Re:aww fuck that burns.....socketed my ECU...
do yourself a favor and get the butane iron from RatShack for 19.99, a couple spare tips and some tinning compound for the tip. Not only does this thing rock-ass because it can also be used as a mini-blowtorch for heat shrink etc, it becomes invaluable for in-car and on the road wiring repairs!

Re:aww fuck that burns.....socketed my ECU...
you should work for radio shack or at leat get commission because I think you just sold me a butane soldering iron.

Re:aww fuck that burns.....socketed my ECU...
What is all this talk?!
I can socket an OBD0 ECU in about 30 minutes using nothing more than a $5 soldering iron and $2 desoldering braid from RadioShack. No burns, no cuts, no explosions. ;D Just keep practicing, hf, you'll get better and faster. |

Re:aww fuck that burns.....socketed my ECU...
I just hit up radio shack and got a butane soldering iron, some of that tin stuff, a desoldering braid and most of the crap needed for joseph davis's homemade afc, let's see how it does.

Re:aww fuck that burns.....socketed my ECU...
Radio Shack has this desoldering vacuum device thing for less than $20. It should work decent. Better than your heating method. Go there and explain your situation. They'll be able to recommend you the right one.

Re:aww fuck that burns.....socketed my ECU...
the people at the radio shack here don't know ----. I went and asked the guy about a 5k ohm potentiometer and he looked at me like I had said too big of a word for him. I need to find a 5kohm potentiometer to complete my home made afc (as per joseph davis instructions) and I don't know if I can use the one without the legs for the board, anybody in here know?

Re:aww fuck that burns.....socketed my ECU...

Re:aww fuck that burns.....socketed my ECU...
they like to ask me if I need help when I walk in, and as soon as I say "it's going on my car" they immediatly tell me that they don't carry automotive stuff and that they don't have it, then I go and find what I needed on my own and they smile and say "did you find everything you were looking for" when I check out. Sometimes I feel like stealing everything, but I don't.
