- Sat May 15, 2010 7:56 pm #194465 I just bought a new O2 sensor and the car still does the same thing. I even unhooked the battery unplugged the fuse and unplugged the ecu and plugged it all back in, but when my check engine light comes on and I try to diagnose it the check engine light just shuts off, but then I unplug it then it turns on again any idea? the car sputters into gear still I replaced just about everything.

- Sat May 15, 2010 9:36 pm #194499 maybe try plugging in another ECU??



feel like i've heard thats what happens when its the ECU but, could be totally wrong.. got any friends with EG's in good running shape that would let you try their ECU?

- Sat May 15, 2010 10:57 pm #194521 I did bring it to a mechanic and said I needed a new ECU then I bought an ECU off craigslist for $80, My old one had a fried piece in it. This new ECU is a P28 but does look a little different and not sure why the cover said OBD1 DOHC on it. I have a d16z6, maybe wrong ECU?
