That'll be the anti theft kicking in. If you can find a '96 one, you'll be fine.

Hi
In case any one wanted to hear the outcome: I did send my ECU to a company in the states. it cost about £20 to send it, it cost $124.95 about £80 to mend it, it cost $65.00 about £45 for them to send it back, and a further £40 to customs and parcel force to deliver it this side of the pond. I put it back in the Cherry and all is well, runs sweet again. I am very chuffed it is now sorted and back on the road and now my wife has to give me back my car! (as the Cherry is her car). At last we are back to two cars. Now my only concern is that if there is a fault in the wiring that the auto electrician never located I suppose it could go again. But fingers crossed it was just a faulty component in the ECU.
Thanks again for all your suggestions and help, it is much appreciated

I wonder if they have the right to charge you import duties as the part was sent to the states for repair. I think I would give them a phone call and see if you ca claim that back.

that may be a longwinded but good point worth a few hoop jumping

Hi
Thought you may like to know, I am back to square one again!!!!!! started Jeep this morning and check engine light came back on and missfire resumed. you know thats a lot of money down the drain  So, tomorrow I am going to undo the wiring loom until I get in in a big mess!!!! if I don't find the cause I think that will be the end of my Cherry. I ain't a bottomless pit. I have already spent out on a auto electrician who checked all the wiring. Seems to me there must be excessive strain on a component in the ECU as it managed about 70 miles before it went again. I will tell you how I get on but I don't hold out much hope. I think I may end up breaking for spares or selling as non runner as I might get something for the sequential gas conversion fitted to it. Just Taxed it & MOT'd it too!!! Does my head in!
