VR ute ecu identification help ?

[Immortality]

Sorry I just bought it and I don't know if it did or not . There is no kick down cable to throttle body at all. This vehicle was a v6 column shift auto originally. There is some crappy cut and shut done to the engine loom to original body loom that freaks me out a bit, I did find a local with a vr 5.0 auto engine loom and matching ecu I was nearly thinking of getting , that would with any luck fix two issues but now I'm not sure if it would be compatible .

Well that is weird as I don't think the 808 can control an electronic trans in any way.

Is there a table that lists ecu to auto type and 5 litre series specifically ?

There is, if you go to the PCM hacking forum there is a program you download call Memcal ID tool, it lists all known tunes and ECU/PCM numbers.

You might want to post the photo's of that ECU and Memcal there as there might be someone there who recognises that hardware and branding.

I didn't think the V6 auto would go on a V8, especially column shift?

Can you elaborate on that a bit more ?

It's shifted gears ok on the way home from one end of town to the other , about 10-12 kms . Nothing weird shifting wise, just runs crappy , not constant miss or anything , just tons of fuel . I will get it on a hoist at some stage and be able to identify the trans then I guess. She seems to be a bit of a miss mash , wish I new more about it's history . I will get on pcm hacking though as you suggest and see what I can find out .
Thanks again .

There are some variations in the trans. AFAIK there were no column V8s because of something to do with the shifter on the lower end not being suitable for a V8. It may be possible to make it work, which if you have a column auto someone has done a fair amount of engineering to make it work as it should.

Cool thanks for that . I'm hoping that there isn't anything too far from be a good usable setup trans shifter wise under this thing when I get a look at it shortly .
