Guest jjohart Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 Hi, I took the advice of certain previous replies last month when my car was sounding like a knock was taking place at low boost. This was cleared by my spraying the ecu and other connections with electrical cleaner spray, or so I think! Nevertheless, my car gave me a Xmas present a day early, by starting that stumble and metallic clicking noise under light boost, so, I thought I'd cure it by getting something in the way of the die-electrical grease recommended in addition on my previous post. I went and got this "conductivity increasing grease" which apparently utilizes carbon, and got my hands and the ECU teeth/plug ins saturated with the stuff. It didn't say anything about a dry time, and so I waited 2 mins and tried to start the car...it was way worse than before, being undriveable rather than just stumbling on boost. I kept trying to wipe off excess, plug in and remove the under dash plugs, but to no avail. With my luck, this gremlin will disappear in the next day or so, so even though I had it flatbedded to my local dealer, they may say no prob. found, or chew me out for the conductivity grease. I am just wondering if anyone can provide me with a speculative explanation why this stuff didn't work at all (where the cheapo Radio Shack spray did, for a few weeks anyway), and WHY it may have made this situation worse? Thanks John-lights out on Xmas Z! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrayZee Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 It's not so much that it increases conductivity, this stuff probably IS conductive. The elecrtical signals are probably jumping all over the place (from wire to wire) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
