   heyia , iv got a vts , it was running rough. this got worse until it wouldnt start. got it into a garage they said the ecu was knackard.
   
   what had happend, the person who had the car before had , had it chipped. and not resealed the ecu propley and it got damp.
   
   so i got a re com, unlocked ecu from lynx, fitted it the car started and ticked over well. but when you put your foot down black smoke comes out the back, feels down on power as well. i think its running rich tbh.
   
   i tuck the lamber out to clean it n it looked very coked up ,,this n the black smoke is what making me think the mix is wrong
   
   fault codes coming up are
   p0l327
   p055l
   pol70
   pol32
   po327
   
   its had a new ecu , new fuel pump, new crank sensor, and a new coil pack ..
   
   people have said it could be the ecu needs setting up for the car is this true,, because lynx who i got it off said it was a plug n play
   
   can someone help pleassssssssssssse

   You tried another unlocked ECU from a working Vts at all? I'd say that should be your next try

   I'd be surprised if the injector rail being loose caused it.
   
   The fact that when you changed the Ecu to the lynx one and it at least idled suggests it's Ecu related

   Quick question how do you know the Ecu is damp?
   
   My Ecu has packed up because of damp i think but cant see any obvious problems could you?

    I think you'll have to ask Lynx about it. I've never heard about 'setting up' a standard Ecu other than mapping one or coding up the keys to match the Ecu immobiliser codes

    Could try that (you need 100 posts to view the for sale thread, but it's an unlocked single plug ecu for sale which is working)
