Sad to inform that ASR issue with limp mode is still present.

Before it would happen after driving for a bit, now is there the moment I start the car.

I have started second guessing myself, will remove ETA again and make sure the wires are in the correct positions. I am thinking I might have made a mistake on the wiring.

After Latief pointed me to a great post from another site, I am convinced I made an error on the wiring (swapped 11 and 4)

I have taken the liberty to import to this post the wiring diagram for the M119 ETA as posted on another site.

I claim no credit for this diagram, nor take any responsibility for anyone using it.

I will swap the pins when I get home and will update the results later this evening.

To close this thread.

I had pins 4 and 11 swapped.

Car has been running great for about 3 days with no sign of ASR or limp mode.

The key to my suspicion came from the fact that no humming/whirring sound was coming from ETA with Key On Engine Off. This would always happen before, and stopped after rewiring.

Thank you all for the support.

Has anyone found a source for the ETA pigtail being sold seperately?
