That's great Ry, as I've swapped the EPROM from a locked 8P.16 to a unlocked 8P.40 and was having brown trousers about it.
The engine isn't built yet so naturally I can't test if it's going to lock up or it'll actually fire. It's at least good to know it's not usual for that information to be stored in the chip. If the engine doesn't fire the injectors at least now it seems the ECU is less likely to be the culprit.
I have it on second hand experience (ie dodgy idle/ EPROM switched/ good idle) that the EPROM contains the idle map, hence my motivation for the switch as I'm running 1.3 management on a 1.6, and the conversion has a history of dodgy idles before remap. Does the EPROM containing the idle map sound plausible to you?
And MJ05LLY I didn't mean to come across like that, I'm just looking for a definitive answer. When you've been reading every thread you can find on the RR I guess a bit of grumpy rubs off, sorry.
I was also a little bit insulted you thought I had a VTR. You're still not forgiven for that haha
