i just got my helms back last week actually, one of my buddies was using it becuase he was doing a OBD-0 b18 swap in a 89 hatch and was rebuilding the engine before he dropped it in, so he was using my helms. i havent had it for a couple months.
i would have just swapped the ECU out but there isnt very many tegs around here, and on top of that there isnt anything older than a 96/97 in the junkyards
and after i got my helms back i went through the no start ECU troubleshooting and thats how i figured it was the ECU after all
