Hello...I just picked up a 1989 Daihatsu Charade with the 1 litre 3-cylinder here in Seattle. It's in great shape...except that it doesn't run, no spark. I got a new ECU for it, but the question is: Where is it located? And if that don't fix it, then I figure I got 3 other issues at hand: Bad coil, bad power transistor or bad distributor. They hardly have any Daihatsus of any breed here, and the parts support is horrid here, so all I've got to go by is you kind folks (Sorry about the arse-kissing...I just need a running car!). I got this car for US$200. Previous owner tells me his mechanic told him "The starter coil is shot". Hogwash; No such thing. American mechanics are an...interesting...breed. I can bring just about any car back to life, and mostly do that with Nissan Sentras (Sunnys). Anyway, thanks for any help you can provide.
ECU LOCATION.
Hi,
its located under the dash above the glove box.
What does it do when you turn the key??
Try to list more detail, it could be 101 things causing it.
Regards,
Dave.
