Argy. After my exhaustively long engine-out service (another thread somewhere) turns out my 'chuffy idle' problem persists. Porsche dealer tech has been tenacious, thorough, got a 'borrowed' ECU to diagnose and it appears mine is 'dying' plus my O2 is bad. So...

Looking to get a rebuit one. Have contacted Wong, since my car 'possibly' had one of his chips from previous owner.

I've seen Vertex rebuilds at very reasonable prices, and another thread searched turned up ECU Doctors.

Any guidance, advice, sources, endorsements greatly appreciated.

 

you need to call jose at specialized ecu repair...he's the man....1-800-328-1425

The ignition stage in my DME recently failed. The independent shop I use sent it to Specialized ECU Repair http://www.ecudoctors.com/ and it's good as new. Their turnaround was quick and they offer a 5 year warranty on their work. My shop has used them before and recommended them.

 

Thanks guys. Went to the site, VERY nice. Called them, got George, (who had the accent of Jose) and was super helpful. Getting my 'rebuilt' ECU in the next couple days. Looking forward to it, and thanks again.

 

Yes, Specialized ECU are the guys to go to.

They also published a short troubleshooting guide somewhere to diagnose a no start condition.

 

I think I'm headed in this direction.

Anyone think lorenfb would give me a discount?

 

nope.

Only if you promise to post factual information in an non-entertaining (<-- Top Gear reference) fashion going forward.

 

 

Doug, he might give you my discount. The five knuckle discount. Oh well.

 

I've not had the pleasure of meeting lorenfb nor crossing his threads. Sounds like good reading though.

I will say the customer service manner at ecudoctors.com was quite good.

 

It is a universal rule of business that people typically do business with people they like..... Just sayin'

 

Agreed on that. My personal inverse corollary is that when I've done business with people I don't like, I've not liked myself much for doing so.

 

I've seen that movie as well.

Good luck with your idle issues.

 

Thanks Scott. After valve set, plugs, DME relay, injectors, I'm SURE this'll be it. Really feel good that this car is getting the service it clearly deserves. Gonna be fun once off the lift!
