I'd like to run my stock ECU with no metering oil pump.

Is there some easy way to 'trick' the ECU into thinking the MOP is there and working?

Is there a way to disable the part of the ECU that send the 'check engine' alarm?

Will I have to upgrade/replace my ECU?

 

im pretty sure u can leave it pluged in and just tuck it off to the side somewhere. u might be able to put a resistor or something in place of it but im not sure about that

 

While I do still have the MOP in the car, I can't plug it in because it fried my last computer - and if it's faulty, it's still going to trip my computer warning light.

We're talking about a ten pin wiring harness here. I assume something can be built to plug into it instead of the MOP.

Has anyone done this?
Or, is there an easier way?

 

the ONLY 2 things you can do are
1) tuck it over to the side
2) maybe have the ecu reprogrammed to not have the diagnistics???

couldn't u just buy a used OMP? i see them for sale pretty cheap on here and the partstrader

 

I've found a MOP for a decent price, but the install is a bitch. About $900 worth at a reputable shop.

What is everyone else without a MOP doing?????

 

Hi FD Seeker,

$900 bucks for an install? That seems extremely, extremely expensive. You can reach it from the bottom of your car with a couple of extensions - there are three 10mm bolts and you will probably want to replace the eliptical gasket. The hardest part is rerouting the lines for the harness - becareful not to snap the hard oil lines. Goodluck - Tommy
