ZE in, Kl31 ecu causing problems
ZE in, Kl31 ecu causing problems
The car runs fine with the k8 ecu. When the kl31 ecu is used to car idles funny after 10 or so minutes then won't startup again.
The shop said my kl ecu may be defected...
Anyone have any ideas?

Perhaps if the job was complete there may be better results. Splitting parts between 2 engines that weren't exactly designed that way is not going to produce the desired results. If you're going to want the benefits of a ZE, perhaps it may be best to complete the job, with the proper IM, TB, ECU and removal/closing/tidying up of the EGR system for a ZE. Half of one and half of another may only give you exactly what you got ....... have of a proper operating car. You usually only get out what you put in.. Who said that anyway...LOL.

i couldnt get my ze to idle properly on installation with the kl36 ecu, but a simple idle adjustment/ reset and everything was ok.
maybe check inside the ecu to make sure there is no evidence of it being chipped to accept another version of VAF ????
just a thought, p.s get that k8 manifold off, and get a curved neck you wont regret it

Thanks for the replies.
But it's looking like it is indeed a defective ECU (thanks ebay), supposively it killed my distributor and is causing other parts to short out. So now i'll be getting the car back with the k8 ecu
.
They still did say the car's damn fast. Said it felt faster than the h22a civic they had in their. We'll see I guess.
