Car is down. start it up this morning & it randomly dies within 30 seconds. try re-cranking it- no start.
Jump out & look under the hood for anything suspicious - get back in & try a 2nd time. dead within a 5 second count.
as of now it feels like the ECU took a ****. completely clueless otherwise........ time to check my piggy bank & see if theres enough for standalone---Has ClubProtege helped you in someway? show your support by Contributing--- Click Here---

If you want a full stand alone ecu, I'd go with either Hydra Nemesis, or a stand alone system called Vi-Pec. (I just found out about it, and it's pretty nice. Vi-Pec actually plugs right in according to their website. Also, Vi-Pec has quite a few cool features, such as Quick Tune, where it tunes the air fuel ratio itself, instead of having you tune for it. And traction control in first gear, and antilag, and launch control, and flatshift. And it fits inside of the stock ecu case, so it looks like it belongs. It's website is: http://www.vi-pec.com/ecus/pluginecu)
Edit, lol, we both posted at the same time.
Also, just found a place that carries the Vi-Pec. http://johnreedracing.com/mazda/90-9...vipec-v44-pnp/Last edited by Racerboy; 06-15-2012, 10:15 AM.My family has lots of bg's!

^ funny guy.
called over my local friend recent new owner of a 323.
Tested his b6 ecu. initially no spark from his ecu- so i tested another ignitor & saw spark. plugged back in my ignitor & had spark again. (strange- never in all of my BG years have i seen an ignitor issue)
Needless to say i put a different ignitor in & seemingly haven't had an issue. Im about to try & drive to work so my fingers are crossed---Has ClubProtege helped you in someway? show your support by Contributing--- Click Here---

drove it a few miles & the same issue. Wound up getting towed home
im leaning heavily towards the disty or ECU being @ fault.
its definitely intermittent spark.

if your burning thru ignitors and or have intermittent spark id investigate all your grounds and the disty. the ECU has internal current limiting so you reeeaaally need to juice them to fry it. also the opt-amp input circuits on the ecu board for crank and cam signals is pretty bulletproof and if either would fail it would be a hard failure not intermittent and there would be blue smoke/ burns on the baord."Discontent is the first necessity of progress."

I hear ya shawn. I have serious Doubt its the ignitor. & certainly not the coil.
I've already half pulled the ecu out. I'll be cracking it open as soon as its out.
Im just taking a break from it for the moment. (sometimes its good to walk away for awhile & come back after a breather)
Im thinking pickup signal from the disty is barely hanging on anymore. thankfully i still have the hall effect disty laying about-i'll test that first & if the problem is cured.
I'll swap the internal components on the optical & see where that gets me.---Has ClubProtege helped you in someway? show your support by Contributing--- Click Here---

yes the haltech is around the same cost. but there appears to be more options & capability with the haltech.
shortly wiring isn't a big issue for me.---Has ClubProtege helped you in someway? show your support by Contributing--- Click Here---

Such intermittent problems are bitch to figure out... How much of the wiring did you redo? A loose crimp or bad solder is liable to cause no end to problems. It took a good while to iron out the problems in my wagon. Faulty crank angle sensor wiring will throw the ECU out of sync. If you can inspect the wiring with some sort of recording multimeter, you might be able to spot if the problem is somewhere in the wiring. Checking out the electronics will be much more difficult.
