Jamie;
        Give the ECU a couple good raps while the engine is idling. If it
cuts out you have the infamous solder fatigue problem. Well documented in
the archives. Some of the larger components in the ECU form hairline
cracks in the solder due to vibrations. Only took me a few minutes with
a soldering iron to fix .

Good Luck and Drive Safely
