and i personaly hate ecus in vechiles .. they suk


Hey Tiffany,

Electrical storms:  If you fear a lightning strike on your vehicle, which is extremely rare considering the number of lightning bolts and the number of automobiles on the roads, a direct lightning strike to your vehicle would most likely blows tires, fry wiring, and ignite the fuel tank – of course minus your deleted ECU.

Solar flares:  no real danger to us here on Earth.

EMP:  The chance of a nuclear war or attack on a major world city is possible, it’s not likely in the USA.   A nuclear blast that would cause an EMP powerful enough to damage your ECU-controlled vehicle would most likely destroy so much of the electrical grid and infrastructure, your vehicle would be the least of your concerns.

You concern for a potential extreme catastrophic event may be a real fear, but not a likely cause of your ECU-controlled engine failure.

But here’s some protection:

ECUs:  I agree the ECU and it’s required sensors are a pain in the arse to test, diagnose, replace, and buy.  I’d rather have my 1985 22R carb’d engine than my 1986 22RE with it’s ECU and sensors. :thumbs:
