Default Glow element burning when powered up

Rhino 200 SP installing on T-45. In setting up the radio I discovered smoke coming from the tailpipe and inlet.. Engine case got warm on right side, The radio set-up was incomplete and I shut it all down. I then remmoved the engine from the airplane and powered it up again while looking up the tail pipe. The glow element was extremely bright. No radio command or anything was given. As soon as you plug in the ECU battery the glow comes on. Went to the Glow Test screen, pluged the ECU back in and tried to tun it off.... No luck. Stays on anytime the ECU Batt. is plugged in... I am thinking the ECU is bad, any other thought ?? Frustrated and trying to finish up for Kentucky...

Thanks,
Dan Massey

Juan,

I have already talked to him, He said we could fix it at Kentucky Jets thinking it was just the ECU... There is not time to send it to him and get it back before I leave. Is it possible to make the repair at the event ?? I really appreciate your response, let me know what I need to do...

Thanks !!!,
Dan
