Subject:'87 ECU problem resolved
From:Neil Wigley

Hi Volks,

I was the one with the '87 Westy that ran funny (some hesitation,
power loss). Sent the ECU to Darrell for his magic, got it back,
things seemed okay, but my FLAM insisted something was still wrong
because his scope determined eight cylinders.

Rather, his scope said that my ECU was sending signals for an eight
cylinder engine. Something like that.

Well I recently drove from San Diego to Seattle at 70+, and it ran
flawlessly. Why, on the passes it almost seemed like it had eight
cylinders!

Thanks to all who responded. By and large the listmembers were right,
the mechanic was, well, unright.
