Think so. It's the little black plastic thing on the top of the gearbox I think...

i'd guess the chip mate, its recently come to my attention that the chips require a base board aswell to run, andy fielder has more info from when he tried to copy my chip, give him a pm and have a chat as i dont fully understand what is going on, but he had a look at my ecu at fcs and seemed to think he knew why

hmm thats not good to hear coops. i shall pm.


Ecu was at fault. my mistake as to injectors firing, it was just the 5th injector, which flooded my inlet :oops:


managed to get it running today with a williams ECU. (cheers Summeh)
