this is one sexy ecu tester *pix*
i work at radio shack...made the ecu tester in couple hours of doing other things, just spare time type of thing....i think it looks a lot better, about the size of a 9 volt alkaline battery, will be stored more easily, and will be easier to hold and manage while testing than just two leds with leads.
just used a small project box, 2 12V LED assemblies, copper hook-up wire, 1/4 female quick-disconnect terminals.
ya yea, here's the pics:
next time i think ill do the soldering/heat shrinking on the inside of the box.
http://home.rmci.net/panther/86_88ecu.htm is where you can find the CODE meanings, more detailed instructions, the simple way to wire it, and more info
if you want a tutorial and cheap *** tricks to doing it my was, just ask and ill post

Wow NZ, that's damn nice! I'd love to do that while I am in the middle of my "let's see what else I can yank out/replace/upgrade" during this T2 conversion I am in the middle of, lol. Guess I will have to search the forum and get a good writeup of that (heard about something like that somewhere once, but can't remember where). Looks great though, and perfect spot.
Oh, and nice job on making that tester

The ECU has a built-in self-diagnosis function that reports problems by outputting numeric codes. Click the link up the top for the full story.

There's no need to spend money on a box to mount the lights. Before I installed them in the car, I used a 35mm film canister.
