I replaced the ecu today, and she started right up like nothing was ever wrong.
But under slight acceleration or load like going up a hill, it seems like she's skipping like all the cylinders stop firing for half a second. Or almost like the tranny is slipping then catching very quickly. If I put the pedal down a little more, but not enough to cause a change in gears it gets worse. Put the pedal down a little more to cause gears to change it goes away. At higher rpms its not noticable
Sometimes while idling I will notice something what seems like a missfire. Its only for a split second at a time but it will happen every few seconds.
Another problem is the traction control. The trac off light and cel are on, as well as the trac light above the needle. My guess is the trac ctrl ecu is bad?
What if the trac ctrl is malfunctioning and its causing the butterfly valve to close repeatedly for a split second? Could this be a possibility? I haven't tried unplugging it yet.
Another thing is the OD off light will start to flash once the engine warms up. And then the tranny will go straight from first to forth, completely skipping second and third.
When everything is cold when I first start it, it will shift perfectly. But once it warms up it turns to shit.
I really regret ever getting this car. If I didn't have a lien on the title, I'd just get rid of it
