thanks

Check the airflow meter and check the lambda sensor by replacing them with working items from somone elses car - thats the only way to check and see if they are working. An ECU doesn't really stop monitoring things - it is a computer running a computer program...

I would be very sceptical of a place that told you its the ecu, if its purely that its overfueling and the lambda sensor has been 'checked' (which isn't that easy to do...)

New ecu's do cost about £200, not from Vauxhall mind.

A superchip doesn't replace the ecu at all, nor does a superchip. If your ecu does have a fault then I wouldn't fit a superchip and hope for the best.

Dependant on your car it may not be an actual chip that is replaced, it could well be a reprogram.

Get the ecu checked before you jump in.

think you just need a superchip coz it will control the fueling of the ecu i think?:o

so would i need a new ecu then for sure? or would the superchip replace it

cost mucho more than that imo :look:

a new ecu costs about 200 quid

how do you mean goes into it??? if it went into it rather than replacing it surely the ecu would need to be replaced:boggle:

get a uni chip. tehn just get it mapped every time you do a few things to your engine

The superchip just goes into the ecu so you do not need to get another one. :D

been told my cars running very rich so had lambada sensor checked and thats fine so its the ecu apparently. i was gonna get the car chipped eventually, although its standard at the moment, so am i able to just buy a superchip? does this completely replace the ecu or do i have to by a new ecu then superchip it after?
