   To say im happy is an understatement, basically ever since ive had my engine in, in ocotober ive had the Engine Management light on everytime i boot the car and it felt like it was holding it back...I tried the paperclip test said EGR buy a new EGR still the same
I was using a differnt ECU to the one supplied with the engine because the one supplied i never had the chip or transponder ring for 
However, today the transponder and chip finally came for the original ECU, fitted it went for a drive and bloody hell what a difference, car pulls for low down rather than bogging down, no flat spots and pulls right through the rev range and is certainly quicker than it was before, for one it wheel spins into 3rd bit chavish i know
Anyway just thought id let you know that this has made my month, because so many times ive wanted to get rid of the thing because of the little orange light on the dash !!

Glad you got it sorted! Have had similar annoying problems with my engine in the past and feels good when you get it all running smoothly again

You know what Rob, I reckon thats why my Nova was'nt as fast as what it was supposed to be because of that ECU, it was only ever running 16.4 up the Pod yet Rob Lee's was much faster.
