Howdy team SyTy.
I hadn't realized until I was digging for some info that the old .net site appears to be dead. So, I signed up here.
I own 1993 Typhoon 2129. It's Green/Grey. I have had it since 2011. I haven't driven it much over the last 2 years as there have been projects that took much longer than anticipated. I had the wheels restored locally and that kept it on jack stands for several months. While it was on those stands the battery died, and well it hasn't ran right since. I was prepping it for the RadWood L.A. show last year at the Petersen museum. I barely made it out of my town and something happened. It just starter running like crap, sputtering, misfiring... I have gone through several cycles of troubleshooting, changing almost every sensor and associated items. It'll start up just fine, but after warm-up, back to the same rough, sputtering. It is like the EPROM is dead. I get nothing from the ALDL. TTS Datamaster won't connect, ALDL Droid connection times out, nothing. Upon close inspection of the EPROM there is some what looks like heat discoloration between a couple of pins and looks like corrosion outside of the discoloration. I am now pretty sure the EPROM is physically bad and probably not re-flashable. Where do I get a new EPROM to test this. Like some of the other SyTy unique stuff (Intake Tube, Console lid hinge, etc...) am I S.O.L? Can I start with a custom burn on a generic EPROM? Where do I get one?
Thanks for any input! I so miss driving this thing and want it back on the road. Driving my 2011 Ram is boring.
