It all started mid week , with the Stelvio sounding decidedly unwell.
Off on the LH Cylinder , she was running fine earlier in the week.
After initial investigations , Starting with Spark plug , it moved to LH injector swapped them
around , and still off on the LH cyclinder , Checked the injection & Engine start Relays , boith clean and
healthy connections.
I just happend to have a Volt meter to hand , so i check the inputs to the Injectiors , LH injector was
showing 1.2A , RHS was showing 1.9.
Continued on my search , To the ECU , , removed the Front Plug , all clean and lovely ,
checked the second plug ,,,, OMG ,,,, Blue Goo ,
It had to be this , i have never seen an electrical connection so bad in my life , it really was a blue goo.
After a Lot of awkardness and a few choice words , i had the fairing off and the ECU in my hand
the pins ad actually coroded away ! ! one of the pins is stuck inside the plug itself , i have no idea how i am
going to get this out !
The Bike is a 10 registered machine with 12K miles . The ECU is a Magneti Marelli IAW 5AM
the same {physical unit is used in a fiat punto.
What are my options on this ,, is it likely it could be repaired ?
How do i get the pin out of the plug ?
why did this happen to me
