Try a different ECU.

what code comes up?

well my aldl cable has stopped working on my car for some reason, however, a couple of days ago i was getting code 51 for PROM error

is it possibly that somewhere in the car's diagnosic line there's a fault that makes it think the wires for limp home are connected?

......damn loose connector

Stocky,

Is that good or Bad?
Good that you found it
Bad that it happened, might happen again. What caused it?

[stocky]

its a good thing. means i dont need a new computer. one of the two plugs on the bottom of the ecu mustve had a loose wire, or having trouble connecting. took the ecu out, checked the wires, plugged it back in, reset everything and my problems were gone

im still getting the engine light popping on and off sometimes when driving, so ill give it an error code check tomorrow
