ecu need for 1993 nissan 240sx.
computer for automatic transmission.
what ? do you want them ?
perhaps posting in the right section, IE: “want to buy” might help
Scibbles, don’t you work for mssc? Nice customer service. His car is at you shop right now. Thats your customer that you guys can’t fix his auto tranny for months. Good job :roll:
hey scribbles, u got any auto comps at MSSC? try help this guy out, hes havin a rough time finding auto comps…i had tons, threw em out into trash earlier this year…
steve- good luck, im sure u will find one here…
I might, and how exactly would I know this guy has been looking for a part for months. Lots of info up there.
I’m commenting on the post not his problems. Lack of info, wrong section.
On behalf of my customer service, it’s fine. I’ll help people out whenever, those who know me know I’ll bend over backwards for a customer or friend.
Kenny (red s13) smacked his carr off a curb a messed up his control arms front and rear on the passenger side, I took parts off my in progress sil80 to fix his, no charge nothing. He’s got a full set of energy bushings on the side that took me a good week to put in.
So when people ask appropriatly, and actually form a statement that makes sence, and provide information. I’ll do it.
up there, looks like a knube post with no info. So I will treat it as such.
Your a parts replacer not a mechanic or you would have had his tranny fixed a while ago. You work on your customers cars in a small shop and don’t know the guys name? I could easly tell his user name is the same and his name in real life and I only met him like 2-3times… you met him how many??
Oh, Steve, right, look I’ve got a lot of crap to deal with, both in my personal life, and with MSSC. I can’t always remember the names of everyone I meet.
but there’s nothing MSSC hasn’t already done for that trans. we’ve replaced the harness, the sensor and computer and have had no luck. I’ve had all of my guys, the people from Neetronics, and a Cert mechainc look at it with no solutions.
Sorry, I’m pretty sure the computers we have at MSSC have already been tried on that car with no success.
yea, i told steve today that i felt he has a short in the harness somewhere, i dontsee how a faulty tranny ecu can stop the car from going from 2nd -3rd only…
Weird/hard problem to diagnose, but trying another auto module wont hurt anyone…
I suspect a sensor, or a short somewhere thats not sensing the correct voltage…
has anyone verified that the tranny itself isnt fucked?
a 2/3 misshift sounds like its internal if EVERYTHING else has been checked

Apperently the first thing they did was put a tranny in it and it does the same thing.
I looked at this car and we replaced the TCU with my working one nothing…thats after the replaced the transmission. He had TWO tranny harness plugs on the harness so there has been plenty of mucking around with the car before he bought it. We tried many things to get the thing to shift but it doesnt.
Maybe its time to swap the harness out.
Whats funny is all this time wasted trying to make this auto work he could have had a manual in there already but he didnt want to.
As for Scribbles commenting on the post…look at the way it was written, he had every right, customer or no customer.
So why don’t you guys pull out the FSM and your multimeter and do some proper diag? This tranny does shift only at redline right?
I, personally, was called to the job and did exactly that. But if you were to be apprised enough to actually read what has been posted above, you would find that, as KoukiS14 said, this car has had some serious “mucking around” with in the harness department.
It was quite obvious to me that this car had some serious issues with the transmission long ago, which were partially remedied by someone splicing in pieces of a new harness. As you might imagine, this makes simple multimeter continuity testing (or “proper diagnostics” as you call it) quite difficult, as continuity can no longer be assumed. It’s quite difficult to tell where the harness has been spliced in and where it simply leads to dead ends. Now, we could always rip the whole harness out and “parts swap” a new one in, since according to you that’s all these guys are good at, but that would be both foolhardy and ludicrously expensive.
So I ask you (smurf6x6) a few things in cander:
Firstly, who are you? Who gave you the knowledge or the wisdom to make judgement calls on a matter you clearly know little (at best) about. Listening to someone talk about how to fix something does not construe knowledge thereof; and while the ability to both shit-talk and surmise ideas remains universal, the ability to think objectively in these matters becomes something of an ellusive art. In laimens terms, you are not as smart, or as capable as you seem to think you are, and thereby have no right to call shots on someone who is.
Secondly, why do you feel the need to trash talk James or anyone from MSSC when all they did was try to help? Did they hurt you in some way? Have they done anything to offend you?
Finally, I take the mode of your comments to suggest that you believe you might perhaps have a better solution. If this is so, why haven’t you done some “proper diag.” of your own. Moreover, why is Steve still looking for a solution in the form of a TCU, which has already been tried, if he has your enlightened erudition to employ?
I understand that you feel the need to antagonize here because someone, somewhere told you the way this car needs to be fixed, but your comments here are neither welcome, nor needed; nor is it doing anyone any good to pick fights with those who are trying to help.
Take your diatribe to someone who’s stupid enough to be taken in by your ignorance. In the meantime, quit antagonizing people.
keep it clean ladies.
clearly it seems the problem keeps coming back to the fact the harness may ave been hackjobbed… so that seems to be waht to concentrate on.
and really… if the tranny and tcu have been looked at and both are in good shape… that basicly only leaves the harness that controls it.

Correct sir.
See, the predicament here is not how to fix the problem – we figured that out (it’s the harness!) – but how much it would cost, and whether that’s reasonable. IMO it’s WAY too much money to be spending to fix an automatic transmission in a 16+ year old car. It’d be faster and MUCH cheaper to simply put a manual in.
Nothing is impossible. It’s just a question of how expensive it is, and whether the car is worth the expense.
I can think of a couple sensor off the top head that causes the problem. Most common is the TPS. It gets a flat spot and gives a incorrect reading to the tcm. I’m pretty sure we could have it fixed at nissan, If you would like to book it in? I wouldn’t say I no little about the problem at hand. The only thing I don’t get and why commenting is people bring the car to a shop to be fix. Just drop it off, pick it up and pay. Yes you get the car thats a pain in ass or gets you stumped once and awhile. The lenght of time etc this is taken it just seems like you guys are just playing a guessing game by now. I asked scribbles what exactly did you guy do, cause I was willing to help. I get no response.
If you replaced the tranny, tcm, continuity tested the harness and checked voltages and didn’t find the problem. The problem I have here is you claim to continuity test the harness and checked the signals say everything came out fine and now you say the harness is the problem when you claimed to check it. Testing the harness will lead you to a sensor of the harness its self, me and you both know that so why BS.
part it
tps is narrowband, it has nothing to do with the tranny. you work at nissan?
you comment on our customer service?
we tried everything possible, tried to do it as quickly as possible, had different people try to diagnose the problem, and came up with the conclusion that the harness was the issue.
not only that, but we only charged for the tranny swap. THAT’S IT. we gave the guy a break and didn’t charge him for the hours we spent troubleshooting because it was for steve. and had we done so, it wouldn’t have been cheap by any means.
so before you comment to show people how clever you are, think before you speak and knock on people who don’t deserve that shit.
and oh, don’t quit your day job.
thanks.
Umm… assclown the tcm get a signal from the TPS to know when to shift. Look in the FSM the tcm has a pin for the TPS sensor. Depending on how much gas you give it depends on where it shifts. Quit your dayjob.
