Just a little history. I had the check engine light come on and pulled the codes last year. It turned out to be the intake flap. Earlier this year I bit the bullet and replaced the part. All seemed well for a few days, when the light came back on. Fast forward a few months and I had the car in for timing belt etc at a local indy shop. They replaced the intake flap again and noted that after you shut the car off that it was making a loud clicking noise. Ordered another new part believing that they had received a duff one. The new part did the same thing. Finally after some digging they determined that the ecu is putting out a dirty signal to the intake flap causing it to make the clicking noise and ultimately self destruct.
The present conclusion is that the ecu is faulty and needs to be replaced.
Has any one encountered something like this?
If the ecu is in fact bad can a used one be aquired and installed (are codes needed from the donor car etc..)
Has anyone had any experience with places that fix ecu's?
Thanks in advance for any input.
