What car you talking about? Is it a vy l67 in a hilux body?
If so, maybe you have wiring issue?
I imagine the ecu has vats disabled.

Yea the mechankc was saying tye wiring is dodgy in it, what ya reacon i should do mate?

If i get a new delco, from the same motor will it help? If had people offer me theres

TBH probably unlikely. While it's not impossible they fail, it's pretty uncommon. It also likely won't work because anti-theft will be a problem when you swap the ECU, either because the BCM from the donor is also in the car, or because your current ECU has VATS has been disabled. If your mechanic is saying the wiring is dodgy you should start there by seeing if it's rubbed through anywhere on the loom or there are places where it's shorting.

It's using the Commodore auto yeah?

Are you sure it's a VY ECU? Usually people go down the path of using a VS one when they do an Ecotec conversion, plus if it's a legit VY L67 ECU it'll have a memcal. Post up the details about what's on the sticker on the ECU, won't make a difference but may make it easier to trouble shoot.

The car hasnt been stalling in a while been driving flat out for 2 days had no stuttering or stalling, the ecu is not bolted to the floor, and my mate said that it could be causing it to stall. Im going to stick it on the floor properky tomorrow and get it recalibrated might fix it idk. What yall think??

Probably just a loose wire somewhere or crank angle sensor on its way out they die when they get hot and then come back to life after cooling down

Hmm could be possible, ill see if i can get a auto sparky to look thru it or somethin like that.

Yeah, looks to be legit. Would sort out your wiring first though, would be good to see what kind of codes you're getting though.
