Hey, first run of the day, P80 v4 ecu ran great, started fine, was fine. Then later, went and turned on the power, and it kept spooling up the starter as it thought it was hot, screen showed 450*c+ and it was so cool you could hold onto it. Reading were erratic, jumping around.. Any thoughts? Later on after shutting it off for a while, it was fine again, and started and ran good again...

Any thoughts?

I would say bad EGT probe. K type thermocouple show very high temps on most failures.

Check with the shop to make sure, they sell the probes as spares, good to have one in any case

On June 1st we will be up and running. The new phone number and address will be listed then. (The phone company still doesn't have our phones working right yet!!!!) Right now, it is just me and a couple contractors finishing the inside of the building. I only have time to answer a couple of emails at 6:00AM.

I am sure you just need sensors and we have them in stock but I can't do anything about it until Tuesday.

No luck here either. I called and got the new number, but when I called it a guy answered and said BGW. There not changing their name also right?

What number are you dialing?
