Hi

My name is Malik from Houston, Texas. working on cars is my passion. in my spare time or my days off i work on my cars.

Recently working on 1998 Lexus GS400 having throttle issue. when i press the gas the car wont do anything until i hit the floor and it will pickup the accelerator. showed it to a diagnostic guy who advised to change the whole throttle body. i was arguing with him that throttle body itself i just a mechanical. The issue should be either in the sensors or ECM.

Kindly advise.

Maic, I have a '08 ford taurus (Ecm problems?) I've ordered a refurbished ecm from RockAuto. My plan is to replace mosfet(s) from new unit to repair old unit and avoid the need to reprogram the old ecm.

My hope is to be able to physically see the parts that are in need of replacement.

Any advice and or pointers would be appreciated.

Hello All, I am new to the forum and I am just starting out on a new venture here in the UK. I am looking to start my own buseness in repairing ECU's as part on retirement plan.

Hello my name is Phil and live in Miami FL. I have been working on cars as a hobby since I was 14 yrs old. I have been very interested in the GM ECU computer systems. I really got interested when diagnosing issues or figuring out system on my 1987 Buick Grand National. I would go to the library ( No Google at the time) to read up on what ever information I could find. I am hoping to expand and share my knowledge with this group.
