Yeah and a very fine soldering iron required to rework or you end up with man-made faults as well (don't ask how I know!).
All but one of the V8 ones I've seen were fixed that way, the last one is probably a man-made fault as the original fault is no longer evident but a new one is
Makes buying 2nd hand a risky business.

hummm.....

a chip could have been fried in the process if too much heat was applied.

I'll take a look at if you like who knows a fresh mind may spot something that you missed.

Yes they can, the Mines ECU I had was doing the same thing as Mikes. Got the caps replaced and it was fine. Contact Damian Ware, he should be able to do it for you.

thanks for the quick reply :-)

i am on the other side of the world though... Jamaica :-)

i am hoping i can pop it open tomorrow, see a bad capacitor, and just have a technician replace it.

think i might be that lucky?

Camron - Have a look at this thread http://soarercentral.com/sc-forum/messages/285/252586.html
It would be best to replace all five at once. Make sure you get a tech with good soldering skills.

done!

ok, i got all the caps except for the 13uf (used 13uf instead)

the technician took no time to change them

after re-installing though, same problem

i gave him back (starting to wonder if it was really the ecu) then he 'ran through' it once more going over all the solders on the circuit board

i then tried it a second time and it revved out smooth :-)

thanks a million guys, wish i took pics but i was at work.

big ups to soarercentral.com and thank you Jeff!
