A real quickie - trying to remove my ECU and the wire harness doesn't disconnect from the ECU. There's a little black screw at the top of the black sheath covering the harness connection. OK to remove?
Been doing this long enough to have learned not to unscrew things I don't know anything about! Got the ECU and cradle unbolted, but not enough room (engine in place) to remove with the harness connected. Thanks! |

Oh. You have a 1.8L engine. Thats L-Jet. Ther is a spring loaded clamp at the base of that ECU connector to release the connector from the ECU.
Doubt your ECU is whatever problem you may be experiencing. |

Doubt your ECU is whatever problem you may be experiencing. Right, Jeff (forgot to mention 1.8). This one has a little finger hook at the top - I noticed it when looking at my own picture. Also feel it's unlikely, but the next step is a tow job, and kind of wanted to see how/if to remove and clear out "the hole" as long as it's disabled in the winter. Thanks for all your help (and parts) to me and in the forum. |
