Post by Joshtussey »

OK!! SO!! I reset my ecu via disconnecting the positive battery terminal,, after i reset the ecu the car starts n runs great no problems!!NO CEL,I can see my s300 v2 flashing green n red in the usb port cause it's sending real time stats to my tunerview 2 everything works in perfect harmony,,,,,, UNTIL I turn it off then shit hits the fan!! Car starts runs runs runs 3 seconds then dies,,CEL is on ECU is flashing red with no feed to the tunerview read out just says connecting cause it's not getting any info from the ecu.... NOW HERE'S THE KICKER!! If I reset my ECU it runs perfect again until I turn it off,, BAD CAPACITORS?

I would recommend that you try our ECU and s300 in a different vehicle and see if the same issue persists.

This does not sound like a problem with the ECU or the s300 since you are disconnecting power throughout the entire vehicle when you unplug the battery. This sounds more like something is shorting out somewhere in the car when the key is turned to the on position and that is what is causing the issue. You really need to attempt to try this in another known working vehicle.

It is a possibility. You should never run non-resistor plugs.

Create a new calibration and adjust for injector size, then see if that helps. If it is the calibration, import the tables from the old to the new calibration.
