I've just ordered a used ECU and will have it in 2 weeks, i have already line up a friend to help me recode it.
Let hope it works, during this 2 weeks i will double check the wire harness. Ill will let you know how it goes......
Mine is having and had the same problems as you C Dirty Two.
I actually still have a spare TB because i bought 2 of them thinking its the TB.
This car is such a pain, I've put so much $$$$ into it that i can't cut loss... its great when its working tho

TB & ECU didn't fix my problem i have tried almost everything.
The wire harness was the major problem it only cost $700 and fixed everything, the garage insisted it wasn't the harness as there were no codes but i got to the point of giving up and got him to change it anyway and WOW all done still running fine 1 year after.
So you decide, the engine harness cured ESP, idle hunting, and over heating problems, unstable voltage messes with the ECU operation so many people think its the ECU.
