I thought I´d have a go at wiring in a shift-light tonight and I seem to have buggered up my car.I found 12v at the ignition and a good ground.I then spliced the correct wire/pin on the ecu loom.It didnt work though.
As I started the motor I noticed the check engine light and was running rough.Im not sure if it was like this before as I didnt start the car until I had wired in the light.Also, the fans come on as soon as I turn the ignition lights on.The only way to switch them off is if I turn the ignition off.
I tried to do the paperclip test but I was unable to get it to flash.I tried unplugging the battery for an hour but still the same.Ive checked and double checked if I managed to pull a wire off when I removed the ecu but dont see anything wrong.Ive checked al the fuses(not that it should matter!).
Now I m stuck.If we look by the fact I had my ecu loom off.What else could be causing the problem with the fans? Obviously they are getting a signal to come on.The question is why.Has anyoneelse been unable to do the paperclip check? If so,what was the problem there?
Know this is a bit long winded but its best with a smuch info as poss.Was there for hours trying to get the bastard to work.Im about a half inch from tears
