my car = ecu jihad?

[chuckybob]

so my car just chomped its way through its second ecu.

i have two questions:

1) is there an electrical fault that can cause this? i noticed my mechanic installed eta injectors instead of i injectors on my car; could that fry the ecu?

2) or is there a life expectancy on ecu's of about 22 years that no one really talks about?

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm, im pretty sure eta injectors are low impedance..... not good.

[chuckybob]

they are low impedance for shizzy. 2-3 ohms ftl. but could that fuck up the ecu?

-e- oopsiedaises. plz move this to general technical mods

did some reading on teh intarwebs and found out why running low impedance is bad. :( the resistance through them is exacly where it should be, is that alone a sign that theyre still working, or is there another test that they need?

[DaN]

if you are using the wrong injectors replace both the dme and install i injectors

[PeaveyBassist]

If you need high impedence injectors and you used low ones... that would definitely fry the ecu.
