having trouble with the ecu

Abit low on information there... .

i've only ever seen it on 1 car here in Melbourne - SPIKE's.

He has the push button start and I think it's a very poorly implemented system as you still have to turn the car to ACC to get it to push start.... . It works and I don't think he has any problem with his ECU.

So how can we help? Need a little more information... .

originally its for the right hand side but put it on the left just below the air vent now the trouble is that it works fine when i first start the car go for a drive for more than say 15 minutes then turn it off i try to resart the car the motor turns over its just to about to fire up then it just stops the motor doesn't start but the key start still works . how it works is there is a wire that goes from the alternator to the computer to tell it that the engine is running as a safty if the button gets pushed accidently while the motor is running i think whats happening is that the computer is holding charge and doesn't let it start if it sits for about half an hour its fine starts no worries. any thoughts?

i agree with ofey - i saw the start button and it looks crap
id rarther have the light in the dash that goes from one side to the other
you can only have one or the other

a friend had it installed and it look kinda ugly, also you still have to turn the key then press the button, kinda pointless i reckon.
