not driving (engine running). the check engine light comes on. And goes off when i dont steer. The code i get is 38 Engine torque control Wiring harness between ECU and TCU is in short circuit. After i have check this and should drive the car to the garage (30min away) the enigne light stays on, and when i have drive a little the Antilock brake light comes on.

Did you add this jumper wire to your ECU? if so it could be grounding the Torque Control from the Power Steering wire. If you did this Jumper wire mod, just remove it and make sure that there is no wire connected to the Torque Control pin on the ECU. Harvey.

Re: Have a problem that i cant solve

When you turn the steering, and pressure is developed in that line, that switch on the pump, puts a ground on the green/white wire to the ECU, to signal, that the power steering is loaded, so that engine rpms can increase to handle the load. The jumper wire is connected to the green/white wire, that the pressure switch is grounding. So when you turn the steering, the green/white wire is grounded, and the jumper wire is also grounding the Torque Control wire. I don't know what you mean by "but then i cant delete the error code". I am sure that if you cut the jumper wire, everything will work OK. Harvey.

Re: Have a problem that i cant solve
I try to cut the jump wirer but then check engine light is on.
And if i try to remove the error code on ecu it will not go away. Whit the two blue wirer in the Black conector. Under the kick panel.

Re: Have a problem that i cant solve
That method almost never works to clear the code, in my experience. Unplug the battery for ~1/5 hour and it ought to clear it.
