I've had the same problem... it took a few things to fix it.......how nice
if it had just been one thing.

1 st try another ECU... I carry a spare and  resoldered the original .

2nd the wire that grounds the o2 sensor..where they connect...inside that
connector, it was green...I saw this after cutting the fitting
open....resoldered all wires.

3rd... vangon syndrome... you need either the harness fix... or a 22mf
50volt capacitor across wires 2&3 in your AFM boot... mine was a bit green
on the joints so I resoldered it.

then that was where I found an inline  connector that runs from the AFM to
the hall sender (unseen under the AFM airfilter)... I cleaned this connector
and tied it up so it would not bounce...I tied up the hall sender...a big
wire tie across all 3 wires around the dist cap. so they would not
bounce.... I tied up every connection that dangles... so it wouldn't have
any stress during a bump...

Hope this helps
good luck
RR
