Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a bit of advice on some trouble I'm having with my ECU.
Just for some background:
The car (1998 C2 manual) failed when motoring at high speed and would not restart. The car was recovered and the garage found the ECU was badly burnt out.
They then replaced it with another unit and that also over-heated while driving under load above around 3k RPM (fine at idle) and the same component on the ECU was damaged.
Looking at the images it shows the problem to be with the first transistor nearest to the connector.
I desperately need to know what that first transistor controls in the car as a fault there must be what is causing the unit to overheat and burn. We cannot put in another ECU and risk that being damaged.
Does anyone know or have any more specific information which may help identify the transistor in question? Or some thoughts on the issue more generally?
Thanks in advance for anyone who might be able to help.
Will
