    No, still trying to find someone with a Sync-Mate for a GEMS or other wizardry!

    I follow where pin 16 is, but a bit confused on the ground pin. Bottom row on the r/h black plug but which pin?

    Does anyone know what needs to be done to reprogramme / sync a replacement engine ECU ? Would a Navocom or sync mate do it? Anyone in my area have one?

    P38A Engine turns over but not starting

    OK, soldered a piece of alarm wire in between two points on the circuit board, but still will not start!! Just cranks over fine at a good speed, only pulses Once on initial turn over. Tried a Snap-on computer on it, which only shows 2 faults- 1 when the maf was disconnected, the other being a...

    If I have to get another engine ecu, will it need reprogramming? if so does anyone know how to do it?

    P38A Engine turns over but not starting

    I'm going to look for some alarm wire & solder that in place, then refit without the old maf connected to see if it tries to start, hopefully that should show if I'm getting more than ONE pulse of the injectors. Don't want to connect the existing maf in case it is faulty & tries to short the ecu...

    Hi Johnyb, I have nor opened up the ECU didnt smell burnt, but found a track that does not look good, I have attached images which I hope you can see. the track is the outer one in the bottom left corner when the connections are at the bottom. You say solder a bridge wire, is this on the circuit...

    Thanks for all your info johnyb70, good to know jag ones are the same. It did have a new unbranded maf a short while ago. I will also have a sniff of the ecu to see if it smells burnt. Is this the one behind the battery??

    Struggling to find a genuine one. Is there a difference between the 4.0 & 4.6 maf ? Mines is 4.0 gems petrol.

    A big thank you to Dave for coming round with his laptop. I've had a look for the old genuine MAF but it must of got throw out! So now looking for a genuine 4.0 GEMS MAF. Once started on brake cleaner, it was running VERY rich & black, we did reconnect the maf back in to the hoses etc, but made...

    When cranking the engine there is only ONE pulse to the injectors, then nothing whilst continuing to crank. Battery is good with a good turnover speed.

    I do get fuel from the rail valve, but will go Wammers tests later today to see exactly whats flowing. Cheers.

    P38A Engine turns over but not starting

    I borrowed OBD reader, it only showed 2 faults relating to the MAF, these most likely occurred when I disconnected it. Cleared faults, but still did not start, faults did not re occur. I should of said when I did get it running, the lightest pressure on the gas stopped the engine, but if you...
