Hello all. First of all, thanks for having me.
I just picked up a 1996 Disco with 142K miles (rescue mission). It starts with high idle then the idle is all over the place. When running it, stutters and lurches at all speeds. It will stall at stop signs until it is warmed up. I have tried several OBD readers and none can get a read from the port. I have checked fuses and connections which all seem fine.
The PO said he had taken it in and the mechanic said he needed a new ECU (sounds about right).
My question is, is the ECU plug and play or does it need to be setup with a Testbook?
I do realize that other things may cause similar behavior, but since I can't get an OBD reading, I think it is a logical place to start.
Thanks for any help
