Funny,sometimes you wish and hope nothing expensive goes t..s up.and sometimes hope that for the sake of simplicity you do.Hopefully when Paul@SWZ sends me a PTU to try(as well as an ECU) I might have a CAR and not a heap of metal keeping the bike company in the garage. However the Datascan does give a code 21 when you try to start. Hope its not the wiring!!!!!:headvswal:headvswal:headvswal:D

Packs up,goes t..s up,dosen't work,breaks down,goes unservicable (goes u/s):D:D

 

Yep Dan that's what I mean.Whatever way you view it thanks, for the reply.I thought if they never break I might have a bigger problem.:confused::confused:

Was there any reason that you know of or did it just cease to work one day?:cry:

Code 21 is ignition signal fault, you say your going to try a different ecu?

Have you had your current ecu unplugged at any time and if so are you sure that the plug is re-seated firmly in the socket? this caused me no end of problems on my N/A. I kept getting code 21 and misfiring/ non starting.

After changing just about everything that was possibly at fault It turned out to be poor ECU connection, DOH!

it was a brand new series 2 ptu that i had awhile before plucking up the courage to relocate, and it was fine for about a week it worked one morning went back in afternnoon and nothing just turning over a petrol smell plugged in conzult and code 21 qiuck message to paul at swz couple things to check put old ptu back in and fired straight away and working fine since!:confused: so going try check the series2 ptu see if its the wiring harness or the ptu.

have seen quite a few fail recently guys !

 

Paul i'm not convinced they "FAIL" Mine shorted out I checked the wiring(the supplied harness for series 2)I think the fan blades at some point took a chunk out of the wire as two of them were bare and a couple of the strands were touching.Anyway as i've said in a reply below I will try the "mended"one tomorrow.:duffer:
