well are you that bent on using the venom 400? does it really give you that much performance? if i were you id just take the whole thing out and say screw it. a new ecu will probably cost you ALOT from the dealer, so id just try and get it used.LiasLegend said:No I haven't taken it out yet. With it on my car is almost normal. I'm using it to get by until Saturday.
I did test my car by removing all of it's connections though.
I'm wondering how much with a dealer charge for a new ecu?
No, I'm not saying that at all. I won't use Venom after my car is fixed. However I have little choice until that happens. When Venom is turned off my car stalls constantly and struggles to get up to 40. When it's on my car is almost normal.Darkstar said:

well did you take the venom off completely? i know someone was mentioning something along the lines of if you leave the car idling for like 20mins the ECU will reset itself and the venom will work fine. i dont know EXACTLY what it said but it was something like that. have you tried calling venom? they might know of a way to fix the problem. you might also try contacting Bayou and see if they will sell you an original ecu.LiasLegend said:

You're probably right... I'm sure it will cost a lot from the dealer. At this point it might be worth it to have my car back in working order this Saturday versus waiting a few weeks or even longer for one to appear on ebay.
I was hoping someone might know the price of the top of there heads but I'll just give my dealer a call tomorrow and ask.
Yes, I did disconnect venom. I did try what ChrisK and Ben Hedrington suggested.Darkstar said:

Oops, sorry. I must have not been reading correctly. But anyway, check the online salvage places for the ECU as it will be much cheaper. Do you know anyone with a Legend in your area? mayeb you can do a swap to see if it fixes your problem.LiasLegend said:ChrisK - I must not be saying this correctly but I did disconnect Venom completely from my car and reset the ECU but the results did not change. Which is why Venom is still located in my car. If it worked then I would have taken the last step to completely uninstalling Venom and removed the magic box.
