2005 Triumph Sprint 1050 CDI/ECU
Discussion
Seems the CDI on my old Sprint is knackered. Problem is that there are dozens of newer units for sale on eBay but only one which the part I need, and it’s £250!
Mechanic who diagnosed said there’s a decent spark but just won’t fire. He tried a Power Commander on it, see if that helped but still wouldn’t play.
Any cheaper alternatives before I bite the bullet and spent 25% of the bloody things value to get it sorted?

Yep, you can load the appropriate map for free using TuneECU. You just need the common usb to odb2 cable.
People switch the maps from the tiger / speed triple, so I guess the CDIs are compatible?
This is interesting. So I can download a map and try and add it to my current ECU, assuming it's a software issue and not that the unit itself is knackered?People switch the maps from the tiger / speed triple, so I guess the CDIs are compatible?
Just registered for TriumphRat so guess they may know more but anything I can learn is progress!

Quite often it's not the ECU that's actually failed but the connections to it....
Have you unplugged the connector(s) and checked all the pins are physically there and show no signs of corrosion?
That would be a good start....
Yup, all looks good and clean with no broken pins.Have you unplugged the connector(s) and checked all the pins are physically there and show no signs of corrosion?

Did the mechanic check if the injector is firing petrol out?
I can only assume so but didn’t specifically ask. He certainly gave it a good going over thoughCousinDupree said:
Yeah, you can run diagnostics on it too. I've used it to update a map and correct the speedometer, it's great. The ECu forum on triumphrat is great, the mod for the Sprint forum less so!

Will give that a go too - for the price it’s worth a bash. Thanks!http://www.tuneecu.com/TuneECU_En/index.html
