Just got off the phone with Specialized ECU repair in FL. They can test and repair the ECU without losing the tune I have in it. They also have a donor R50 Mini they will put the ECU in to drive and test is the ECU is good. $75 for testing and then the price increases depending on what the issue is. Anyone used this company? They seemed ok over the phone.
These guys give a 5 year warranty! Yes I learned a lot and did not waste so much in money as the parts I replaced were old, like the timing chain, injectors etc. It just took a lot of time. I think I had several issues happening at the same time which did not help. Like the bad fuel. The part that gets me is the ECU packed up the moment I added the bad fuel?? anyway I have to fit the ECU and hope an electrical fault did not cause the ECU failure......
Yeah, tunes can do weird things... Back in the day, I loaded an RMW tune over an MTH tune, and some weird things resulted, until Jan redid everything starting with a stock tune. Took 3 years to find that issue and fix it...
Didn't get the file until today...674MB= 2 hours to download! it took a few attempts to install as there are 3 parts and it's in German. Das Auto? and I'm not exactly Mr computer......anyway I will try to test it tonight if the rain holds off.
I have done a lot of research on installing the INPA software with last night being successful as I did not have any errors. The only issue is the cheapo OBD II/USB cable. I had put in in the USB post 10 times before the computer would see it. Then when I connect it up to the OBD post the red light flickers and goes out. The nice thing about this software is you have a lot menu's to check things. Anyway the cable is going back to Amazon . Just waiting for the rally dude to show up.
