  1. Hey guys, Thanks for the info, mega helpful, I have wired the lamps up to the button now which activates both the front and rear fog lamps and makes the car very noticeable on the road with the main headlights down during the day. Awesome stuff, greatly appreciated.
  2. Hi guys, Hopefully someone can help me. I have a 1988 Starion widebody with the larger euro-spec fog lights in the bumper. The foglight button on the instrument cluster isn't wired up, the foglights themselves only activate when the headlights are switched to high-beam, regardless of weather the foglight button is pressed or not. What am I looking at in terms of difficulty for wiring up those fog-lights so that they activate solely when the foglight button is activated? The park-lights (which are part of the same unit) light up when the park-light button is switched on - so hopefully the wiring is there and can easily be utilised. Also, I am after amber lightbulbs for both the headlights and foglights too if anyone knows where to get those. Thanks!
  3. Hi guys, hopefully I am in the right area for asking for some help. Finally got my ECU back from the chip guy, plugged it in - and... no joy. Engine wont fire up. Car = 1988 WB Starion 4G63T with 82,000k's Upgrade = chipped ecu from SuperChips Problem = Car is in showroom condition (which makes this issue more stressful) and was starting up and driving wonderfully before chipping - since re-installing the chipped ECU the car will not fire up. Pre surgery = disconnected battery (pos first), removed ECU, wrapped up battery terminals. Post surgery = reconnected ECU (double checked plugs correctly seated) then reconnected battery (negative first etc) Symptoms = starter motor cranks motor over furiously like a 16yo schoolgirl pulling on a.. erm.. wrench. But no ignition. Engine doesn't explode to life like a low kilometre 4G63 should (as it did before removing factory ECU) Control measures investigated: All fuses okay. Connected the Evo3 Chariot (daily driver) to jump the Starion. Checked for spark from ignition system - lots of energy flowing everywhere. All instruments light up and gauges sweep etc. I need help from anyone familiar with Mitsubishi, Starions, chipped ECUs, etc. Please help - any tips or information will be greatly appreciated - If it comes to it I am happy to have the ECU chipped back to it's factory chip but any other constructive ideas or information would be preferred. If some kind soul could temporarily supply me with a working Starion ECU to troubleshoot my car with I would be in your debt. Hope to hear from someone soon. Kind regards, Bonehead.
