Re: ECM problem

What parts? For the car or for a cable? If you ordered the parts for making your own cable from China, see this topic:

Re: ECM problem

Yes, I know. I just wanted him to see how to avoid the problems that can arise before he starts to make one.

Re: ECM problem

Run a scan while either running or cranking. Save the log file and post it here or somewhere you can link to it.
