Hey guys well my soarer has been in the workshop for around a month now, getting some work and bugs fixed.

Well most people I've had take a look at my car were never able to help me with why it wouldn't start properly and as a result I had remote start installed.

Anyways long story short I drove it from Bandiana to Darwin and averaged 133km/h from the time I started to drive to the time i shut her off for the night, anyways time I got to Darwin it was using 17lt per 100kms.

Jason tried to do a sys check but never happened as car started fine with his testing kit on, but it stalled out and blew alot of fuel out the pipes when it started, also had the engine light come up.

Well anyways ECU went to some place in Melbourne and came back I haven't seen the list but the faults consist of some of these, will put full list up when I get the report

Ignition
Air/Fuel Ratios
Transmission
Speed Sensor
Intake Temp
Injector

So that was just a small list.

Might be easier/cheaper to just get a replacement ECU? They're not all that expensive i don't think..

Why?? The ecu was sent from Darwin worked on in Mel and back to Darwin in a week....
For $600 I know this ecu is not faulty at all.

Yeah all good :-)
Looked for another ecu but yeah this was the easiest option. Especially due to the fact that we know that this one is as good as new again :-)

It's been playing up for around 2 years HAHA so yeah will be interesting.
