2605, Ecu Problem?
Posted by Camlin, May-31-01 02:09 AM
I have a 96 Eclipse N/T and I have a Ecu Problem.. I think?
My car starts fine and runs.. its just keeping it running for more than 30 minutes while driving. My check Engine light comes on after the car has been driven for 30 minutes or more, and about 3- 5 minutes after the check engine light comes on the car just Cuts off like its not getting any fuel and will not start until the car has cooled back down. But after it warms back up again the problem repeats. Ive taken it to the dealer a few times and they are dumbfounded. They keep telling me "Every thing that the ecu codes said was wrong with the car is working fine." Has anyone else had this problem, and if so do I have to replace my Ecu?

Had the same problem last year.... had to replace the ECU 3 times.... its an internal electrical problem, take it to an auto eletrician... Recently was having the problem again and it was the TPS sensor...

Could be the same problem Trish had, could also be the coolant temp sensor.
