ecu question

[mrpeal55]

is there supposed to be a clicking noise when you bridge Te1(T1) and E1? i have bridged the them and all i can hear is this clicking noise but theres no light on in the dash. also does it matter if you start the car up whilst there joined?. cheers for any help anyone can give.

are you sure you've bridged the correct terminals. and it is Te1 not t1, t1 is a different terminal. The clicking noise could be you shorted something.

When setting the timing you need to set it into diagnostic mode - the clicking is your idle stabilisation valve bringing the revs down (it's on the drivers side of the inlet manifold)

theres was a clicking noise with the engine off. I definetly bridged the right ones though seems funny how the light in the dash doesn't come on aswell, thinking some one has taken the bulb out for some reason

Check your earths mate, Somhairle found a loose gearbox earth stopped his diagnostics from working.

i get the constant clicking. its a relay i think. my engine light works ok though, maybe your bulb has blown or something stupid

ive' also noticed that half of the speedo doesn't light up.

Does your EML come on with just the ignition on, then go out? That would tell you if the bulbs been pulled out
