FAIL

[ssmokerjoe]

and what is the point of the fail ? and yeah thanks for your 2 cents keep up the good work

I can only assume that the "Fail" refers to your original post that was lacking in puncuation making it VERY hard to read.

Let's see if I hav ethis correct:Car runs like crud you try swapping a SOHC ECU into your DOHC and it runs good. You think bad ECU so you get another one. It does the same thing.

I am not an expert at all but I always thought you needed a DOHC harness when you do the swap because the DOHC has things like a knock sensor etc that the SOHC does not have.

I would check that you have the correct harness for your engine. Also use the search and check the SOHC to DOHC swap write-ups. Check the steps they say to do and verify they were all properly done.

Hope that helps.
