Trying to ID my ECM (ECU) LS7 and diagnose a problem
Guys, I REALLY need your help...
I have a 'special' LS7, 'special' because I believe it was a non-production version with forged pistons etc straight from the factory as a 'left-over' (2007) from a run for motorsport.
The ECU supplied seems to have a very small stamp between the vanes with the letter E98. I thought most were supplied with something liake an E40?
I cannot find any reference to the E98 if that what it is on the net. This ECU came with the fuse box, and two relays (1 x pump + 1 x A/C)
Why am I asking? Good question... The engine is up and running now - it starts and idles but totally ignores the FBW throttle-pedal!
The Throttle-body has a silver throttle plate. (I believe some used for motor-sport have gold ones), and reacts to me gently pushing the plate open to returnb to closed.
I have checked all the connectors for bent, pushed in or broken pins, and none of the fuses has blown.
SO... is this the right ECU/Throttle-body/Throttle pedal combination? I have no idea...
Please help!!!!!

Yes it has just been confirmed as being the E38, so thanks...
However I have an error code that will not go away - p0641
This is the first time after receiving the engine 2 years ago that it has been installed and started. I have checked all connections but it keeps coming back.
Any idea where I could get a wiring diag and pin-out ID for the loom/ connectors & ECU? That would help a huge amount and allow me to check all the pins on the various connectors!
cheers

Right Guys, and with your useful advice - I have got to the bottom of the problem - but raises another!
Checking the voltage on the ref circuit I found 1.4 volts!
So through a process of elimination I found that no sensors seemed to be the culprit????
Then I hd a flash of inspiration and disconnected the alternator plug...and voila - 5v ref sprang back into life!
...and the engine started and revved!
..So, what the heck is going on with the Alternatorfield duty and turn on circuit?
Any bright ideas?
cheers
