apexi power fc djetro repair??/

[gtrjon]

so i was having issues with cylinder 4 not firing. so i tackeled the problem today. i swapped out for a new coil pack and still no spark, i then swapped out plugs still no spark, i then swapped out the ignitor still no spark, i then swapped out the coil park harness and the cylinder still wont fawking spark! the only other thing i could think of was my ecu. im running a pfc djetro that i picked up brand new sealed in the box. i went and my buddy let me borrow his powerfc djetro and bam spark! so my ecu is fawked the driver isnt firing in cylinder number 4. so since i bought my ecu private sale and not through a authorized dealer im assuming theres no warranty through apexi but im going to give them a call tom anyway. but what im wondering if anyone knows where i can take my powerfc to get it repaired? its not really the cost of the ecu that is that important even though i dont wana spend another thousand dollars but i am more concerned about losing the maps that i have saved on the ecu! someone help me!

save the maps to your computer via datalogit

yea but then im still stuck spending a grand on another ecu. im trying to find a repair route first before looking into grabbing another box

my buddy fixed his own.... there is a common issue with a particular diode/capacitor/resistor (not sure which) that it quite easy to sort out

any electronics guy could fix it..... especially since you know where the problem is.

if the transistor isnt switching the ground for your #4 coil than he can just follow that back to the brain (motherboard) and check everything on the way..... i bet even a electronics/tv repair guy could do it

yea thats what ive read on a few other forums i dont really know any good electronic shops around tho and i dunno how many shops would be brave enough to tackle it lol. im wondering if anyone knows a shop i can mail it out to and have them look at it
