Where to get an ECU repaired in Perth!?

[EldarO]

Due to the recent problems ive been having, that have slowly gotten worse and worse, and now, i cant drive my car anymore, im looking for a place in Perth that can repair it...

ill open it up when i get home (at tafe at the moment) and see if i can see any leaky caps or dry solder joints, but i doubt ill be able to see anything, and ill fix even less.

just after a place that i can drop it off, get it repaired, and pick it up day or week later, whatever. kind of urgent.

camrygt cant help me, my problem isnt leaky caps...

its a contact problem at the front of the ECU, at the plugs.

once plugged in, the motor will run like shit, i think on 4/5 cylinders.

if you LIFT the plug (push it upwards) the car rights itself and runs smoothly.

if you push the plug DOWN, it stalls.

ive taken it apart, and found a dry solder joint at the MAP sensor pin, which ive fixed, which fixed the main problem, but this is still here, i cant see any broken wires/pins etc. etc. and im at a loss of what to do.

resolder every pin on the offending plugs.. bit of heat and some good flux core solder.. should work... maybe..
just cos you can't see a problem doesn't mean the joint isn't cracked

no cracks in the PCB itself?

fixed the problem, it was the pin not contacting properly, cylinder number 5.

the problem wasnt inside the ECU though, it was on the plug side, a rather large chunk of plastic was jammed into the pin and causing it to not contact properly.

for the life of me, i dont know how it got in there!

although im glad this has happened, it fixed my intermittent problem with the MAP signal

Cheers to everyone
