Hi E-Tech,

Can you PM me the charges to replace the components? I do open my ECU regularly to check, just preparing in case i have the need to replace them.

Thanks.

P/s: spoilt then send for repair will be more expensive.
Before spoilt, send will be cheaper-- preventive maintenances...

Mine is a P30.

But if there is no mark, still send for preventive maintenance? Is it a best practice to change all of them since it'll last another 10 years??

no wonder my car got morning sick at start and idle problem..
changed few distributor, cable, plug oso same..
cleaned throttle body oso same..

Ahlim and all....

This is his ecu picture.
Confrimed, caps have leaked!
Need to be replace before more trouble comes up.!!!

2 choice... send for repairs or buy another ecu...
U decide wat you need to do....Thanks

---------- Post added at 11:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:11 PM ----------

Ahlim....
Yes 3 picture, that 2 caps area looks worst but other also have leak, but very little and have no cause damage to outter areas so you might think it is ok, but actuall the cb caps are already leaking...
The biggest cap, it's the guy that will cause smoooooooooooking... TQ

P/s: that area of the connectors are related to TPS(throttel position)/MAP(air preassure) and more to the center IAT(air temp)... so i guess that is way you have cold start trouble now....but another few weeks, it will be worst unitl CEL up and cannot start.

so what do u suggest? replace all caps or only area in pic three?

 

[fusionnetx]

guys,

just an idea came out my mind..
can we change the caps or mod into solida-state caps??

You get the parts, i do on your ECU free.
Then we make report write up but if ecu kaput...sendiri mahu ingat....

If no CEL appear, then good job done.
