Re: 7730 ESC Self Test- how does this work?

Cool. Don't mean to hijack. But, for a new ECM, did you have to replace the whole ECU? Is yours on the MEMCAL in the ECU?
Thanks, hope all is working good.

Re: Timing Was way advanced, now it's set right?

The engine fires right up and idles fine with the bypass unplugged! I checked the wires and they are good. So, I just read a code 42. My neighbor had a reader. Does that sound right? The EST system?
