      1993 Chevy Lumina 3.8L dies while driving. Starts good runs good for 15 miles at most then dies. Will not restart right away. Have to wait 30 mins to an hour then will start up fine and drive fine for another 15 miles and die again. Its not overheating. No check engine light. Have changed fuel pump fuel filter plugs wires. Sensors would trigger check engine light always? Actually its SERVICE ENGINE SOON on this car. Unless there is also a CHECK ENGINE LIGHT thats malfunctioning. that would make sense.

      I changed oil pump, water pump, air flow sensor and as they downed the engine many other stuff for wear and tear. Eventually they say ECM maybe is down and they have no clue to fix it. Now I’m thinking is it better to go Ford Workshop then outsiders for experts is missing and no solution to the problem.

    Simple and to the point. I think this is the problem I’m experiencing with my 2004 jeep. I heard that Jeep’s are bad about that. I’m driving and stall out. It’ll start back up, after a time but I’ve changed the TPS, the coil packs, the oil sending sensor and still my jeep dies, randomly! I’m so frustrated.

  • @dntlss
    @dntlss Před 8 měsíci +2

    Excellent video,remember this, the newer your car is the more unlikely scenario that your ECM is bad unless it was in a flood or some catastrophe like that, a lot of ECM's have capacitors in them and capacitors have a lifespan like everything else,some of these capacitors control or "help" the processors make decisions and if they are leaking their guts out (which they do as they age) then you start having problems,they start minor and get worse as they get older and leak some more, this usually happens 10\15 years or so in the life of the car, less these days because the electronics are cheaply made.
    These problems need to be addressed promptly as the stuff they leak is corrosive to the board and what started as a simple problem will take out a nice chunk of the board overtime and cost you much more in the end,the only way to find out about this is to have a visual look at your ECM,you dont have to be a scientist or some super duper electronics specialist to conduct a visual inspection,it will be screaming at you as soon as you see it,sooooo if you have been replacing things you thought were bad and have checked and double checked everything and you still have issues more than likely its your board.

    2009 Kia Sorento, check engine light came on months prior to this: had occasional symptoms of possible clogged catalytic converter or even maybe fuel pump issues, drove it home one night, no new issues, next morning it crunk up but wouldn't go in reverse and acceleration in drive was very minimal and no power. Drove about 4 miles and it cut off, popped hood and seen that the transmission fluid and blown back out the dipstick, added more fluid, cut it off and back on and it was as if nothing had happened at all. Drove about 2 miles to store, got gas, drove about 1/8 of a mile and there was a grinding sound if you will, car cut off and would not start back up (acted like it had a dead battery) I let it roll in neutral to my yard, where it remains. It wouldn't crank back up then, 6/7 hours later I try to crank again and it would as long as I sit in the gas pedal. I check and confirm all fluids are good and leave it be for the night. Next morning it cranks up with no problem at all but now when I put it in gear it won't move, revs up, but in no gear will it move... Any advice on what I have going on here?

Replaced the relay went to start it...NOPE! Thought it was the fuel pump, just got off the phone with the mechanic and he said-"well, it's NOT the fuel pump, sounds like it's the ecu." Dang it! When I tried using my OBD reader it malfunctioned, well....that explains it!

      Hey man, did you replace the ECU on your car? I have random loss of power on my car when it's warmed up and it loses power even more on these hot summer days, the car is Audi A4 B7 1.9 TDI, I've checked and replaced everything, injectors tested, new turbo, new N75 valve, blanked EGR valve, intake and exhaust clean, new MAF and MAP sensor, new tandem pump, checked vacuum hoses and still I wasn't able to solve the problem, regular maintenance is done even before it should be, engine timing also fine, all filters changed etc. Let me know if replacing the ECU solved your acceleration problems, because I have replacing my ECU on my mind soon...

The tach needle won't rise to idle, the instrument cluster won't light up, the transmission shifter stays locked in park, and the engine dies when I take the jumper cables off. I've replaced the alternator, and my 2-year-old battery has been a pos, so I'm replacing that too. You think its bad ECM, or lack of power??

    This is describing almost exactly the problem I'm experiencing except for the shifting problems.
    Engine light code reads as an oxygen rich problem, but after switching out the ignition coils, spark plugs, both oxygen sensors, air filter, and also checking for air leaks...the problem persists.
    Then i remember getting a high pressure car wash, and water was leaking into the driver compartment. Thats when all the problems began with engine light, reduced power light, and traction control lighs all turning on....This is most likely the problem.

    I went through this with my 2011 Altima right before Christmas of 21. It took me a couple of weeks to make the educated guess that my ECM was bad. It kept throwing P0705 Shift Range sensor but I pur 2 new ones on it and didn't fix it. I even did the multimeter pin test someone recommended on all 3 and they passed so after much research I got one from a place online (cheaper than going to Nissan) when I got it all installed the car wouldn't run.
    I called them, they asked me to see if I can find out why it's not running. I said way ahead of you, it's not getting fire to the plugs. So they sent me a shipping label and asked me to send both of mine back so they could clone the original and flash theirs and send it back. When I got them back it worked.
    I never had another problem until yesterday. I went somewhere and when I went to go home, it's in limp mode again just like last time. When I checked the code, same damn code P0705😡 I still had a new switch and just for aguement sake I tried it and just like last time, I think it screwed my ECM again. It's only been a year and a half since I fixed this and about 4000 miles (my car only has 60 000 miles on it and I bought it new) at this point I'm ready to soak it in gasoline and burn it to the ground, I'm not gonna keep fixing the same problem at the ridiculous expense that frequently. Bought it brand new and these problems are getting ridiculous. I'll NEVER own another Nissan again, I don't give a damn if they paid me to take a truck load of them.

    I have a question on 2004 suzuki that cranks but not start , and no comm issue and but have proper ground and power on pins 4,6 , and 16 on the DLC . Also ECU is not grounding the control wire on the fuel pum relay control wire, therefore no power on fuel pump. However, I noticed igintion fuse that power fuel pump also powers the ecu and the spark plugs, that wire if I cut it from the fuse now the cut wire stilled attached to ecu shows ground. with a light test This supposed to be power but shows ground when disconned from the fuse does this mean there is a short in the ECU? Also the ECU is not grounding the control wire for fuel pump relay as I said. Would you say the ECU is shorted?

    I have a 2018 Chevy traverse when I’m in auto stop my stabili track light comes on sometimes my parking assist too and powder steering reduced service light too! But when I turn the car off they all go away. I got my ECM replaced less then a year ago. Could this be the problem? The ECM?

    What about rpm surge when clutch is in. My motorcycle has rpm surge when pulling the clutch and idle rpm is also higher than 2000. The service centre says their diagnosing software says faulty ECM.

    My cars lights on the dashboard kept turning on without a key, then my car wouldn’t turn off, I disconnected my whole Ignition switch, and after connecting the battery it still lights up, finally got a code that said short to ground 3/4 of the fuel injectors, and fuel pump is open, but Removing fuse #3 small red 10A turns computer off, does this sound like an ecm issue?

    Can a weak car battery get a po685 ? I have no symptoms other than occasional check engine light that comes on and clears on its own. I did scan and got the code po685 could it also be a faulty relay in the fuse box?

  • @johnbryan2414

    I have all those symptoms except starting. However, I have one that you didnt talk about. One day all my dash warning lights came on all at once then they went back off, except for the engine light. Then I noticed, while on the freeway, that my speedometer was not working, and while I looked at it, it shot back up to where it should have been (about 70 at the time) could this also be ecm?

    Man I’ve got a 2000 Lexus LS400. Guy I bought it from said it might need a new ECM. It’s been throwing a bunch of codes. I just replaced the knock sensors and the knock sensor harness, VVT Solenoids, and I’m about to replace the connectors for those too. But the CEL comes on and it’s the same damn codes. Could be a bad capacitor on the ECM right?

    I have a 2008 Ford Explorer 4x4 wheel drive 161000 miles on it. Basically, rebuilt the whole engine. Having trouble with the engine light and it's showing all 4 02 sensors bad I changed them all including the purge valve EGR valve air flow sensor I'm losing about a 100 miles a tank of gas. I rebuilt the whole engine all the Cam chains fresh tune up I did get a new ECM computer 2 years ago but that guy went out of business cause it was under warranty so now I gotta send it to some place to get rebuilt for 600 bucks. Other than losing fuel and the engine light staying on it, it runs and drives fine except for the gas.

I reset the ecm and then the truck started right up is my ecm bad? Its also throwing a code that my cat is bad but reset it and didn't get a code until today a week later but I had to reset the ecm to get it started so no idea if it was the same code or another. The truck wouldn't start until I reset the ecm. 1997 f150 4.6

    My 1994 Toyota Corolla started to stall & eventually unable to pull out my driveway without it turning off or just not warming up and all the lights turn out & cant rev , HOWEVER I let it sit for a month or 2 with unplugged wires & one day I turned it on and it took about 10-15min to warm up after that I could drive around but I didn’t go far just the neighborhood & gas station it’s weird cause I could not even drive before now she warms up n sounds decent , Should I still replace the ECM Module ?

    My car is 2015 Ford Fusion SE 2.5 L six speed automatic transmission. It’s sometimes will crank sometimes won’t. Also will die when I do start it. Could be ECM ? Weird thing is that only tire pressure fault light and steering wheel assist fault service required light will turn on. Also why do Auto Zone is able to read codes and OReillys doesn’t?

    Wow. My starter went out and my alternator was acting up, replaced both of them had no codes prior, but my idol was choppy and my car was stalling. Finally get it started again and it’s throwing p2195 and p0500 codes but I reconnected everything and I checked to make sure my mas was connected. Everything looks good. Probably going to take it for a tune up play stupid and see what they tell me cuz I don’t want to mess with the electrics of my car and I’m not jumping to conclusions about my ECM being bad

    My 99 Isuzu Rodeo 3.2L has been having several issues. 1. Hard shifting and it will not shift into overdrive. It actually seems to go back into 2nd when it should go into overdrive. I'm riding 2500-3000rpms going 50mph. It seems if I get up to 70mph and 3500rpms and hold it long enough something lets go finally and then rpms drop and the check transmission light starts flashing. 2. My Rodeo also has an issue with starting then immediately stalling. It used to be every other time I'd start it up. Now it's nearly every time except on cold starts. But warm starts are ridiculous. Occasionally it'll try to start without a single crank, but stalls. And then other times it cranks and cranks and cranks and still won't start until I give it some gas. On these starts the idle is up and down and up and down til it settles between 500 and 1000rpms. On occasion it'll stall out while idling but not driving. That's even on cold starts. It just does whatever it feels like. There's no vacuum leaks that I can find. There are no codes thrown for any of these issues. None. One person did have a scanner tool hooked up that showed a "pending" code for an O2 sensor failure. But now 3. My 4wheeldrive suddenly stopped working too. Doesn't engage, the light doesn't even come on when I hit the button. So do I have a damaged ECM or PCM? Is there a difference? I think my Rodeo's brain is called a PCM. Any suggestions would be fantastic. I'm about to drive this off a cliff with no insurance. That's how frustrated I'm getting.
