Bad ECU maybe?? 200 85

posted by  someone claiming to be Alan Anderson on  Thu May 31 09:54 CST 2001 [RELATED]

My 85 240 Turbo has suddenly went on strike and has refused to start. :0(

From what I have checked, it is a fuel delivery problem. There is plenty of fuel coming out at after the filter, but nothing goes to the injectors. When I start the car, it spits and sputters for a second or two, then quickly dies. Kinda like it was firing on 1 or 2 cylinders. I think it is just the cold-start injector providing alittle dab of fuel to get things going. I have taken off the CIS (Constant Idle System) hose at the Cold Start injector to verify this, and yes, there is fuel there. Just no fuel at the other injectors. I was wondering if a bad ECU would cause this.

Thanks for any help!!
