Simon motorsports review
Building a modified 3 liter Merc for my 25CC Fountain. Started out as an '03 EFI, and has ended up much like an X motor. Borrowed the ECU off my 300x stoker motor for initial testing, runs at least as good as expected. Simons did the stroker ECU for me a couple years back. Sent the stock EFI ECU to Simons in the meantime for a reflash. They call me when it was recieved. I can only talk to the secretary, No Eric, not the person doing the programming. They must be really busy these days. I understand that. I can only hope she gets all the particulars of what I want done. Anyway, get the ECU back late last week, $675.00 later, installed it yesterday... the motor won't start. No spark from what was a perfectly good stock ECM. A little disappointed. Can't get a call in till next week. I'l let you all know what the follow up is. I'm sure they will hook me up. Thanks.

Todd D. seems to have a direct line to him. You might want to seek his help if the problem dosen't get resolved next week. Todd is a great guy and always helpful.

They don't understand sometimes. I know that they are busy but when you are spending a chunk of change you kinda want to speak to someone that is fully knowledgeable on the products. I have 2 ecu's to send, but I could never speak to the actual guy who is doing the work. So I am standing by hoping for that day....

Dennis Hoffman is a good, knowlegdable source for ECU repairs and programming. I have heard of several people sending ECU's off and getting them back not working lately. Quick turnaround and he stays in touch with you before, during and after. When you call, you get him personally.

Eric will make it right. Send it back with a note that has all the info you can give on history of box and what you wanted done plus what happened when you got it back. I have known Eric for 25 years and he works constantly at his business. He will make it right.

Got a call from Simons yesterday afternoon. They admitted a mistake on the programming. I knew there was nothing wrong with the box. I'm going to do a comparison against the 300x stroker ECU i'm running on the motor now. There was no charge even on the shipping. Thanks for the replies. I will post the results on the comparison.

Got my ECU back from Simon Motorsports for the second time back in January. Tried it for the first time on Sunday, still won't run. They were doing a re-flash for a ton of mods I had done to the motor. I have always been directed to a secretary for communication when I call. Back in the day Eric would personally take my calls. I guess I'll send it back for the third time. Anybody else had an issue with Simon lately?

You could send it to DBR in Havasu if you don't get it resolved with Eric. Only had one dealing with Simon and it was a good one but that was 8 years ago
