ECU Problems

[Meph]

i dont think my p/s is leaking, when u got it it was on the min level of oil, then i topped it up and 6 months later its still the same level


weiirrrrdddd... prolly hasnt been touched for the first 14 yrs tho

hey '96 TE', i sometimes have that problem with mine. I went to Mitsu in Gosford NSW and they quoted me $1200 fitted for a new TCU... I asked if the ECU and TCU are integrated and they said no, telling me that the ECU controls the engine, whereas the TCU only controls the transmission.

So what they are saying is that the tcu is screwed and not the ecu? I was told it was the ecu. some of the guys in this forum thought that the tcu and ecu were intergrated from the te onwards so i dont know.

I meltred and warped a power steering pump, does that count?? :p

The TE's were ****ed autos, I had exactly the same problem, started happening about 40,000 kms and I sold the car at 90,000 kms. I was quoted the same amount for repair so I traded it in and bought my TF, let the dodgy car dealers get a lemon for once :p.

Havent had a problem with the TF auto as yet (Touch wood) and I give her a hell of a thrashing :p

Good luck getting it sorted!
