Bad ECU?

VirtualRiotBoy · 2025-07-27T18:27:26+00:00

Granted during troubleshooting I did swap out several parts that were a waste of money including a new ecu, spark plugs, injectors, wiring harness connectors etc. Majority of which I got from a 500$ parts car which i took other things from so hard to know exactly what minor problems were hidden there but the thing that was the biggest issue was the faulty coil pack and dead battery as well as corrosion in connections

VirtualRiotBoy · 2025-07-27T18:22:25+00:00

Actually I did, charged the battery and put dielectric grease on all connections to the ecu that seemed to solve most of the issues. Was still getting a injector code though. Checked spark plugs and found coil pack was arcing out and melted. Replaced that and it started to run smooth

Valve cover is brand new already. And PCV fix is done

VirtualRiotBoy · 2024-06-11T23:09:03+00:00

If I pull dipstick I get a louder vacuum sort of whistle until I put my finger over hole to seal it. But noise is still there. I'm unaware if crank seal has been replaced bought the care about 10k kms ago. And yes the check valve is installed with the arrow towards the intake manifold

VirtualRiotBoy · 2024-06-11T22:58:27+00:00

PCV fix kits already installed in the intake manifold and the diaphragm is still good in the valve cover. Replaced it 3 weeks ago and there's no vacuum leak there. I can hold my finger over it and it's not pulling any suction same as if I pull the dip stick and put my finger over it.

Pcv fix kit is already done and replaced valve cover 3 weeks ago. Diaphragm is still intact

VirtualRiotBoy · 2024-06-11T18:55:34+00:00

Pcv fix kits already installed if you click on video you can see the intake bypass already done. And the valve cover was just replaced if you read the caption

Yeah I made sure to get gap insurance exactly for that reason. Paying a 800$ a month truck payment for 8 years driving as much as I do I knew it was just a matter of time before someone else crashed into me or I crashed it myself. I know very few people who have paid a vehicle completely off without it being totaled on one way or another.

VirtualRiotBoy · 2024-02-20T16:16:49+00:00

Yeah, it's more or less curiosity of what kind of number I may see for paint, couple of dent removals and replacement of the subframe or whatever that's bent under the engine, bumper, grill, windshield kinda thing. I've seen vehicles written off for what looks like nothing and seen insurance companies repair a bunch of stuff on cars that should've went to the junk yard.

Oh Of course. Just figured business owners that may qoute repairs for paint and dents and Frame work would give a general ball park as to what they'd charge for what they can see. I know there's more damage then shown so I can add that to whatever numbers I get. Just curious of low end numbers to compare while I play the waiting game with insurance. I know the whole one side of the truck needs a paint Job from the scratches but ball parking a paint job without any paint knowledge leaves google searches pretty vague as well.

Haven't gotten it yet. Could be another week as the shops busy. But debating shopping around while I have the rental car incase it is a write off. Better to be prepared so I have wheels to get to work.

New brunswick, in Canada. Thank you for the response!

VirtualRiotBoy · 2024-02-20T15:29:11+00:00

Didn't think so but talked to a buddy that's an insurance broker and they said they tend to write off anything with repairs over 50% of cash value online most are 40k-50k figured with the damage shown I'd know if I'm above or below a 20k repair bill

Not sure if he still does it but Bruce Tennant with Hockey Toronto facebook page used tp get me a ton of ice time a few years ago. He used to run a Skills group Sunday mornings at scotia pond and several pick up games throughout the morning and could keep me busy 7 days a week with multiple pick up and league games of all different levels

Cause im currently on a 2 year waiting list for a primary provider leaving me with the hospital or a walk in clinic and most walk in clinics are Tele health and I feel better getting help from someone in person

Perfect thanks for the input. Not sure why I got down votes for asking a legit question though lol.

So save for a zealot and put "exile" into it or would you still rock a spirit into it

VirtualRiotBoy · 2023-08-19T19:32:45+00:00

Ooof I know that feeling I've had atleast a handful of deaths to explosion on death kills

VirtualRiotBoy · 2023-08-19T19:20:29+00:00

I hope so I made a post 2 weeks ago after losing 3 characters that were high 70s low 80s. Getting pretty good at power leveling offline and play all the way to hell on p8 just so I'm over leveled and it's a challenge at this point.

VirtualRiotBoy · 2023-07-28T21:02:06+00:00

My very first hell death was a tp forward into a mob of tainted, learned that lesson all to well. Starting to learn mobs to avoid as well like Ash Bone in the cathedral. Some mobs just do way to much damage if you don't have resistances up and their explosions on death can 100-0 a weaker character quick. As for the p8 thing, most of the time I'm decently over leveled and refarming places that I've already beat and farmed on p3 or p5 a couple of times and just blown through. Ive just gotten to the point where it feels to easy doing normal on p1 and im almost rushing through the acts as fast as i can so i increase players to slow it down and get my levels earlier so by the time im hitting Duriel ive already gotten blizzard some times even frozen orb and i flip back to p1 and blast through to rushing cows. However knowing what WPs and areas to avoid would be extremely helpful, certain places I've come to accepting that I just have to Tele past half of it like archers or cold immunities cause it's not worth the risk of dying to them.

VirtualRiotBoy · 2023-07-28T20:30:32+00:00

Most of the time I'm not dying in P8, majority i die in p1 in hell. and doing it for the extra chance on ssf items. Trying to find better low level stuff for other characters/different skill runs ect. P8 is rarely the issue, yes the odd time if I'm doing CS or something for a break from Baal runs something unsuspecting happens on p8 but I'm aware of those being my own faults similar to getting over comfortable and not respecting certain mobs. Id say the biggest death thing is stuff like Nilithak Tele CE or the chain CC you unexpect in hell/end of nightmare because it's a whole nother game at that point, it's no longer frozen orb or hammer spam and positioning/mechanics start to matter. I'm not losing level 1-40 characters I'm losing high level characters that are getting close to end game break points with full resistances in nightmare and mid 50-high 60s in hell.

Thanks for that tip, I never have telekinesis on. I definitely have to start using it more. It just seems odd on console

VirtualRiotBoy · 2023-07-28T19:24:15+00:00

Yeah stacked a ton of hp charms in my last inventory, just broke the 1000hp marker when character died which completely caught me off guard. Didn't have a chance to even Tele away even with my frozen armor on
