You know, I honestly can't tell you why they feel it's the ECU. All I know is what they have told me about getting wierd readings and feedback from it. I have to say that when I picked it up last time and took it for a 3 minute drive and got stranded a mile away from the shop, I was less than impressed. Especially since I just spent over $4000.00. They did stay late and found a blown fuel pump fuse and fixed that.

The car started and I put it on the trailer. At that time, they stated it was just the fuel pump fuse. OK, fine.......but it certainly made me wonder about issues with that in the future as they just put in a larger fuse. I trailer it home and literally drive it one time, stored it for a couple months and when it was time to place it on the trailer again, it won't start? WTF???

Obviously something is going on. What, I don't know and it sure seems like they don't know either and I am the one that is going to end up with issues. They did not mention anything last time about the ECU but it didn't start prior to taking it to them this time. Because it didn't start, I do not think the turbo upgrade or piston install has anything to do with it.

Obviously something happened from before, but what....I don't know and apparently they don't either. Could the larger fuse that they placed in the fuel pump cause a problem? I wouldn't think so, but I have no idea. I do know that the last time they did the fuel pump, ECU, and a clutch and limited slip.

They also did do something with the Greedy Emanage system as they apparently were going to have it control less functions as the computer was being reprogrammed. In addition they removed a water injection unit that was reportedly non functional and rewired an air fuel gauge and boost gauge. I would think that the problem would most likely be with one of those things or the ECU.

I honestly don't know what to do if I have problems. Is there anyone that I could take it to that would know what they are doing with it? They make it sound as if it is now running better but why??....Who knows if they don't know what is wrong in the first place.

Charlie, all I know is that they said that they were getting weird readings from the ECU.
I forwarded on all of the information that you sent me and I posted Matt's responses on this thread. At this point in time he just said "It's behaving but may not be 100%". Maybe he will find out more but at this time, that does not inspire a lot of confidence. He said he would see how it fired up tomorrow. It sounds like he is trying to figure it out but really doesn't know.

Charlie, I just hope that it runs ok and I can get it out to Vegas. It would be nice to have someone tune the car that I have confidence in. If by some chance it is something with the Greedy emanage wiring, fuel pump, etc., is there someone that could evaluate it out there in Vegas? Does anyone have a suggestion for someone close to Michigan?
Thanks
