Hi all, have been lurking for a while on here and have read lots of technical threads, now it's time to post a thread myself.
I'm having some problems with my wife's Lancia Ypsilon. As the engine and platform is the same as a Punto MK1 I'm posting it here.
first it was intermittantly cutting out and later running on 2 cylinders.
As the 1.2 fire engine runs a wasted spark setup it is most likely one of the coils has died, so I have replaced both coils, unfortunately this was not the solution. Apparently if the coils break they kill the ECU as well.
Now the problem... my wife's lancia has an IAW 16FF.EU ECU and the exact same one is impossible to find.
I found loads of magneti marelli IAW ecu but all with different codes.
lots of them also say 1.2 SPI so possibly work.
I have a local guy that can decode the ECU so i dont have to swap all the locks, but i don't want to find out a different code number will not work after paying him to decode it.
Will an ECU with a slightly different code number but with 1.2 SPI work on my engine?
Or is there a way to repair the ECU myself?
