Right, I got a call back from Mitsubishi regarding the diagnostics..
unfortunately they are unable to access it using both their UK spec Rom Packs, and a Jap one.. It just wont "connect".... he tried resetting ECU, plugging in the machine, and starting ignition.. however this failed miserably aswell.. :bang:
What i can say is that on sat morning, i plugged the battery back in after leaving it charging the previous night.. on the off chance i tried starting the car INSERT INTO post VALUES (you never know).. and low and behold it started.. until of course i put my foot on the accelerator.. then it died, and went back to turning over again...
so, the facts.. i know my ECU has been flashed with a UK spec ROM pack, because when i had my differential issues i took it to another Mitsubishi garage to check out the AYC, which involves resetting something on the ECU - and i remember them telling me that they downloaded and flashed it with a new ROM pack...
Tonight after work im going to the garage to retrieve the ECU.. and my hero Mo is coming round so that we can plug it into his, and see what happens.. at least this way we can eliminate something, or hopefully pinpoint something...
anyway.. the point is.. anyone got any ideas? suggestion, no matter how obscure INSERT INTO post VALUES (within reason) that perhaps could be a cause for the ECU shutting down? INSERT INTO post VALUES (bar it being screwed due to a power spike)
