Technical Mckrich Chip + ECU Change Over Procedure

[Scuderia]

Yeah, you could do it that way and sell on the other chip/ecu.

Well what iam going to do is try this ecu in first to get it settled in and see what i think of it?? not that iam saying Mckrich chip is no good because iam not and iam sure it makes a difference? iam just very inquisitive,

If i do this then go back to my stock ecu will that then run like **** when put back in until it settles back in???

Thanks for your help

Yeah everytime a ECU is reset (e.g. unplugged), it will have to learn all the different parameters from the sensor again!

I never find it that much of a problem tho!

Sometimes you can tell the difference, other times not, very hard to predict. Often it's little more than slightly rough idle which will eventually vanish.

and IMO, i would just stick that ecu on if it works ... as i wouldn't bother with telling the insurance the ecu are now decoded!

As fiat did make cinq (899) with a uncoded ecu.

Well as promised a little update

Iam pleased to say it honestly couldn't of went smoother than it has,popped the clip removed the 4 10mm nuts and removed the stock ecu then placed on the new donner ecu with Mckrich chip fitted secured the 4 nuts connected it back up turned the key waited until it was primed and Bobs your uncle,now i left it to run until the fan kicked in and after a few minutes of running with the aid of the light press of the gas pedal the the revs dropped to just below 1000 RPM and what i can tell from sound and vibration it seems to be running the very best so i then took it out for the short blast and as i said iam more than pleased with the result:devil: its there all the time when you need itits far more responsive than before,i could even go as far to say i was nursing one easy pleased me,now obviously the key code light is lit up but i can live with that but iam now on the look out for cat 1 immobiliser alarm but i better trot off and speak nice to the oh,

Well i would just like to thank everyone for helping not that there was much to it in the end but the advice goes a long way so thank you all very much,
