Ack! I showed some guys my car last night and I had taken the ECU out earlier that day and shipped it off...As I was showing it to them I turned the key to the on position to show them the cool display and needles...Needless to say my curiously made me think, "I wonder if it will start without the computer?" Sure enough it did and I shut it right as quick as it turned on. I'm assuming this didn't hurt anything...does your car go into limp mode without an ECU? Anyone?<p>2000 Silver/Onyx 6spd, MTM/Eibach Springs, UUC SS, AWE Intake.
