Default Limp Homer Ain't Limping Now !

Got my ECU back from ATE Mon. Put it back in (Thanks to "Yotarips" tips it took about 30 min.) and turned the key (after hooking battery back up) fired right up and idled fine. Reset my radio code and locked it up. Tues. Drove the car about 40 miles today, and so far everything is fine. If Yotarips 93 LS400 is still running good after his ECU repair (it's been a week) then we have two 400's that have had all their poor/no run problems solved by a $99.00 ECU repair from ATE. p.s. "Yotarip" may have used someone else.

Good job Rainbow. Have you fallen back in love with the car? I used a different company and paid more but I had the same result as you..... A perfect running car. I'm happy.

BTW,

THIS TOPIC SHOULD BE A STICKY!!

All contributors should list all the symptoms and followup with feedback on the results from the ecu repair. It would save alot of newcomers some money and frustration.

Default Any speed is better than none !

These cars would run good one day, and not at all the next. No acceleration + acceleration= great acceleration. p.s. I have some pics to ad the the sticky if needed.
