How to Tell If You Have a Faulty ECU

The ECU, or engine control unit, keeps a vehicle’s engine running properly. The ECU controls a car’s fuel and ignition systems, which affect fuel injection, the air/fuel ratio, the fuel pump, ignition timing, idle speed, valve lift timing, and more. When any part of the ECU starts to malfunction, you may notice problems with the performance of your vehicle.

If you notice problems with an automatic transition or getting your vehicle to start or stay on, an auto technician will be able to locate the exact problem. My Auto Solutions has experienced technicians that specialize in ECU repair. Located in Buford, Georgia, we provide high quality repairs and remanufactured parts to the metro Atlanta area.
