what can cause an ECU to pop fuses, im on my 3rd PR4 computer in 3 weeks

OnYx

are you killing the ECU's when they are blowing fuses? sounds like you have a short somewhere.

If you put an AFC on there.. check that. Check your grounds..

wanaracedave

It doesent have a AFC on there, but it kills the computer too is there a way to have them fixed

wanaracedave

also i have a LS swap and i only have problems with the PR4 ecu right now i have a HF computer in there it dosent give me any problems but the car is alot slower

TurboEF9

Uh, you're running 1.8l 16 valve engine from a 1.6l 8 valve ECU?

...PLEASE tell me you're joking. If you're not, your ringlands are praying that you ceaserunning the car until you get your ---- fixed.

wanaracedave

im only using that to get to work and back... why is somthing gonna happen

surfer

yes like try a lack of fuel causing your ---- to run leaner hotter and start pinging this is where it gets fun cause it'll go pop and then you wont just have a ECU poblem

TurboEF9

Correct.

You're not giving the motor the fuel it needs. Your cylinder temps are going to get too high, and you'll detonate. Exploding your ring lands, and you'll be investing in new pistons, rings, and a hone (at minimum).
