Going for the ECU upgrade/OMP disable, need advice please.
Alrighty guys, I have done some research and the conclusion that I have come to is as follows; I am going to order this part http://www.pocketlogger.com/index.ph...1&ecu=S5NA#mop
for my 1990 5spd RX7 GxL and this should completely eliminate limp mode due to the MOP failure. I am an electronics technicain with great soldering skills, so I dont forsee an issue with the physical chip swap.
My plan is to leave the pump exactly as it is (dead but still hooked up and mounted) but I am going to go with the premix at every fillup option.
My question is, CAN I leave the OMP installed? Or do I NEED to take it out and install the block off plate?
Thanks for any input.

i also went with a rtek chip when i damaged my omp. But i went with a block off kit since you still want to remove the lines and clean it up. its only like under $40 for a clean kit, and a hour pulling the manifold to mount everything.
you could probably leave it, unplug it, and cap off the lines for short term, but id do everything for long term.

To answer your question, they did remove the OMP function code out of the rtek chips.

Cool, I think I am just going to unplug it from the harness and leave it installed for now. If I have issues with it, Ill block it off. Ill let you guys know. I have another car that I drive to work, so it is going to be a week or so till I can order/install the Rtek, but I will let you guys know what happens.

Additionally, If I was at Pocketlogger and a fried ECU came in, I wouldn't touch it...
OTOH, several guys have replaced the fried parts and restored functionality. A repaired ECU would be able to be Rtek'd just fine.

I wouldn't count on that. The code is removed, but with circuits fried, there is no real way to know if the ECU will work when it comes back.

Yeah, see... my ECU is fine. Its just my OMP that is bad. I took the ECU apart and checked all the ICs for physical damage, and checked the resistors and diodes with a meter. All the people who have the ECU issue have burned up spots on the board, and since I didn't have that, I just double checked. I guess another way to check it is to clear the code by resetting it, and then if the code stays cleared, you're good to go. If you clear it and you still get the flashes.... something may have burned up in the ECU. I don't want to pay 1500 for a new OMP and I don't want to spend 100 on one that "may" work for a little while. I am looking for a long term fix, and I think what has been discussed here should do the trick.
