I read that RP17 should be removed and a jumper added on RP18.
In trying to figure out what is wrong with my ecu, I noticed that at RP18 I have a resister rather than a jumper.
It appears to have a solid blue stripe in the middle of the resister indicating that it is a 60 ohm resistor (and measures 60 ohms with my tester).
Could that have any affect on the ecu's operation?
Also, I read that cutting J1 will return the ecu to stock configuration. If I do cut J1 for testing in another vehicle, will that affect the changes I made at RP17 / 18 ?

do you think it would be possible to cause the motor shutting off / acting up?
I don't know if you recall, but a little over a year ago, I posted my .bin from Adrenaline Motorsports. The S200 dealer package was not able to connect to the ecu. I wouldn't suspect it, but could the auto / manual conversion affect the chipped area's communication? Or do you suspect other problems with that issue?
the ecu functioned fine for years. then all hell broke loose when I tried to tune with the S200 again. I just wanted to check and be sure that the auto to manual conversion would not be affected when cutting J1Spunkster wrote:This sounds like there is more going on than just an auto to manual conversion.
