In most cases the ECU can be repaired.
You can send it to Rapair www.rapair.com (http://www.www.rapair.com)
IE: CDI Electronics
I suggest you send it to Tony Brucato

Did you put the chip in upside down?

i reinstalled the old chip(a49) for breaking in the engine . i put the chip in so the notches line up . which is upside down.
Do you have a picture of the EFI box with the cover off. If the chip gets installed upside down it kills the chip but the box will will be fine. It almost sounds like they soldered the scocket in upside down. No injectors firing sounds like the chip is not working. I can check the chips for you for free before you spend money on the EFI box if you like. I could also check the box if need be.
static charge can also kill the chip

the first box i have i got the engine to start with an a65 chip but it drops right off. i put the a65 chip in the second efi box and the engine ran,only problem is the a65 is for a 56 pound reg i have 39 regulator.so i put the a48 chip in the second box and it started but dropped right off . the a49 chip doesnt run in either box , the a65 only worked in the second box ,and the other chips only started up then droped off . so i put the anolog box on for now ,in run fine with the analog box . i would like for you to check my stuff out for me $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$????????????????????????????thanks glenn

The analog harness will work on the digital boxes. Some people short two of the TPI wires but either way it will run.

which wires maybee i will try this out before sending out my stuff.
have a good holiday weekend.
Connect the blue and orange wires on the TPI plug together. Not doing this will not stop it from running.

Coin boy the digital ecu uses a internal tps/map sensor and the anolog uses a external tps,witch is what the blu/org wires conect to .With those wires open in the harness it runs at full rich when use the digital box and anolog harness.
you should have the digital harness on your engine.if not i do have a spare harness if you need it.

turned out my ecus were good (thanks us1) and i changed out the switch boxes and plugs and the engine is now running , i still believe that it is still not all the way up on power!!!!!! maybbe the stator , engine doesnt go over 7k..................
and today it was dieing down to 5k and only went up to 6200 , fuel pressure is good i installed a gauge today 39 psi all the time .
i still hit 86 mph but after 1/2 to 3/4 throttle there is very little power , maybee a smaller prop is what the 260 needs.
