well i gave up and took the woo to an autoshop to get it diagnosed. in the begining they quoted me 120, now its a little higher becaust they spent 2 hrs.. on it and it might be my aftermarket stereo componets. if its that im gonna be soo pissed.

Wow ! weird !

Let us know what the "final answer is" ok ?
I am curious as to how stereo system can throw CEL that was related to intake problems, right ?

What are they telling you ? grounding issues ?

dude.... what on earth are you talking about ???.... your subject is random.... and the post seems as if it is a continuation from another post

Are you drunk?

Just imagine if I came onto the forum here and inserted a new post with the subject

"might not know if they know that I know that they don't know what's going on"

I looked at the dash but my car doesn't work... I think the bulb might be malfunctioning.... apparently my brakes are fine.... but the engine still doesn't want to start..... they quoted me 15 minutes but they've spent 12 hours... hopefully my speakers are fine.... I'm going to be mad if I go through all this and it doesn't work because they know I don't know and want to charge me for everything.

Would you not come on here and think "what the hell is this guy rambling on about ?? "

Anyways....... please ensure that your posts have some usefull purpose..... at this point nobody could comment or help you unless they have specific knowledge of the issue.

Yes, it is a continuation from quite a few other posts relating to CEL on his Lanos. There is no post sequence on zero's part.
I have been trying to help with questions that if he answered I might be able to suggest an action he could try/take.
But no, his responses are confusing statements like this last post.

Sorry zerosilence and I hope your communication skills will soon improve.

People do wanna help you.
P.S. I don't think your drunk !

well.... it's 2:19am and I'm drunk... but my communication skills seem to be intact somewhat.... I figured I'd come on here and see what's going on and try to work off some of my "room spin"

So....... back to the subject...... do you have a reference to the previous post on his CEL that you could link so that we can understand where he's coming from ??

Man.... typing drunk is hard..... every second word comes out wrong and I have to retype it...oh well

ok you dont have to be knocking about the way i was"rambling" ok. i was just informing you guys on the issue. any yes it is about my car throwing a CEL. i really dont think that the stereo is the problem. i think it might be the fuel. they said that something is runing down the battery because when i first took it there they had to jump start it. they also said that it keeps restarting it self at night. im not sure what that means. i was telling him about my spark plugs when i changed them what they looked like. but i guess ill find out on monday hpoefully whats happening. oh and the code was p0112. and it only showed that once, just fyi.

ok i talked to the shop yesterday and they said that my car's battery kept dying and after about a few hours after that happened the ecm reset itself, so they couldnt get an accurate reading. but they called later on that day and said that its the door ajar sencer it kept lighting up even when the doors and hatch were shut. they think the problem with my car is the ecm and i might need to replace it. what doi you think?

if it is the ECU. if you have an auto i have a spare one you can get for cheap. let me know. but to me if its just your door ajar sensor then it shouldn't have anything to do with your ECU in most cases. if anything ask them to take out the lightbulb and see if it still drains the battery.

i wont find out til tuesday about the car. i did run in to the guy at walmart today and he was saying that they wernt able to get an accurate dyagnostic because of the car reseting itself. but so far im up to about 240 in labor. if its the ecu/ecm how much will you sell yours for? and whats the difference between an ecu or ecm or are they both the same

lanos2001 · Post by **lanos2001** » Tue Sep 04, 2007 12:22 am

ecu is the same as an ecm. just different names. Electronic Control Module or Electronic Control Unit. i'll PM you on the price.
