Hello everyone, I would really appreciate your thoughts and help here please.
My 2002 L322 has always been a heavy consumer of batteries. I went to jump start it recently as it had a flat battery and have a battery charger with a booster starter function, which i have used without problems on other cars.
When I went to start the RR with the booster function on, the car initially started then appeared to run on only half it's cylinders before dying.
The 150 amp fuse in the booster had blown too.
The old battery could not hold a decent charge after 48 hours so i fitted yet another new battery.
Now when I try to start the car, i get the same rough running before it dies, but if i let go of the key when trying to start it, the car continues to try and start itself for a few more seconds.
Having read other threads it sounds like i have damaged an ECU or module. I fitted a used engine ECU with the same part number, but the condition prevails.
The last time I had a similar issue is when oil from a leaking rocker cover gasket filled the plug wells and caused a misfire.
No codes come up on my Autel code reader.
Many thanks, Philippe Got to be nuts to run one as a daily driver. My other car is also a RR!
