Hi guys / gals.
Im being slowly driven mad by my wifes mw, im now seriously thinking the ecu may have died.
Anyways, a few moth back the battery failed - down to 9volts - we had engine faults galore (everything light up lol), so i duely replaced that and thats when the problems started occuring.
First of all the car went to three cylinders, after diagnostics cylinder 3 was missing, so i cleared the fault.... fine the car went back to normal???,
that was fine for a week or so then the mrs rang me at home saying it had stalled and wont start (sounded like a dead battery with slow starter motor), any ways i told her about the ignition on off 3x and volia the car started. I placed the car or diagnostic again thinking maybe another coil (the original failed one is still in the car and working),
diagnostic read cam shaft sensor fault???? stored but not active???
cleared....
following day same again.
next day cat failure. (no signal)
then abs failure (no signal)
then loose connection (cleaned the connection block under the battery).
abs, cam cat lose over and over again......
the car is running fine.
So today i went out to yet again clear the faults, none found???!?!?!?
the desplay is constantly bleeping and flashing engine fault but nothing is showing on diagnostics.
Actually atm the car is driving nicer than it ever has before it feels like its got some guts now but that constant bleeping over and over again drives you nuts.
Has anyone got any idea where to look now or do you think its a case of failed ecu and just purchase a new virgin unit.
many thanks for you help my wife may not leave me if i can get to the root of this major annoyance.
thanks
roy
