Is it true that after sitting on a shelf for over a year, an ECU from a
1988 RRC 3.5 with flapper type AF Meter, has to be completely reset before trying to run the engine again ?Thanks and appreciate the advice ! Hertriono Kartowisastro
Total rubbish, it's a read-only device with look-up data that's "burnt" on a processor. It'll work fine after any number of years, assuming it's serviceable in the first place. Badger.
Thanks Badger ! It was running perfect before I took the body off and replaced it with a Series, wanting to look like a 100" Stage I but with coils. It must be somewhere in the wiring then since it dies after a couple of seconds everytime I start it eventhough the fuel pump is running well. Any thoughts ?

Check the connections at the coil, there's a trigger lead (white/blue) runs to a relay mounted on the airflow meter support bracket. If that signal is lost, it'll fire up off the cold start injector but not get any main injection and so will die. Are you positive the pump is keeping running?? It will run during cranking but only remain running if it gets a signal from the airflow meter, via the relays, to do so. Worth rigging up a 12v feed straight to the pump just to eliminate the relays/wiring maybe? Badger.
I suppose it will be a 4cu, there is some stuff on my site which might help including a 4cu cirguit diagram from a chap who may be able to repair it for you.
