Car was running funny, Cleaned ECU with warm water and soap, Now it wont even start?? What gives?
So my car was running funny last night, hitting crazy boost and all..
So after STFA and all that good stuff, I decided to pull out the Z box ECU. The chips in it were so dirty, they had turned green (I live close to the water, so it was prolly alergies and what not getting in there?).
Anywho, I took it out of the box, and soaked the chip in warm water and soap.. Took it out, and it was still green? so i tried to use a tooth brush to scrub it. Green allergies* still wouldnt come off, So i said to hell with it.. Dried it off with a heat gun, and put it back in.. Car wouldnt even turn on??? Do you think maybe i hurt it with the heat gun? Or do you think their is just way to many ALLergies bugs on it, and I just need a new one..
Whats the best ECU box for running crazy amounts of boost? and what the best chip to put on it to make the ko3's most reliable??
That is all ; P
