ECU connector

[drbox]

I'm new to the world of TVR and have a Chimera 4.3 (1994)

It has developed a fault which has happened twice - accelerating in 3rd and it suddenly loses all power, the pedal does not respond and it settles to an idle. Switch off and on, it goes back to normal.

My other half's brother is a mechanic and works a lot on Fiat Coupes and is enjoying the challenge of the TVR and it's currently sat in his garage - he has one of these ECU computers but we're stuck for finding the right cable to connect to the ECU (and the appropriate car to identify it by) to see if it's produced one of the errors. I was gratified to even find the connector.....

Saying that, I suspect this is going to be something that someone out there has an answer to and then we can abandon the ECU for the moment.

I have to say, I know almost nothing about cars - I always wanted a TVR and now know a mechanic! I'm learning a lot.....
