Hi All,
I have a 2002 zx2 5-speed.
The car recently would cut off going down the road. No check engine light and at first I could restart the car quickly. I put on a new coil, plugs, wires and fuel filter. None of that helped and as months went on... my car did not want to start for several turns. Finally (which I think is a good thing) the car wouldn't start in my driveway. The check engine light came on but when I hook my code reader to it... the code reader will not link up to the car (it has in the past many times with no problem)... sooo I'm now thinking the ecu has been the problem all along and maybe it finally just died.
I have a used ecu(NGPO) that I have been keeping on the shelf for a while and I bought it with no chip. I went to put it in today and noticed my current ecu(LXQ2) has a "superchips" which is pretty neat. My question to you is will the superchips work with the eu that I want to put in my car(NGPO)?
I didn't want to install it before I find out if it is safe to put in my car so any thoughts you can offer are most appreciated.
Thanks,
Kirk
