Hi, Can anyone point me to where the ECU is on an '85 Golf? I've looked near the fuse box/relay panel and in the engine compartment. Bentley points to somewhere on the firewall, but nothing obvious in engine or passenger compartment. Is that it on top of the air cleaner? I want to check/clean the connector.
I'm trying to diagnose a chronic stalling problem. It just dies when rolling to a stop, othertimes when just driving along. Sometimes I can start engine immediately, sometimes have to wait 5-15 minutes and it'll start fine and run fine for days or weeks before next stall. Car has
283,000 km on it. Based on tips in this newsgroup, have changed fuel pump relay, transfer pump, fuel filter, ignition wires, and rubber boot on air duct just ahead of throttle. Have checked cap, rotor, plugs, and Hall sender wires inside distributor. Have cleaned up and put diaelectric grease on all connectors I can find in engine compartment and at fuel pumps. Have checked/cleaned grounds in engine compartment and beside fuse panel. Have checked state of wires from fuse panel to both fuel pumps. I haven't done a main fuel pump delivery test yet, that's next. We use name brand gas (Chevron, Esso, Shell, PetroCan) and refill at 1/4 tank. Alternator and battery check out ok. Engine runs fine otherwise. I'm running out of ideas.Thanks.
