You may remember that my Syncro quit running on me last weekend and it
turned out that the ECU was fried.  Well, it is now running with a new ECU
but it seems to be down on power.  It starts and idles fine but lacks power
overall.  On a hill where I used to be able to hold 60 - 65 mph I now have
to have it floored just to get to 50, and it is not smooth - I feel small
hesitations.  Before the ECU died it was running great, none of the problems
I listed above were occurring.  Any ideas or things I should check?  It has
new plug wires, plugs, rotor, cap, air filter and ECU.  I don't have a
Bentley manual yet (probably next thing on my list) so things to check along
with how to check them would be greatly appreciated.

On a separate note, what can cause an ECU to go bad?  Is there anything I
can do to minimize the possibility of that happening again?

Thanks!
Hans
