I've purchased a branded standalone ECU recently and has been trying to get it to work. My tuner has been facing some strange problem trying to setup the basic before going up to the dyno, again.
Both of us have been very busy, it has been a month since, we've not gotten anywhere. Last saturday, we got together and did some testing following the recommendation of the manufacturer. The strange issues persisted. We reverted back to stock ECU (pnp) so I can drive the car home and I realised the AC is no longer cold.
Dropped my car at workshop today and was informed that the Compressor was blown with oil leaking and also the AC pipe in the front condensor had also bursted. Then I realised that while troubleshooting the strange ECU issue, we saw the rear hatch had smoke/steam coming out from the pulley side, now we know what it is. When the smk came, it was 100C oil and water. Well, this is definately within threshold as I've seen up to 110c oil and 115c water in track.
So now I am wondering if there could be a problem with the standalone ECU or wiring harness that caused the compressor and pipe to burst? Well, I know it sounds strange, ECU, Wiring and compressor/pipe burst. But the ECU is really behaving strangely.
I remember reading somewhere about some different between US wiring and Euro wiring. Anyone has specific or can direct me to some reading materials? I've been searching.
I am not looking to bury anyone, just want to avoid blowing another compressor and get my ecu to work properly. My tuner is professional and has tuned more than thousand of cars. My previous ride was tuned by him as well.
I dont wish to name the ECU to avoid misunderstanding. I just want to solve my problem and go on to my next mod Seq dogbox. :sad:
Any help will be much appreciated.
