Remember I was talking ECU's

Bearings? OK I have seen bearings fail, but then they were caused by wet starts caused by...............incorrect ECU settings.

Oh, and not only on RAM's either.

There's always an answer. And not always the one you want to hear, or prepared to listen to.

Sure I had problems with the old (air-start) ECU's being "noisy" over here, on 35MHZ, but once that was sorted they were, and still are,fine.

As to the Remote starts I can honestly say that out of 35 engines I sold with Auto start, only one of them had any problems that I could attribute to a fault, when an O ring came off the starter and was eagerly eaten by the compressor. The starters were made by a third party at that time. Production of these eventually went in-house, and I never had, or heard of any others.

Of the three ECU's that I had returned as faulty, two of them had parameters set that would have started a Rolls-Royce Olympus. When reset to the correct numbers, they worked fine. And the engines survived the assault on them.

The other one, had been modified by the customer, before he had even tested it, following "advice" he had gleaned from RCU and other forums, from all the "experts"out there.

Again, once it was reverted to standard, it worked just fine, and still does.

Another customer has asked for his RAM ECU's for both his engines to be upgraded and returned, to replace his FADEC units.

I wonder why?

Charmed life? Or just prepared to sit down and read the manual a few times in order to "fully understand" as suggested in the early pages.

Not trying to start a battle. Just levelling up the battlefield a little.
