Will unpluging the ECT cause the pc to go in default mode?

I have my pinging issue solved. Well not exactly. But when I unplug my ECT I dont get any pingingn at all. Now is this because it needs replaced OR because it is pulling timing or something with the computer? I dont want to change the ECT if it is not needed. This is a update off another thread I posted. Thanks, Phil. While I am posting My brakes are rattling, must be calipers,is there a bushing or something that goes bad where the bolt goes through the caliper or something?
