Simon Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Have you swaped the dizzy from the BFMR engine over to the gtr motor? The 1600 motors had a reluctor type pickup. The GTR/GTX 1800s ran an opto style pickup. The two are not interchangable unless you have the ECU reconfigured. Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 If you had trigger 1 and two swaped it might run on two cylinders the tell tail sign will be what the engine RPM reads on the remote. If its really low then it would be worth checking the triggers. ALso be sure to check the earths from the ECU to the block and also the block to the body / chassis. If these are missing or a poor connection then all sorts of strange things can go on. Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top Tune NZ Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 soundz like a wiring fault? do you have a hand controler that you can check engine temp also check the vacuum hose is connected correctly to the map sensor. if it was right for a few days it wont be a ecu fault it will be in the wiring or vacuum hose area.
