hi guys I have a 1993 KZJ78 prado auto . my mechanic today told me the ECU is dead. engine would crank over but wont start at all. anyone got a ECU for sale? or does anyone know where i can get my current one repair.


cheers

Good luck finding one..
I know of one in Fiji...
There is also a place in Nelson who fix ECU's

They did one for a club member late last year.
The Capacitors leak when they get old...

thats not wat i want to hear. where in Fiji?

shouldnt be too tricky to replace the caps... only gets tricky if the tracks have been corroded.

Last year I was helping a guy in Canada track down an ECU.
NZ had very little stock in the wreckers and when I did find one they wanted over $500 bucks.
Then I found this one in Fiji.

Its still for sale.
I would go for the fix first...

I think I've still got one in the garage. I'll have a look tonight. Where are you?

I picked one up last week from a wrecker for $195.00 thru a Trade-Me add, Read about problems guys have had so time for a spare .

Hi Alan

those guys at AE in Nelson are pretty good, we have used them in the past... send it to them 1st would be my reccomendation

KbushNz: that computer from Fiji doesnt match my ECU number so not sure if it will work. the auto electrian that my mechanic end up taking my truck to in palmy managed to find one up in auckland for $3XX, kinda felt i had to pay no matter what if i want to get my truck going and it seems that the ECU is rare. the truck is going again this morning but now its at the panel beating shop getting rear door dent fix thanks to the mechanic managed to back it to their garage door..

the Auto electrian shop in town told me the chance of having my ECU repair is slim as a few copper tracks has been damaged thanks to a few leaked capacitor.. I left it with them as they will see if one of their guys can fix it ..if not then i will send it down to Nelson for a second opinion.. now i am in the hunt for another ECU just as a spare like old blue..

Thanks guys for the help...

wjw: i am in Palmy North. if you want to sell me your one let me know via private message..

hi, i am new to this but i need the ecu which is with wjw. that is the one which i need. how do i contact you wjw. thanks hash

Hi Hash, Ginzu has it now.

thank u very much for your reply, sorry i missed out-has anybody got one, i also need the wiring loom.

i bought a 94 prado and the ecu failled within a week. we changed the ecu-the engine was running fine but a/t was slow to change gears, finally the glow plug light was on and went off itself after some time-and then the ecu failed again.
i have been looking for a ecu but was told by mechanics that this ecu no. was for a hiace-i have checked with toyota and the engine no is for a prado not a hi-ace ikz. so toyota has told me the new ecu no which is
89661-60250. i am also after the wiring loom incase there is an electrical fault.
am i doing the right thing and what are my options.

make sure the loom matches the computer as the manual and auto looms are slightly different
