I have an hour to take out two ecu's and swap them And i can have a jwt ecu for a 100 bucks. How do I get the ecu out???!!!!

 

bump bump come on guys I really need help. I have it part way out but this is such a *****. Any body done this befor to tell me how???

 

sorry dude cant help you here. but i was just curious to see if you were able to swap them out in that hour or not. i really hope you did. you might wanna title your subject better by stating what your problem is.......not just writing please help, cause most people will just ignore it if you do that.

 

it actually shouldn't be that hard, the first time is the worst and should take an average person near an hour, which it did for me, but after that, I can repeat the same process in 15 or 20 min...there really isn't a write up or something that I know of with pictures, you just kinda gotta figure it out, maybe the FSM or chiltons would tell you how, but you need needle noose pliers, a tiny socket wrench, a universal or swivel adapter would help, and some really good light in there, it might help, if you enlist the help of a friend who is good with his hands in tiny spaces as well as hold a light for you...that would make a world of difference!

 

The 4 white arrows show where there is 4 phillips screws, gold in color, take those out, slide ecu out of the PASSENGER SIDE, hook everything back up.

good luck

 

it's a little more complicated than that b/c there are several points where a group of wire will be attached to the ecu mounting bracket that will also hold the ecu in place, the ones toward the engine are the most difficult to undue...you will need needle nose pliers, they are white plastic two prong spreaders that need to be compressed to slide through the holes on the bracket, such as seen in the above photo, the other holes without white arrows...good luck!
