ok missing something here.... has a hesitation when shifting...

so swapped the ecu thingy''

Image

no change

pulled computer thingy tcu?????

Image


not flash.....it has a faint high pitch noise coming from it when the ignition is on..
could or would this cause the trans to play up....

tps can cause it but usually that comes with a stalling and running like shit as well, she ideals and run wells...have been over the trans and bits about a dozen times and shes all hooked up properly....


thoughts anyone..

cheers

Yeti :shock: ,nice one,the only excuse you will have now is your not Sav, if you can go half the places he does you will be better than most wan a B's, Sav's a top bloke, top engineer , and one of the top 4wheelers in the South Island if not NZ, who is always ready to share his experience. What is he building now ??. GO LEARN AND ENJOY, FITZY.
