While my husband was at work, I thought I could figure out how to run the codes on our 1991 non turbo conv. Since it would not flash on the wire that I though was the one to read from...... I just kinda jumped around.... I blew something, the wire got warmish and now the Check engine light does not come on at all.... AND she wont start now either, I gotta fix it before 5 tonight anyone have any ideas? I grounded a black/white wire that was in a connector that was near the battery. it was a white connector that has like 10 connections but only had 4 wires actually connected to it ..... Help me what did I blow I checked the fuses inside the car and under the hood.... they r good.....

 

ecu.

 

are they cheap to buy? where is it.. c what does it look like?

 

Convertible? nah, they're pretty rare... but i'm sure the helpful people of this forum will be able to help ya out go to the classifieds.

 

its under the passenger carpet where their feet rest. It looks like a square silver box.

 

Check all your fuses before you replace the ECU.

 

Sounds like you did some damage.

What part of Alabama are you from?

I may have an ECU to sell you (if that is what you need).

 

my advice is to cook your husband's favorite meal, slip into something sexy, and then tell him about the car. lol

I f*&% up all the time.

 

The voice of experience says:
First tell the truth, then ask for forgiveness.
Next check the fuses.
Next borrow a test ECU.

 

first check all fuses. Then, more than likely youll need an ecu. the convertibles run an n353, which is mapped for nonturbo (the stock convertible) as well as turbo. You can, however, run a stock 89-91 nonturbo coupe n351 ecu with no side effects; apparently mazda just wanted to put one ecu into all 'verts, and since theyre turbo in japan, they made the 353 to run both turbo and nonturbo engines.

I have several 351s if you find out you need it. hypntyz@charter.net

 

hey thanks everyone , I am in Centre Alabama, Is that close to Helena? I think 4 sure it is the ECU it has little burn spots on one of the computer boards.. Right now I am fixing him "steak and baked potatoes", have the sexy nightie on..hopefully I can keep him out of the garage for a couple days...Ya think he will notice the ECU in pieces on the kitchen table ..?

 

Could you send us some pictures?
:-)

 

Centre, AL near Leesburg? I have relatives near there.

Helena is just south of Birmingham.

Yea he will notice. Don't hide it, if you actually did fry the ECU that is major damage.

 

She pulls & opens the ECU... I'm impressed.

Anyway - good luck.
Kevin has good spares..

 

Our address is actually Leesburg too, but we live up in Sandrock.. Is it OK to ask you about the ECU on this place, or should I E mail u to ask about it?

 

I looked and I don't have an ECU that you can use. Your best bet is to get one from hypntyz7.

 

Don't forget to give us a report to let us know how things came out!

 

will do..... I called him he said he had a good 351 or two .....gotta call him back.... and get it....... Thanks all

 

We're still looking for those pics of um........ the ecu?
