Hi All,
Just put in a xr6 ecu the car ran great for a week. Now the car has a flat spot on acceleration this happens more in the morning. Has any one got any ideas what could be the problem?

Plug your old ECU in and run it for a few days, just to confirm it is/isn't coincidental with the ECU change.
