Hey guys, thanks to my subscribers, please correct the connections as follows, pin 6 on the ecu goes to pin 14 on the obd, pin5 on the ecu goes to pin 6 on the obd, and add a ground connection to pin 4 on the obd port .. Cheers
I think you forgot to mention you need pin 4 at OBD as well to be connected to the ground which is "chassis ground" in order to work properly. I follow your instruction and never worked and then I read about the OBD wiring diagram and now it works perfectly. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
Ok, great video but I’m unsure what wires to connect to from my junk yard ecu/ecm plug and harness. Pics only ever show from the male pins not the female plug with all the wiring 🤷🏻♂️
hello i am following your set up ,in your video you said connect both 6 together. On the ECU number 6 is can low on the obd connector 6 is can high, should it be 5 pin ecu can high and 6 on the OBD connector can high , YOU WILL HAVE CAN HIGH AND LOW CONNECTED TOGETHER , please can you check thanks shaun
Tell u the truth, its been a while since ive done that, so give it a try as instructed the video, and if it doesn’t work then flip them, it wouldn’t hurt anything . Note that, i forgot to mention in the video, that pin4 in the obd plug should be connected to ground as well. Good luck

@@TheFlyingMechanicDIY No dude, you assume wrong! You have zero information on making that adapter. The picture you linked only shows the ECU plug. There is nothing on where to connect it to that ODB connector thing you buy from amazon. If you want to help make a detailed explanation on this please. Everyone is asking for the same thing. How to make that desktop adaptor. Thx
@@TheFlyingMechanicDIY You're right. Mine chewed one up and spit it out after less than 4,000 miles (6,500 km). Prices were 3 times higher than last year.
I've seen a couple of video's of the ecu kit to raise and use a heatproof plate but quite expensive. I spent £5 on ebay for some T6 anti vibration damper mounts, and just lifted my ecu up from contact manifold heat sorce which lets air pass underneath better too. So hopefully less heat into ecu and less vibration = longer lasting.
Hey i was wondering, if you clone an ECU that works as it should, would it be possible to start the car on both ECU's? So you can have an ECU with a stock map on, and an ECU with a remap on?

Check the big grey connector underneath the battery (connector # H24-2). Make sure no corrosion, damage, all pins are sitting at normal height and are tight. If that checks ok, swap relay #4 on the small fuse box in-front of the battery, if that doesnt resolve P1682 then replace engine computer. Inspect throttle body for any damage, excessive dirt or binding, if it checks ok in addition to the check made at first step, replace Throttle body . Cheers
