Message	noticed this while I had it apart. I will clean up the black burnt resin and resolder it in case the solder cracked from the heat. My only concern is, will this diode continue to get hot like this, or will it be OK??? -"Chains baby, chains.......Z will grip like a champ.

Then fire that mother up, rev it to at least 5000 rpm and then stick your finger into the hole on the back of the turbo. If the turbine grinds your finger down, then your turbo is working. If your finger gets ground off farther than the second knuckle, then your turbos are good for at least another 60k miles! Don't forget to check both sides." -I am Z-ing Double -"The world's two biggest mysteries: The meaning of life and fitting the Howe radiator into the Z..." -Seedyrom, circa 2000

There are many other diodes - Borg79(ON) 12:50:29 03/21/04 I know it seems unlikely, but... - Marshall 13:40:30 03/21/04 diodes dont break down when hooked up backwards... - halik 12:56:24 03/21/04 They do have a reverse break-down voltage. - SooperZ95 13:03:32 03/21/04 Well i am not having any problems with the ECU, I just - Borg79(ON) 13:10:25 03/21/04 Except diode breakdown is not normally destructive provided - therin (Plum) 13:55:11 03/21/04 The structual damage is a mere result of electrical failure. - SooperZ95 14:15:16 03/21/04 Do you think it will be OK though?? ANOTHER Thing, - Borg79(ON) 15:06:46 03/21/04 Wrong. They do break down. - Marshall 13:26:45 03/21/04 yeah, i'm having a problem at work with powersupplys - Halo Z 13:40:54 03/21/04 that sucks... (n/m) - Marshall 13:47:13 03/21/04 yeah, OE was a 380 volt rating. the crap they got was 23v. - Halo Z 19:47:37 03/21/04 I've never hot swapped the ECU :( (n/m) - Borg79(ON) 12:49:20 03/21/04 Looks like a couple of parts - therin (Plum) 13:33:41 03/21/04 it's a diode (n/m) - Halo Z 13:37:27 03/21/04 Hmm, at second look, I don't know if it's a diode or not. - Marshall 13:50:14 03/21/04 Re: Hmm, at second look, I don't know if it's a diode or not. - therin (Plum) 13:55:48 03/21/04 Trust me dudes, it IS a diode. (n/m) - SooperZ95 13:58:44 03/21/04 Did you read my post?? - therin (Plum) 14:02:08 03/21/04 What is questionable?The ONLY bad part on the PCB is a diode (n/m) - SooperZ95 14:06:01 03/21/04 Uhh so the two melted resisitors in the second picture - Musashi Sword 17:34:51 03/21/04 They aren't resistors, they are the leads of the diode! - SooperZ95 19:22:16 03/21/04 ok i see how it is now those two legs looked like - Musashi Sword 20:29:38 03/21/04 I think that's just the backside of the board. - Marshall 19:23:51 03/21/04 you're right. - Marshall 14:10:48 03/21/04 It is a diode, it says D102 under it not R (n/m) - Borg79(ON) 13:57:20 03/21/04 *shrugs* Ask Ash I supose, hes the ECU guru (n/m) - BooZted (Soon supercharged) 15:01:14 03/21/04 Don't even bother .. get another ECU - PLEAZURE in CA (SD) 15:09:06 03/21/04 Re: Installing a new EPROM in my ECU and look why I saw :( - Cosmik Debris 15:24:19 03/21/04 Way too large soldering iron=household laundry iron? :p (n/m) - NC_Z 19:05:16 03/21/04 Send it to me..
