hi
i put a el motor in my ea...but not wen its cold i drive along and it hits a bumb and the trans drops all gears and the cluster like cuts out(i think.. the power button flashes and the lights flicker on it)...so wats wrong with it if anybody knos?...also how u tell if the power steering presure switch in broken?...
gus

sort of sounds like you ecu is loose

cound be but shouldnt...hmm ill go have a look wen i get home

Make sure the earth wire is attached properly at the ECU while your at it.

Could also be the plug that goes into the side of the box if its not in correctly i just had one on the way to Townsville play up on a AU after hitting a bump and all i had to do was push the plug in properly and problem fixed so give it ago and see if it helps?

yea i cant tell if the plug is in properly on the tranmission...so ill give that a try too... also was thinking is ea series 2 cfi ecu pinouts different majorly to el pinouts?
thanks guys....

Well if it works until you hit a bump then its probably not the pinouts being different. Just sounds like somethings loose.

I have the same thing with my car and it was because of a faulty J3 chip. Same thing as what you've described - power light flashing on and off (and sometimes just staying off in my case) and transmission jumping into limp home mode (which I think is probably happening to you, rather than loosing all gears). Its basically the ECU switching jumping from being on and then into LHM and back again because of an error or loose connection.

Try the plugs on the gearbox - make sure they're clean because any bit of s**t and gunk can play with the connection.
