aftermarket ecu,
Therefore the car isnt roadworthy (EPA) Write it off, and they CAN get out of paying :evil: <<<Hates insurance people
Well, not sure about the roadworthy laws where you are, but I will state the qld tpt guidlines for aftermarket ecu.
The ecu must have the same or more functionality as the factory ecu, all polution related equipment must be retained, stepper motor idle control, and all other functionality must be active. Also an emmissions test, CO reading must be done to fit within the original emission outputs of the vehicle.
I have written authorisation to use an Autronic ECU, from QLD TPT. Once the car is running, it is getting an emmissions test. Which I dare say will pass quite easily(past experience here), but now running sequential injection and CDI, plus a much better catalytic converter than was ever available when the vehicle was made.
