Right,latest update.
Went out to start the vehicle this morning,turned over and nearly caught on the second rev,then took about 10 second of cranking to start.Which is a long time in cranking terms.Turning over fast.Started with the over-fuel smoke and then ran fine,no light,nada.
I was going to continuity test the EDC loom by taking the plug off,but 8V,you tell that the EDCecm has to be reset by testbook....is that just if it goes onto a different vehicle,to get it in synch?Or otherwise surely taking the battery off would bugger it.I take it from what you say that it is a synch issue and so long as I take the plug off mine and it goes back onto the same ecm then there will be no trouble.
The point to that is,since I have new sensors in the head and in manifold that had very badly melted wiring,I think there is an issue with the loom.I would like to put in fresh wire from the multiplug to the sensors,ideally.And fit a variable resistor pot in line at the same time to advance the timing if and when the new sensors or wiring fail.But that a side issue.
In essence....am I free to disconnect the EDC multiplug without any re-setting or testbook issues arising?Anyone?

Yes, so long as you disconnect the battery neg lead first. I always leave the keys in the ignition (turned off) before disconnecting the battery and have had no issues as a result.

Thanks mate.Now to get the non turning over issue on the other auto sorted so I can take this one off the road for a few days to actually DO the work !Out of three discos only one is drivable,and that only after the saga of starting the bugger!

Yes,you are fine to disconnect it,its a synching issue only when you fit a new ecu OR code up new keyfobs.
I dont even bother disconnecting the battery,even when doing SRS work,the systems are alot more tolerant than we a led to believe.Often disconnecting the battery causes more problems than it solves.
