Aristo Blitz ECU will not start, Need Help...

["that boy asad"]

I recently purchased a 2JZ-GTE Aristo Blitz Access ECU, tried it last night on my friend's car... which has an aristo swap and runs perfectly fine - we plugged in the blitz, but it wouldn't even start?!?!?! (relay did have power going to the ECU and had no check engine light)

It goes without say, but the first thing I would be doing is testing the ECU in a working Aristo (i know that'll be tricky if you don't know anyone) Eliminating the ECU itself being faulty is a pretty logical first step. I can't see why it wouldn't run if you have a factory ECU in the conversion running fine. FYI, I swapped a Mines ECU into my 2J'd MZ20 Soarer with no issues.

It is however common for these ECUs to start having issues with leaking capacitors and what not. So yeah, I'd try testing it in another car first.

2nd logical thing to check is that all the pins are in good condition, i.e. no bent or snapped ones

All the pins are good, the two cars i tested on had aristo motors... one of them already was running a blitz access aristo ecu

Did it run in either of the cars?

does your car run with the factory ecu? Check the B+ on your harness be sure your getting 12v to the ecu, here is the pin out

sounds like a dead ECU to me. If the cars run and you swap the ECU and they stop running....

the ecu was getting power

yeah, it sucks

anyone want to buy a non-working blitz access ecu?

It may just need a cap replacement some reference info fyi (yer i know they are 1jz specific)

I don't wanna buy one, but if you wanna give it up I might be able to send it to an electrical engineer friend and see if it's something that can be duplicated, etc.

If, I am able to duplicate it, I'd have one made for you. *shrug* Just a thought

I have already talked to Aaron @ Driftmotion, he can't fix it but he didn't mind me sending it in for him to look at it...
