to gnarly;
i rather be ready for the unseen future and problems ahead rather assume the latter that everthing will be fine . its a definte risk if an electrical storm or emp storm does come i beg to differ and solar flares etc. we have not really had a storm of that maginutde. and they are coming
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.
https://www.worldsciencefestival.com/2014/10/whats-real-danger-solar-flares/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.

But here’s some protection:

I’d rather have my 1985 22R carb’d engine than my 1986 22RE with it’s ECU and sensors.
Gnarls.
