Even if you compare what might be in the ECU itself with a saved of copy of the same configuration and find no difference I have found that a reflash corrects something. Difficulty starting was one issue that was instantly corrected with a reflash and reload. Even between dyno runs. Sometimes I would make a change and it would go off and have a problem and not start. Reverting to the configuration prior to the change it still would not start. Reflash more often than not fixed the problem.
I had an ECU from the batch with the problem where a wire, or wires, on the connector was a bit long and was intermittently touching the case of the ECU. I suspected this was causing issues but even after trimming all the wires down and insulating the case for good measure I still had the problem. I found this problem before Ecotrons admitted the problem and got round it by electrically isolating the ECU from the chassis.
A good indicator that the ECU is having a problem is that the TPS gauge will not budge off 0% until the throttle is open anywhere from 10-50%.
That's all great, but I'll need to be walked through all that. Since I sold the Ninja 250 about 2+ years ago, I have forgot how to do all that. I have no files, but I do still have the laptop I used to set it up for the first time.
