Does anyone have a 1974 2.0L brain ecu for sale? 043 [code]
I have been having running issues with my car. The more I dig into my car the more I realize how the PO scabbed together the fi system. It runs, but not as good as I would like. I bought the 043 mps and it won't run with it, because I have what I think is a 037 1973 brain/ecu. I have a 037 mps I adjusted to get it running ok. I never thought I would ask this question, as I have loved the efi for over 10 years I have owned the car, but what type carbs could I cheaply buy to try. I want to verify the running condition of my motor apart from the efi. |

if you've been running that engine with that scabbed together FI system.
i'd say replace the bad part, doubtfully you have a combo of issues at one time. the ecu may not have ever been your problem? a carb cam and a FI cam are different, keep that in mind. you may want to begin with a compression test of each cylinder?? seems that a bad vacum line will cause a poor running condition. most here who have carbs run 40 dual webers I think. be careful buying from - zero post - members. let's see a pic of your engine bay : ) |

I heard the ECU rarely fails so your problem maybe elsewhere.
Good luck. |

I think I need to look for a vacuum leak, like you are suggesting. I hear more air noise than normal. See previous post for more info. I think I had an intermittent fuel problem with one of the main red power wires loose at the battery. I let the car sit for too long and they don't like that especially under a tarp as my garage was tied up. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...amp;hl=thompson http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...amp;hl=thompson |

I have a box of ECU's that I bought with an engine run stand. The guy said they all worked! Let me know the part number of the one you need and we can work out a deal!
