Re: [doc] Idle Speed ECU Reair

[Nick Tomlinson <nickandkathryntomlinson@xxxx>]

To John, no problem. Check everything that I said in an earlier post eg checking cabling voltages resistance at the ECU plugs first as my repair will not result in a working car otherwise.
Send the ECU to my works address (someone is always here to collect post). I'll send you an e-mail once I have received the parcel:
FAO Nick Tomlinson;
Aston Dane Plc
Park Mill Way
Clayton West
Huddersfield
HD8 9XJ
My no. is 07736610787.
Cost of components is approx £5 and time to repair is about 2-3 hours (inc testing). I'd test your ECU on my car first, if it works then there is something else wrong.
Just send me a cheque for cost of parts plus return postage and send me 2 tins of the clubs Stainless steel cleaner (or its money equivalent). Its topstuff.
If I am not going on site this week then you may get it back for the end ofthis week.
Best way to test drain from battery is to disconnect the earth cable from the battery and connect an ammeter between the Earth cable and the battery post and note the current drain. Disconnect each fuse from the fusebox in turn to isolate which circuit causes the drain. If you find the drain then check the components on that circuit. If it turns out to be the charging circuit then disconnect the leads from the alternator as you may have a 'leaky'diode in the rectifier that causes drain down. The safety lights on the doors may still be on when the doors are closed. You can disable these by disconnecting them from the switches near the doors on the main car body just underneath the dash.
Hope this helps.
Nick.

My garage have tried most of the 'quick fixes' for my idle problems, 
it looks like the ECU is to blame.

I would like to take you up on your offer of repair services, if you 
could e-mail me off-list with your address and a price for the 
component/delivery I will send you a cheque for the bits. If you 
could also advise on your charge for the repair and timescales that 
would be great.

As an aside could it be that this circuit is also responsible for the 
car's battery drain?
