ECU repair tools?
(OP)
Where to get simulator and technical info to do ecu repairs? And not ebay or something from overseas that has no warranty.

RE: ECU repair tools?
You can find schematics and back-engineered source code for those boxes on the net with a little searching.
Regular 8096 toolchains would probably work okay, mostly, but Intel never gave them away.
In those days of yore, the program was stored in an EPROM, which could be read by a generic reader.
Nowadays, I suspect everyone is using completely special 'System On Chip' setups that are not easily accessed, and may bear no resemblance to any commodity chips.
Good luck...

Generally, I'd think the manufacturers sell the information to the repair places since the newer stuff is way too complex to reverse engineer. Otherwise, companies are reverse engineering them and I doubt they'd want to share the info and lose their competitive advantage.
You make the test jigs, the ones you can anyways. Once again, the newer PCM's are way too complex to easily simulate the operation.

You could supply the ECU with the expected inputs, and monitor the expected outputs with a scope.
Or you could buy/make a new one (once you are farmiliar with the transducers on the vehicle).
