Default getting new ecu

My computer crapped out and isnt shifting my trans right, i was told the ground drivers in it are out and i have to get a new one. sucks, now i have to go back and get it re-tuned. maybe i'll put her on the dyno again and try to get some new numbers

Do you know anyone you could swap in another ECU to confirm that's what your problem is? I'd hate to see you get another and find out that the problem wasn't fixed...

well it is at ard now, they ordered it and are gonna see if the swap works, it not then i am not gonna pay for it. but they have tried everything else, they grounded the solinoids them selves to check and it shifted fine, this seems to be the only thing that could be it... or so it seems

well at first it would jump really hard when put into gear, then it would shift kinda wierd from 1st to 2nd then from 2nd to 3rd and once there it would not either shift up or back down. now he said 2nd and 3rd are fine just wont go into 4th or back into 1st. says the solinoids arent getting the signal to shift from the ecu. if he sends the ground signal manually, (from a wire connected to the battery), it shifts fine through all the gears, otherwise it is stuck in 2nd and 3rd

who did the programing on the ecu? might want to have someone go through that and make sure everything is set right.

g-force programmed it but that was like 6 months ago and it just happened. anyway, ARD called me back, the new ecu makes everything run perfect, just need to retune it tomorrow on the dyno and we'll see what kinda numbers i put out with my mods
