GeneralDisorder Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Under the drivers kick panel. And yes the carb does sometimes have the ECU if it's a CA model especially. Does your "ECM" light come on? Probably got some bad sensors - I'll just throw out there" coolant temp sensor, and almost certainly the manifold pressure sensor.

MilesFox Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 there is a "fuel pump control unit" a small black box under the dasn soewhere near the fuse panel. there is no ecu like in fuel inj models if you have a check engine lite, egr lite, what have it may be, this coeson every so any thousand miles by a switch in the odometer. this does not indicate a problem, it coes oon to remind the egr to be serviced there are a pair of black leads under the dash to reset the light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 You may have not seen one of these yet miles - but trust me, EA82's did come with Feedback carbs in CA, and possibly other places. I happen to own one, and there are plenty of them in the yards around here. It's a more complex system than the EA81 feedback, and there is at least one sensor - the manifold pressure sensor - that I have been unable to locate a working replacement for. I shudder to think what it would cost from the dealer, and it is definately not repairable... I took one apart and it's a mess inside. Not just electronics, but some sort of viscous gel as well. Very interesting. I did away with the whole mess yesterday actually - put on a Weber. MUCH better power, and no more weird vacuum solenionds and ECS lights. The computer is still turning on the ECS light on me, but that will go away when I pull the computer out. The thing would run alright, but randomely the idle would drop and engine would die. Would have to give it a bit of gas to keep it running. But it would only happen when the ECU decided to change something - probably a flaky sensor - O2's will do that. Who knows tho. And I drive about 200 miles a day. If you need an EA82 feedback ECU - I've got one. It's never going back on my car, so you can have it for free if you like.
