ECU help

[kingkilburn]

Can any one give me some advice for getting the screws out of the top and bottom of the ECU? I am trying to read my codes and have been unable to remove them. Is there an easer way to get to the back of the ECU?

Thanks for any advice.

wow you cant get the screws off? Im suprised you got the ECU out then

[kingkilburn]

I can't get to the screws to get it out. I got the kick panel off, but don't have any thing small enough to get the screws out.

I also don't need sarcasm and flaming.

Use an appropriately sized screw driver. Press down, firmly. Unscrew.

[kingkilburn]

If you can find me an inch and a half long screw driver that would be great.

Ok.. smart ass a little?

Per diem your response, i now think you are trying to unbolt the ECU from the body of the car? IS that correct? If this is so, use a 10mm socket and ratchet.

[kingkilburn]

Thanks. Thats a lot more helpful. Now i can see whats up with my car.

[johngriff]

well, there are lots of bolts on the ecu, so i had no idea which ones you were speaking of.

[kingkilburn]

Well the 10mm sockets don't seem to be what I'm looking for but i will try again in the morning when i can see. I will also try to write a better disription of what I am looking for.

use a flashlight?

i don't recall what screws/bolts or what not, but it's beyond simple

after screws/bolts (only couple of them), just wiggle it out, super super easy

I'm trying to get to the screws that are on the top and bottom, in the front. my problem is that i can't seem to get to them with any thing. I don't have any stubie screw drivers but even that seems to long.

wow. Ok if your wrenchs arnt long enough you try using an extension? After you take the bolts off you just turn the ecu 180° to see the back of ecu. You dont need to pull the whole thing out.

[kingkilburn]

thanks zugoi. i think thats what john griff was trying to tell me but i was not getting it.
will try that first thing in the morning. to busy now.
