[QUOTE="Insured By Mafia, post: 730912, member: 25747"] Hello Sifus. Recent History, - Ran over flood. The rest were history. Replaced a whole engine of M54B22 (chopshop) - After engine replacement, RPM kept fluctuating. Suspected MAF. Switched a working MAF from another car. No difference. Replaced Throttle Body (chopshop). Better now but still RPM fluctuats on n off. Mech said Throttle body will take time to get used to the engine. 3 weeks now, RPM is still unstable. - [SIZE=12px][I]Less than a month after engine replacement.. [/I][/SIZE] 1 fine day, Engine shutdown automatically while warming up. Couldn't start up after that. Crank is absolutely normal. Towed to workshop, diagnostic tool couldn't communicate with ECU. Suspected ECU failure. - Replaced ECU (some ECU specialist managed to break the immobilizer and re-code it..as per my Mech). - Car was fine when collected. but seemed everything is way far from over............................................ Current Issue, The next day after the ECU replacement, the Golden Triangle appeared. Below are the 3 Error Codes as per X431 LAUNCH diagnostic tool; i) 76 - Plausibility, signal 1,engine throttle to air-mass flow sensor ii) 5E14 - CAN connection t DME/DDE (DSC lamp on until ignition reset) iii) 5E19 - CAN data fault from DME/DDE (DSC lamp on as long as error is present) Now, my mechanic is saying its some ECU related wiring problem. Can someone shed some light please? Honestly, I'm tired visiting the workshop day in day out. My boss is tired too listening to my same lame excuse to go back early. The $ i spent on this car for repair jobs alone to-date is already nearing the value of the car itself that i bought 3 years ago. Yet, i havent give up. too passionately in love with this car. I badly want him to be back on feet as healthy as before. [/QUOTE]
